ah remigo... I went thru this with dance. I used to dance for the joy of dancing... then the better I got the more men wanted to dance with me... next thing I know I have a dedicated partner and I'm competing in 4 ballroom dances at an amateur level... pretty soon, we're practicing 4 nights a week for 2-3 hours per night. And I'm tired. And annoyed when we don't "get" it... we win several competitions which is cool, but now I'm sorta dreading dancing.

I lost the JOY of it. So I stopped. I stopped competing, and started dancing for me again. I'll never lack partners due to the level I'm at... but there are MANY people that are WAY better dancers than me... and many that are way worse. And ya know what? It doesn't matter. I dance for ME now.

Ride for you. That's my best input. Hugs...
