At different phases of your dance journey, technique will either become the focal point of your training, or it will simply become the structure and foundation that will effectively allow you to rehearse and perform choreography without limitations and to the best of your artistic ability.
However, if you are a student or are at a place where performance opportunities are limited - then this is your chance to channel your energy towards being extremely intentional with your training. Every class is an opportunity for you to PROGRESS and make intentional improvements to yourself - class can very quickly become a mindless and mundane practice, and this is where most dancers fall trap. To the idea of taking class purely just to “maintain” their technique, rather than to actively progress.
Know the difference between the two, and apply accordingly depending on the season you are currently in.
