Researcher Nick Neave said: "Good dancers made big and small movements." Variability shows creativity. "They did a little head nod with a big body twist and a big head movement and a small body twist." It is thought that such twists and turns of the neck and torso are attractive because they signal a strong, healthy and flexible body.

研究人員尼克-尼夫說：“好的舞者動作有大有小。”舞蹈動作的多變顯示出一個人的創造力。“他們輕輕點頭，同時身體大幅度轉動，然后頭部動作幅度加大，身體小幅扭動。”女人們認為脖頸和身軀的轉動和扭轉代表著身體強壯、健康和具有柔韌性，故而具有吸引力。

Those flagging on the floor find it hard to do such moves for any length of time and so often resort to exaggerated swings and flings of their arms and legs. These, however, do nothing to attract women – with the exception of the right knee. Flicked in and out and twisted from side to side at speed, a nifty knee apparently catches a lady's eye. This is the first study to show objectively what differentiates a good dancer from a bad one.

而那些舞池中的失意者們覺得這種舞蹈動作難以實現，于是求助于夸張的搖擺和甩胳膊甩腿。然而這些對于吸引女人來說毫無用處——除了右膝蓋。向里向外快速移動膝蓋以及快速轉動膝蓋，只要做得漂亮利落，你足以獲得女士的青睞。該項研究首次分析了是什么導致了舞蹈好壞之分。
