As a dancer, I often use my dance education and experiences by associating concepts and find it helps me understand and evolve in the many life challenges and relate to the changing world.

In a world where almost everyone is interfacing with ChatGPT and AI and finding new and improved ways of  prompting  for  application of technology for every day use, I find some relevant associations here with partner dancing and technology.

Dancing  & Prompting has a lot in common
A dance with a partner is an action and response
More than a reaction. Likewise in today’s world  every day is a dance  with AI and our prompts are nothing but inputs towards an intelligent response than just a reaction.
The better the input the better the output.
Here I want to share a few thoughts for starters
Dancing with a partner is about being in tandem, one leading the way and one following without anticipation
Likewise prompting is about giving clear directions without ambiguity.
To dance is to set and hold the frame
In a good prompt setting the context and format helps to streamline the output.

In a dance the music sets the movements of the dance…
And in a prompt sharing the example of what it feels like helps clearer and relevant  output.

In a dance a leader can evaluate as you go which steps will work with which partner. Assessing the dance space available helps in evaluating the flow. For there are no second moves… Whatever you do decides the dance flow…  And you are free to improvise your self as you go along

Likewise in prompts evaluation helps check what is working and tweaking it gives better quality output.

When a dancer is a professional Dancing a single step  may feel fluid but in breaking down the steps it’s easier to understand the flow.
In prompting dividing the steps well into multiple steps  connected  to a certain goal will give desired results.

Be it a dance with partner or with words for AI when you have a clear intention and purpose and are able to communicate what you want and where you want to reach,  in easily understable  and suitable way not only will  you reach your destination  You will enjoy the journey!
