Please.
Here are some of the things women have said to me when I've done this to them

1. "Could you try to do moves that don't involve so much spinning as I'm starting to feel really dizzy" - he might see this as a challenge to find suitable moves. I would ask the woman if she'd like to sit down.

2. "I'm sorry, I've got to sit down I'm so dizzy" - I know the guy might feel insulted but you shouldn't let a guy keep spinning you until you can't even stand up.

3. "Can you show me how to do those moves without getting dizzy?" This would mean he slows right down and shows you how to spot on him and not look at the floor/your feet when you spin.

The guy sounds really nice (I nearly fancy him myself from your description ), I'm sure he would be mortified if he knew he'd caused you a problem. Just about every dancer I've known has been nice and if he's a decent dancer he'd be only too pleased to help you
