You hit the nail on the head, anyone who is prepared to put the effort in can and
will improve. What it takes is hard work practising every day (or every couple of days) small style points learnt in workshops, dancing with many different people and letting their style inspire you, trying out different dances to get a different perspective and new footwork / moves and spending some time un-learning bad habits (possibly using a video camera to watch yourself.
Most of the above is very time consuming and can be quite depressing (especially the video bit
), but as you say, the results can be very dramatic in a relatively short amount of time...
Very few people however will want to or need to go to such lengths, dancing is mostly about having a good time.
