According to researchers social dancing provides the body with many health benefits. It may help reduce stress, increase energy, and improve strength, muscle tone, and co-ordination. One of dancing’s kinds is Ballroom Dancing.

Ballroom dancing is a partner dance and in most situations involves a man dancing with a woman. This isn’t always the case but this article concerns itself with the simple question of whether ballroom dancing makes a man more attractive to women.

First off it has to be said that dancing suffers from a shortage of willing male participants. This alone will make a man more attractive to a woman if the woman is either a dancer or wants to learn to dance. Indeed the author and his good lady met through dancing and romance blossomed although romance need not always be in the air! So for practical reasons alone a man will become more attractive or at least will make himself into a commodity in demand should he decide to become a ballroom dancer.

Secondly, it is often noted that women are attracted to confident men. Ballroom dancing demands that a man be confident and in control after all it’s a man’s job to lead the dance and ensure he makes his lady look nothing less than fabulous on the dance floor. Again this act will indeed make a man who ballroom dances more attractive to women.

Another reason why a man may well become more attractive to a women if he ballroom dances is the ‘look’ of ballroom dancing. Admittedly not all woman prefer their men to be groomed and polished but even the more rough and ready man, not unlike the author, can ‘scrub up’ when the occasion demands and this can often have a remarkable effect on the fairer sex. Indeed looking smart may well be one of the main reasons why ballroom dancing makes a man more attractive to women.

A quick scan of dance partner websites or a conversation with companies who run dance holidays will confirm that in the dance world men are in demand. In my mind there is no doubt ballroom dancing does make a man more attractive to women. Happy dancing.
