A good thing to do is record yourself dancing, your style looks different in reality to how it looks in your head.
Couldn't agree more! I recently practiced dancing here at home with 2 mirrors just so I can see how I "really" look when dancing. I love your 2 cents! I think this is applicable to many styles of dancing too. I still have trouble relaxing and it shows in my stiff shoulders but somehow I am able to catch myself doing so and remind myself mentally to relax and just enjoy the music, the beat, the connection with my partner.
