Scenario

When couples competing in their shared passion changes the dynamic

My spouse and I used to dance salsa together every weekend just because we loved moving together, but since we started competing, every dance feels like practice and we critique each other's steps instead of just getting lost in the music.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
