If he did look at his partner he would maybe become more aware that she isn't enjoying the dance! If your partner doesn't smile at any point then you maybe need to question why this is the case.
I agree some safety parts of etiquette only, may be important.

For that reason, is there really a problem with a beginner lead looking at the floor - at least he isn't stepping on his partners feet.
