>Dancing is physically close, intimate, other-person-way-closer-than-your-regular-comfort-zone by nature. Add to that that eye contact, again inherently intimate, is crucial for coordinating any nuanced moves and you'd be hard pressed to find anything other than the above result. Also puts in new perspective the early 20th century attitudes towards Jazz, Rock N Roll, dancing, flappers, etc. There is anecdote that Sayyid Qutb really turned away from modernity and towards Islamism when he witnessed a Church in Colorado (he was at UC Boulder) that held a mixed dance in one of the Church buildings.
