YES! You don't copy others, when you learn to listen exactly to the music, feel it and interpret it with your body your way. I never dance choreography, I always improvise, because I know the patterns of the music and the "rules" of what movement suits what rhythm/instrument/mood etc. But because I go very much into the music people think that I dance choreography. You'll never see me dancing twice the same thing on a song though. Therefore I am not afraid of people "stealing" my "choreographies", because if they copy something they saw me dancing on a video, they will just copy that specific moment. Next time my "choreography" will look different again
