That means that I will see different things in your dancing than the average person that you meet.
How does that mesh together with “people don’t feel emotions because of the knowledge that they have”? (not an entirely rhetorical question)
(I’m trying to recall whether that one guy I know who dances salsa regularly has ever seen me dancing—I’m not sure, and anyway, I don’t trust his judgements about me to be unbiased, given that I know that there’s such a thing as the halo effect and I’ve repeatedly heard, from several different people, that he’s always telling people at parties how I was the best student in the mathematical physics class where he was a TA in the past freakin’ decade.)
(One person who sees me dance much of the time (she’s the girlfriend of one of the karaoke guys in the bar in the video I linked), and has also danced with me in a nightclub a few times—she’s a belly dancing instructor, which may be too different from anything else. Her sister is a Bollywood dancing instructor (from whom I once took a few classes), and she’s also always complimenting me; anyway, in case this is relevant to anything, she incorrectly thought that I had spent lots of time rehearsing for this (I’m the male one) while I had actually spent maybe 10 minutes—so I guess that’s the halo effect and/or gilding the pill to avoid discouraging me.)
