I (23F) dance West Coast Swing. I started dancing in September on 2018. It's my favorite social hobby. I want to continually improve in both following and leading; I accept any and all feedback at all times; no feedback for me is unsolicited. Today, my instructors had a dance gathering at their house, and about two hours in I asked one of them for feedback in my dancing (because she knows my dancing far better than I do). I have a competition coming up the weekend after the next, so I want to improve as much as possible before then. She pointed out that I tend to take ginormous steps and bend my legs (she said this in a much nicer way, of course). I am very happy that I was made aware of this; however, I wish that someone had said something earlier because bad habits are much harder to break over time... I'm more of a social dancer, and my first ever private lesson is during the competition weekend, so I understand that in socials people tend to focus more on their own dancing and having fun rather than their partner's dancing. Also, SOP is usually "no teaching on the dance floor," but in order for me to improve, I need to be aware of all of my mistakes... AITA for wishing that someone had said something earlier? Is my head up my butt? Am I basically asking people to think less of themselves and more of me? The world doesn't revolve around me; I wouldn't want anyone to have to bend over backwards to help me with my dancing, but maybe just a few tips or points to make me aware of some things that I can't see in my own dancing (coming from a third-person point of view, impossible to see from a first-person point of view)......
