Can you identify with this constant struggle to make algorithm-friendly decisions that often come at the expense of a sense of authenticity?
Can you still find a way to show authenticity in more outward-looking dancing?

Fully clothed pole videos don’t usually perform well on social media (regardless of the shadowbanning issue…), nor do longer dance formats (especially if they’re not choreographed or performative); bit content like this tends to have a better chance.
The algorithm actually often influences my decisions about what I post, which means I only show some facets of myself. But it doesn’t influence how I dance.

The problem I see for me is not in the authenticity of my dancing’s intentions – I see it in this tricky game of staying visible enough, knowing that the things I spend most of my time doing, that allow me to “dance beautifully” through all the “ugly” stuff, are not appreciated in a world with ridiculously short attention spans. That is sometimes quite discouraging.
How do you deal with this challenge?

In the moment of this little dance, I was simply enjoying myself to a funny song without delving deeper into my feelings or emotions. I was aware of that at the time and was perfectly fine with it.

Authenticity doesn’t have to mean baring your soul every time. I think a big aspect of that is making an effort to be fully present to whatever facet of myself I’m tapping into at that moment.

What you realize and become aware of in that moment is probably the truest thing you can know, especially in a world of rapidly changing, disposable trends.
