Or a hint that you need to stop in the middle of a dance.
Can't you just decline the dance in the first place? (I've honestly never tried, but I could decline stuff like wine with Shadowheart or Gale's magic lesson.) Does he look just as disappointed if you cut the scene off immediately?

Gosh, please, no. Even with less content than several other companions, I find Wyll to be written a thousand times better than Jacob.
