Fair point. You don't have to freeze - most of the better dancers don't. It is just that stopping is the easiest thing to do (other than ignoring the break completely). If you are learning how to listen to the music, then don't worry about your dancing at the same time.
Hitting the breaks is usually the first thing that you learn in musical interpretation, because it is the easiest thing to do, and the most obvious when you don't. But it is only a small (and sometimes over-rated) part of interpreting the music.

If this works for you then keep doing it. Anything you can do that gives you more enjoyment from your dancing is worth it. I get the most fun from dancing to a really good track the first or second time I hear it.

Couldn't agree more. It's just that I can't dance at work, or at home...
