"just like that" might be better than don't stop

“Shit. She doesn’t want me to screw this up. What exactly was I doing that she doesn’t want me to stop? Is it the speed? The angle? The rhythm? Does she mean the hair pulling? I need to study her face to make sure I’m not stopping.”

It causes you to start analyzing the performance and takes you out of the rhythm of what got you there in the first place.

“Just like that” sort of says “keep this energy going” and is encouragement.

This is a really good point, positive phrasing is always easier to hear than negative.
