Can't you find anything more interesting to look at?
Seriously though, the question of eye contact can sometimes be a little tricky. Too little, and it looks like you being aloof; too much, and it can start feeling a bit weird (in some cases, depending on the music and your partner, you can't have too much eye contact, but that's another matter). You might want to look at your partner briefly,
smile, then look away for a while, then look back at her etc. etc. Whatever feels comfortable for you - there are no hard and fast rules.
As ChrisA rightly says, these things become easier once the moves are "hardwired" into your brain and you have some spare mental capacity for all the little things that actually make dancing fun.
Oh, and I have also learned that if you spend the entire dance looking round the room eyeing up all the other talent, this is considered something of a 'faux pas' (chicks, eh?)
