It's been shown that the speed of your dance partner makes a very small difference when it comes to personal damage output for the dancer. Yet the difference the dancer makes for the person they are partnered with is VERY noticeable. So if you want to make the most out of your damage buffs, it will always be best to partner with the person in your group putting out the most damage.
