British scientists have carried out an unusual experiment: they have carefully analyzed dance moves and determined which of them make men more attractive in the eyes of women.
The researchers confirmed that women instantly associate a good dance with good health and therefore a high reproductive potential in a partner. "In animals, the male has to be in good physical quality to carry out these movements. We think the same is happening in humans and certainly the guys that can put these movements together are going to be young and fit and healthy," said Nick Neave, a psychologist at the University of Northumbria.
The scientists also took blood samples from volunteers. The results showed that men who have good dancing skills are in good health while bad dancers are not.
