Do you think dancing in front of a mirror helps or hinders the dancer?

I have read conflicting opinions on this. I know that having a mirror to dance in front of you can help you correct yourself, but I have also heard that for some it actually distracts and their dance becomes unnatural when looking in the mirror. I have a mirror that's about 5ft tall and 2ft wide (ish) and I'm wondering if it's worth keeping. I know its not the biggest but I figured something is better than nothing. I'm not a serious about dancing so my dancing being perfect isn't a concern, its more for fitness and fun. So far I have noticed that my dancing is more controlled in the mirror (I have recorded myself w/o the mirror and I noticed that I get sloppy), but I also am starting to go out of my way to cram the steps in so I can see myself in the mirror and it obviously messes me up. Opinions?
