Maybe what he meant is that there are some who have a brilliant technique but not that extra "spark" that makes them special. In other words- technique is great and can always be improved.... but it's not all you need to become a fantastic dancer.

In music it's the same- you can hear people who might be technically brilliant but you can't hear the soul of the music or the story they're telling.
