I went on a style workshop last weekend, which started with the teachers making the point that style is a personal thing so don't try to look like other people (find your own style). However one of them later pointed out to me that I lift my feet a lot when I dance rather than gliding around smoothly.

My problem is that when I am enjoying myself my feet do lift more and my body generally moves more and I guess it doesn't look stylish. There is a girl I dance with occasionally who also moves her body a lot (a kind of shimmying thing) which looks, and feels, a bit odd but she clearly enjoys herself.

If you really let yourself go when dancing does style go out of the window? Are style and self expression mutually exclusive?
