I tell my dance students when they are dancing progressions across the studio floor to always be mindful of the direction they are traveling; to listen to the music, get the tempo before taking the first stride.
The next thing that I usually reiterate to my students is NEVER to copy the moves of the person next to them - as copying throws a person off his/her natural rhythm. It's similar to losing one individuality when one copies... You'd never develop your own style/ character.
A dancer (versus a non-dancer) in day-to-day life — should strive to focus and dance along their own path and endeavor not to try to emulate the person next to them, not to mention, get caught up with the habits of those around them.
Keeping to your own path and focusing on your goal is essential for maintaining continuity of music and movement - how one gets there, independently, is what adds the color and spice.
