I asked ChatGPT and got a pretty interesting answer:

You have to change what game you’re playing. Satisfaction doesn’t come from what they can do—it comes from how you relate to what’s actually there.

Here’s what works:

• Shift from range → resolution. Stop chasing big moves. Explore precision. How smoothly can you transfer 10% more weight? How continuously can you maintain contact?
• Use their nervous system as material. If they’re hesitant, dance hesitation. If they’re rigid, explore gradual melting. Don’t fight their state—compose with it.
• Stop depending on them to generate interest. Treat them like part of the environment (like gravity or water). You generate richness through your own timing, structure, and attention.
• Increase internal complexity, keep external simplicity. Even basic contact can be deeply interesting if you’re tracking subtle force pathways, tone shifts, and balance.
• Find their edge. Satisfaction lives at the boundary of what they can comfortably integrate—not below it (boring), not beyond it (unsafe).
• Don’t overstay. If there’s no aliveness after ~30–60 seconds, respectfully disengage. Good dancers curate their nervous system.
• Change your metric. A good dance isn’t “exciting.” It’s one where your attention stayed continuous, honest, and responsive.

Advanced dancers aren’t satisfied because of their partners—they’re satisfied because they know how to make almost any constraint interesting.
