Scientists identify moves that make men irresistible on the dancefloor
| Quote: |
Psychologists have used avatars to pinpoint the killer moves that can make men great dancers.
The enduring mystery of why men rarely flatter themselves when they take to the dancefloor may finally have been solved.
A team of psychologists used video footage of men strutting their stuff to pinpoint the killer moves that separate good dancers from bad.
Men who were judged to be good dancers had a varied repertoire and more moves that involved tilting and twisting the torso and neck.
But the majority of men displayed highly repetitive moves that used their arms and legs, but not the rest of their bodies.
"It's rare that someone is described as a good dancer if they are flinging their arms about but not much else," said Nick Neave, a psychologist at the University of Northumbria, who led the study.
"Think about a head banger. Their head movement has a large amplitude, but it's not changing direction or showing any kind of variability. That's a bad dancer. Or someone who is just twisting and turning left and right? That's a bad dancer too."
While features such as body shape and facial symmetry are well known indicators of healthy development, a person's dance moves may send out more subtle clues about their potential as a mate, Neave said. |
etc.

| "The head, neck and upper body come out as the key features that are important for good dancing and that surprised us," said Neave, whose study is published in the journal Biology Letters. "When you see brilliant dancers, you'll see their bodies, heads and necks are all doing ever so slightly different things in time to the music." |
If you go to the link, you can watch the little avatar dance.

| I tell you what, after a year of dancing on ecstacy for hours on end, I learned how to move everything and the women started lining up on hands and knees! |
