• According to research undertaken at Northumbria University, women are good dancers because of… their hips.
• During the study, scientists recorded women dancing to a drum beat, then rendered their movements as 39 computer avatars without physical features to produce 15-second clips, which were then rated by 200 people.
• Results showed that higher scores were received by dancers with greater hip swing, more asymmetric thigh movements and intermediate arm movements.

• Results of the study have been published in the Scientific Reports Journal.
