The best dancer I have laid eyes on in my entire life was at a goth club. This guy was so good he actually made his partners look like they knew what they were doing, flawlessly adapting to their little mistakes. It was astonishing. You would see them with someone else and they were a mess, but this guy just ... blended everything without a seam. It took effort not to gawp at this guy because you rarely get to see someone who is a complete master at something in the wild. I've been to ballet and he made most of the performers I have seen on stage look like palsied bears by comparison. How much work and energy does it take to get to that level?
It's a bit like how impressive the dance scene is in Ex Machina (from a Watsonian, not Doylist, perspective): you realize that this gynoid is capable of watching this guy out of the corner of its eye and matching his every doubtlessly unplanned mildly inebriated move, as Nathan is probably a guy who leads when he dances, not follows.
