True: bad choice of words.

...One thing I think I've figured out is that pure isolation is something to aim for, and something for exercises, not something that is ever achieved in actual dance. By aiming at perfect isolation, and just missing, the stuff that is happening with my body would be reflected in our connection in a subtle way, layered underneath the lead/follow.
I've never heard anyone reputable say this, so it's probably garbage.

I agree: "perfect isolation" is purley an excercise - it's a skill and technique that should allow you to convey
more of what's happening in your style through the connection; pick and choose what bits to put accross rather than having no controll or awareness of it.

I think a lot of this is etiquette advice, not style advice.

Yes... and no... Where does "style" start/stop? Style is not only about the way you move: it's about your attitude. This attitude does not start and stop when the track does. If you are gracious and considerate off the dance floor, then there is more likleyhood that you will be gracious and consederate on it: you look out for your partner, have a connection with them, are bound together in music for three minuites... then you say "tarra lov" and all grace and consideration vanishes?
Thanks for the feedback
