All the Right Moves – Attention All Men!
LOL. I posted this on PureDerekHough because they use a picture of him and Nicole, but I figured this was an interesting article about a dance study that was done in England. Found this in the NY Daily News Click the link to read more.
Best foot forward?
Guys who make the right moves on the dance floor just might attract the girl of their dreams. It’s the speed of a man’s right knee, paired with the variety and the shape of his neck and torso movements that can set a woman’s heart aflutter, according to research reported on LiveScience.com.
Psychologists employed computer-generated avatars to figure out what ladies like to see in a guy when he dances.
At Northumbria University in England, they filmed 19 guys ranging in age from 18 to 35. Using a 12-camera system as the guys danced to a German dance track, the researchers mapped the volunteers’ movements onto white, featureless, gender-neutral characters.
They used this picture with the article.
I hate that the abc website is still...
That is sooo cool! Derek is such a master of dance, yeah, he should be the image for this subject, and of course, seeing Nicole doesn’t hurt my eyes at all! I’m so happy they put a picture of their jive, which is my favorite dance of all time from DWTS!
LOL…I saw a blurb about it on the local news. Except they didn’t show a picture of Derek – they showed a video of some random hipster-looking Asian dude in a leather jacket doing some generic dance moves on a catwalk. It really had nothing to do with the subject matter of the article, other than the fact that he was dancing. Must’ve been stock footage
Look how their mouths are even the same. Derek is brilliant.
Heidi this is so so true. A study some years ago among women asked: “What would you most like to see in a potential mate”. Very high on the list was that: “It would be nice if he could dance just a little.”
Several years ago the wife and I were in a club that has a decent dance floor but other than “Booty Shaking”, not much dancing goes on. The wife and I have been taking Ballroom lessons for quite some time. They just happened to play a waltz and the wife and I got up a danced a few very basic steps. When we sat down, I looked up and it seemed every woman in the place was looking at me with a smile and a grin that said: “I wish I could do that.”
Guys, take note.
