Being probably guilty of both , I'd say it's not about exporting bad habits into your MJ, but more about:
- just trying stuff you like in a different dance in your MJ - hopefully with a very good lead who will compensate for your lack of clarity as you try and develop this (hopefully, up to the point where you will figure out how to do it seamlessly one day... ), i.e. in fact expanding the boundaries of your MJ
- or in fact deliberately working on a technique that is required in the other dance, to the detriment of your MJ. Especially true of WCS as there aren't many opportunities to practice in WCS freestyle, so MJ nights become a bit of a 'practice ground'. Hence me saying some time ago I don't step back anymore , or over-practicing your frame and 'locking your shoulders' but becoming too heavy... (but that can get fixed later on, as what mattered at the time was to get this as second nature...)
Hopefully in both cases it's just a learning curve as you develop new dance skills and will get fixed with more practice and experience...
