Anonymous said: I took Argentine Tango for awhile and appeared to really mess up my hard earned posture and movement for ballroom tango.

Could more people comment on this? Will Argentine Tango ruin the posture? Or can one separate the postures?

I too, have been in martial arts most of my life. I noticed the ability to adapt to certain positions much easier than other people as well. I base my theory off the martial artist's ability to maintain balance, mind body coordination and one leg strength. By that I mean a martial artist is more apt to be able to stand on one leg while moving the other around than a normal person. This makes the transition much smoother for me.

I must agree with the others on the educated person(s) answers.

Al. In our final of Dancing with the Stars. We have the former undisputed World Light Weight Boxing Champion
Kostya Tszu. For somebody who never danced before he is quite remarkable and deserves to be in the final. There is no Salsa but his teacher is the Luda Kroitor current World Salsa Champion. If there ia a world title for skipping he would be there also. From this I would say that any sport which has quick thinking and fast footwork does help. These dancers have performed all the Latin and Modern Dances 10 all told. And for the very first time one American Smooth Dance thrown in. I'll mention the Kostya skipping again. I was dumbstuck with what he did with a rope.

My theory is ballroom dancing attracts the musically inclined. And the mathematically inclined seem to be musically inclined as well.

I also believe (with no supporting evidence) that the artistically inclined (as in painting and drawing) tend not to be musically inclined. In fact I have never known anyone to be really talented in music and talented in the graphic arts. This may only be a consequence of my very limited experience
