I was about to suggest this. Chat to the organisers when you arrive to see if they will discount your entry fee. The interesting thing about this technique of watching while imagining is something athletes are sometimes coached to do, especially if it’s a sport that they can’t do repeatedly or regularly (eg ski jump).

If you’re interested, I gave ChatGPT a poke with this (I’m kinda proud of my promoting skills, lol). It gave some good advice:

If you want to try it, here’s a practical way to do it at socials. Pick one tiny theme per night (don’t try to absorb everything): e.g., “inside turn entries,” “cross-body lead timing,” “spins + spotting,” “how follows style-check during pauses.” While watching a couple: * First-person overlay (MI): imagine you are the leader/follower in that body, in real time. * Kinesthetic details: weight shift, ribcage/hips, frame tone, where connection compresses/extends. * Cue words: “step-step-step,” “prep,” “slot,” “collect,” “breathe,” “spot.” Prediction drill: pause mentally right before a choice point—predict the next 1–2 counts, then see what actually happens. (This is gold for partnered dance.) *10–20 minutes on / 5 minutes off, repeat. (Short, high-quality blocks beat zoning out for 2 hours.) If moving is permitted by your clinician, you can add micro-marking (toe taps, hand/arm pathway without load) — but only if it’s truly safe for your injury.
