Stop practicing until you know this.

More practice doesn’t always mean more progress.
If you keep repeating the same mistake, you’re not improving…
You’re reinforcing it.

Before you start your next practice session, ask yourself one question:
What am I trying to improve today?
Not everything.
Just one thing.
Maybe it’s maintaining your frame.
Maybe it’s smoother rise and fall.
Maybe it’s staying connected to your partner.
Or perhaps it’s dancing more musically.
When you give your practice a clear purpose, every repetition becomes more valuable.
Twenty minutes of focused practice will often achieve more than two hours of mindlessly dancing through routines.
Don’t just count the hours.
Make the hours count.
So before you press play on your favourite track, decide your focus.
Your future self—and your dancing—will thank you.
What’s the one thing you’ll focus on in your next practice session?
