Guys Should Dance: Science of Sexy Dancing

Gentlemen, don’t be a wallflower! Show the ladies that you are not only the calm, cool, and collected fellow she is looking for, but that you have great dance moves too!

Despite what you may think, dancing is going to sneak up on you in some sort of social situation whether you like it or not – like at a party. There will be music. There will be dancing. What will you be doing? Well, you should be DANCING, because a man that can dance is more attractive to a woman!

In fact, Dr. Nick Neave and Kristofor McCarty, a psychologist and researcher from Northumbria University, conducted a study using 3D motion-capture technology and biomechanical analyses to examine the extent to which a male’s dance moves provides clues about his physical strength and fitness to both male and female observers.

What they found is that the ladies were actually more attracted to dancers that made large movements with their neck and trunk. On the contrary, men who seemed more closed off with smaller movements or moved entirely too much were viewed as bad dancers. So, let me ask you, which of these two types of dancers are you?

Joel Waldman from Fox 5 News was curious enough about this study that he turned to Dance With Me Studios to test this theory!

Check out the video below!

So put away your fears, inhibitions, and insecurities, and get out on the dance floor!

What do you say… Will you dance with me?
