"Good dancers make the fittest mates" says german research
<<Nadine Hugill and Bernhard Fink of the University of Göttingen in Germany found that men whose dancing was rated as attractive and assertive by women were physically stronger than those whose moves were dismissed as below par. "We already know women use static cues such as facial and bodily characteristics in their assessments of men," says Fink. "This study shows that dynamic cues such as dancing ability might also be used to assess male quality in terms of strength and dominance - traits which eventually signal status.">> (New Scientist)

2. No kidding
Worst thing about my ex (other than the booze) was that he was a boring white guy who was too tragically hip to dance.

He never managed to get the fact that dancing is about how you feel, not how you look!
