At school, we are doing something called "Dancing with the Teachers." It's like Dancing with the Stars, but it's students dancing with teachers. The profits are to help students go on a mission trip to Jamaica.
My partner is my favorite teacher. He is 49/m. This is all just for like .. fun. So it doesnt have to be hardcore.
I am a dancer. Over the years I've done acro, tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, lyrical, modern, and hip hop.
My Question: What kind of dance should I do with him? It can be anything. Any type of ballroom isnt out of the question because my aunt is a professional and could make us a routine.

Funny story, but my school does something like this too.
One of my favorite styles of dance is swing dancing (and it always seems to win our little competition). It's fun, easy, and looks cool. Since your aunt's a pro, she will probably be able to teach you, but if not, it's easy to learn from Youtube videos. There's a basic step, and from there you can just make crap up and it looks alright. Here's a video:

You don't have to do crazy aerial stunts to make it cool- the stunt around 1:19 is easy and looks cool too. Good songs to swing dance to are: "Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman, "Go Daddy-O" by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, "Jump, Jive, and Wail" by Brian Setzer, "Zoot Suit Riot" by Cherry Poppin' Daddies, and even "Candyman" by Christina Aguilera (even though it's not a swing song).
My second favorite style of dance is the cha-cha. Here's a video... it's in a different language but it's a pretty good instruction video even if you turn the sound off :)

A really great cha-cha song is "Sway" by Michael Buble. Here's a better video (in English):

It kind of depends on his abilities too. If he can tap dance like Fred Astaire, then a Fred and Ginger routine wouldn't be completely out of the question. Try to pick a style that is fun and would impress the audience. Good luck :)

Do something from the 50's. He'd like that cause it's his era and plus he'd be able to do it. Butttt then you should tie in some like cool hip hop moved too. I think that would be cute andd fun!
