- Some British psychologists claim to have solved one of life's oldest, most confounding and most embarrassing mysteries. They say they have finally identified the male dance moves "that catch a woman's eye."
The researchers, at Northumbria University, conclude that being good on the dance floor may indicate which men are in good health and have good baby-making potential.
Researchers found that women paid more attention to the core body region: the torso, the neck, the head. It was not just the speed of the movements, it was also the variability of the movement -- someone who is twisting, bending, moving, nodding.
Using 3D motion-capture technology the researchers analyzed 19 men and created animations to show "good" and "bad" moves. Movements which were seen as negatives by women were twitchy and repetitive -- so called 'Dad dancing'.
