Probably the best thing about partner dance is that everybody needs a dance partner. Being pretty good is almost as much fun as being the Best In The Whole Friggin' World, and even being "enh" usually still means you get to dance.

Playing and writing music is different; we all have the option to listen to the Best In The Whole Friggin' World, and generally we take it. If you want an audience, you'd best find a niche, or start scaling that Best In The World mountain. Even your best friends are going to be... exactly as meh as you are, when it comes to listening to anything less. And that's only fair. Admit it, you hardly ever click when your friend posts an audio recording either.

But who says an audience matters? These things can be satisfying in their own right.
