If you've ever seen the scene of Angel having a flashback of why he doesn't dance you'll know why the "good dancer" video reminded me of it.<br /><br />I have a theory that women just innately tend to look better dancing then men, but women tend to disagree with it.ghostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-48654271010828603262010-09-09T16:09:35.024+01:002010-09-09T16:09:35.024+01:00@Mark, there's no question of dancing 'wit...@Mark, there's no question of dancing 'with', as partner dance wasn't considered.<br />@Anonymous - you seem to think the article says almost the exact opposite of what I think it says. Why do you think that it says 'big, ostentatious' movements were more attractive than others? They say very specifically what they measured, and it wasn't that.msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-6362922220847359482010-09-09T15:57:39.284+01:002010-09-09T15:57:39.284+01:00I suspect that like in real life it's more com...I suspect that like in real life it's more complicated, as it almost ways is with humans. We humans form groups, either in the way we are made (iq, child culture) or brought up (friends, influences, adult culture). <br /><br />So I'm happy that a section, maybe even a big section, of humans is attracted by big movements and extrovert ostentatious displays - I refuse to believe that some of us are attracted by a more assured, connoisseured, no-need to fling it about, style of dance where we appreciate some of the nuanced, the details, the witty absences of movement, the humour ... <br /><br />I suspect its the difference between many people liking big triple decker mc-donalds chemically enhanced burgers vs a tiny small amouse-bouche flight of gastronomic excellence.<br /><br />This talks about it - and has a video of small assured dance, not big crazy dance.<br />http://insearchoftango.blogspot.com/2010/05/espresso-please-not-pint-of-milk.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-81695043127918455332010-09-08T23:47:23.937+01:002010-09-08T23:47:23.937+01:00I can't see Ghost's video in Argentina - h...I can't see Ghost's video in Argentina - helpfully blocked on copyright grounds by Sony - but pity the poor woman who has to dance with either of those bad/good avatars.Markhttp://walkjivefly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-79459889711120148002010-09-08T22:14:56.776+01:002010-09-08T22:14:56.776+01:00Particularly after looking at the good dancer vide...Particularly after looking at the good dancer video I refer you to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SendZQVVMQM&feature=fvw" rel="nofollow">this</a><br /><br />Can you spot <b>any</b> men who look like they're good dancers?
