The main thing that says you are good dancer is not so much how your feet or body moves, but the way you feel the music as you dance. It is sort of like listening to a singer and thinking they sound good, then watching them with no feeling for the song as they sing, it then is not great singing, just good.
The feeling you have while you are dancing is what makes great dancers. I’ve seen people that never mess up a step, but they just mechanically move and do not feel the dance, to me they did not dance great. The best thing to help you feel the dance and music is wearing the correct shoes. Ballroom dance shoes comes for men and women and it is just as important for the man to wear them as the woman. Men’s ballroom dances shoes are made for the ballroom floor just as is the women’s shoes. They have extra padding for the ball of the foot and they help you to stand correctly to have the right posture for dancing. The sole is also covered with suede for the floors at dance studios and clubs.
