It has been revealed in a recent study that certain dance moves are more appealing to the opposite sex and can lead to an attraction.
Scientists discovered that the parts of the body that are being moved while dancing and a certain amount of natural co-ordination probably helps in attracting the opposite sex.
In a study conducted by a team at Northumbria University to establish which dance moves are the most appealing to the opposite sex, it was discovered that women prefer men who can move the top half of their body fluently, meaning those who copy the style of popstar Justin Timberlake are most likely to be considered attractive.
Women prefer men who dance with their upper body because it signals their strength.

On the other hand, women who dance using the bottom half of their bodies like singer Beyonce were the most appealing to men.
Men prefer woman who move their lower bodies as it could indicate fertility.

Dancers who waved their arms around, or kept them still next to their bodies, were considered ‘odd’ by both sexes.
Evolutionary biologists believe dancing serves both to attract the opposite sex and to ‘intimidate’ same-sex rivals.Dr Nick Neave, senior lecturer in Psychology, who led the study, said: "To our knowledge, no previous studies have identified specific movement components that may influence perceived dance quality.
"The accuracy of the (camera) system has helped us identify the specific movements within men’s dance that influence women’s perceptions of dancing ability."
