The moment you start dancing to prove something, you lose the connection. Why? Because impressing feels like pressure. 👉 Your focus shifts outward: worrying about how you look instead of how it feels. 👉 Your body tenses up: movements get forced and stiff. 👉 Mistakes feel bigger: because you were trying to prove something. That’s why connection disappears. Connection = presence, comfort, and ease. Impressing = proving, pressure, and tension. The best social dances aren’t remembered for tricks.
