Let's Dance

You may recall that foot ball story.  The one that tells of high school or college level players being sent to ballet class  over the spring and summer.  The players performed much better than the last year. I don't know if any coach has had the  
courage to repeat this as an experiment.

 
Now, consider the martial arts.  One might prefer the sort that discourages and disarms.  These various practices often have  exercises  which employ repetitive body motions.  The exercises like any such exercises create muscle memory.  It programs into the system a sense of the body's place in space time. This has a masculine air to it.  Ballet does not.

 
Now let us all humm the grande pas de deux   from Swan Lake.
