Are you really trying to say that you should forever be stuck playing B-ball with her just because she wants to? I think not.
If the original poster has other issues about trust with his girl, then by all means he should pay attention to that. However, simply dancing with other people is not a criminal act, and if her behavior is limited to wanting to dance with people who know how to, I don't see a problem. You guys don't own your girlfriends, you know.The way she does/does not treat him is a separate matter, which he didn't ask for advice about. He wanted to know about the dancing, which is what I am addressing.
Skatechild - since you are apparently unaware of what feminism means, I am providing you with the dictionary definition: Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. So am I a feminist? Damn right I am (although admittedly, I am far from an extremist). Which part of that definition do you take exception to?
