It has been found that young women rated young male dancers higher when they performed large, variable movements of their head, neck, and torso. Male dancers were also considered "good" dancers if they displayed fast bending and twisting of the right knee. They have used motion-capture technology to record different males dancing in different ways. To avoid bias, when the females were asked to identify which dancers showed strong dancing ability, they only saw plain grey avatars.
In humans, dance is a set of intentional, rhythmic, culturally influenced, non-verbal body movements that have been considered to be an important aspect of sexuality and courtship attraction. Dancing ability, particularly that of men, may serve as a signal of male mate quality in terms of physical strength, prenatal androgenization and symmetry, and thus affect women's perceptions of men's attractiveness.
Case in point: Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing." Of course, there's absolutely no guarantee that a guy swinging his head around and twisting his right knee will make him more attractive, but the rhythmic use of these types of moves could help a young guy with two left feet seem much more skilled. So guys, if you plan on cutting up a rug this weekend, consider adding a few of these moves into your repertoire.
And the best place to learn and develop these moves is in line dancing. You don't have to worry about a partner and you can develop your moves according to the way you feel the music. And we all know they need more men in Line dancing. So git wid it. And by the way, what is the difference in the over forty, more experienced dancers that are dancing in a different way?

"Most dancers know that honesty is an expensive gift.
So don't expect it from cheap people."

"Social Dancers know that we do not have to dance better than anyone else.
We just try to dance a little better today than we did yesterday."
