About the subject —

In the world of dance, many may argue that dancing alone requires a higher level of skill and technique. However, when it comes to pro-am competitions, the notion is challenged.

To dance with a partner demands a depth of understanding, coordination, and trust that surpasses the challenges faced by solo dancers. Unlike dancing alone where the performer has control over every movement and timing, partnering necessitates constant synchronisation between two individuals. The footwork, poses, and spins executed by both partners need to be perfectly timed and flawlessly executed to create a seamless routine.

Moreover, dancing with a partner also entails an emotional connection and ability to interpret each other's movements intuitively. Resilience in overcoming disagreements or missteps must be displayed with grace during dynamic performances.

Thus, contrary to popular belief, partnering in pro-am competitions is remarkably demanding and necessitates skills beyond what it takes to excel as a solo dancer.
