I think it all depends on what you want. There may be several reasons why you might want to look stylish - ranging from entering competitions to just being vain (not that I'd know anything about that
).
If you want to look good, video yourself dancing. There's no hiding from the results
, as I discovered this year when I entered my first serious competition.
But if you're not interested in competitions, and/or otherwise aren't too bothered about what you look like, then that's fine - providing that:
a) you're sensitive to how it feels, not just for yourself but for the people you dance with (cos otherwise you may be yanking your partner about)
b) you're aware of the space you and your partner are taking up on the dance floor.
I was dancing last night, next to a guy who was obviously having great fun. So much so that he very energetically spun his partner right into me, and her sharp heel went right down the side of my shoe.
So if you're having fun, that's the main thing - providing the fun you're having isn't at anyone's expense - either your partner's or that of others on the floor.
