Exploration, fosters curiosity and discovery, maybe because these can take you off-piste on adventures outside the ambit of control.
Teachers have templates or sequences to build a particular move which rely on one-size-fits-all. When you explore you realise immediately that isn't true. People are different. I remember a woman who wanted to learn the cross but couldn't do it with her partner and wanted help. She, like many people had restricted movement so the move needed adapting. People are also different heights, sizes, have different balance. In short, there is no size fits all. Everything needs to be adapted, often radically adapted, by exploring.
The best dancing is not routine, but exploratory.
