*High-masculine dance moves (ratings of a digital avatar mapped to the men's dance moves) were judged as more attractive by women around ovulation than on other cycle days, whilst no such perceptual difference was found for low-masculine dancers.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470491301100503</ref><br>In layman’s terms, headbanging and head thrusting and stretching the neck back and forth in a rhymic fashion is attractive to women. Puffing out the chest and then back in and then back out is attractive to women (basically twerking but with the chest); flexing the abdominal muscles rhythmically in a wave-like motion is attractive to women.<br>Moving the shoulders back and forth (to move the upper torso) is attractive to women, and thrusting with the pelvis is attractive to women (to move the lower torso). Rhythmically bending the right knee in accordance with the beat is attractive to women.  Also, a faster, more energetic song, will lead to a more attractive male dancer due to the movement being more vigorous.<ref>https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsbl.2010.0619</ref>

*Other studies have found no significant correlation between femininity/masculinity of dance moves among women in particular.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886919302636</ref> This was judged as the ratio of hip movements to shoulder movements in dance, with more hip movements in relation to shoulder movements being more feminine. Indeed, in this study, this metric of dance femininity didn't seem to effectively signal any traits to outside observers, with there not even being any significant correlation between hip/shoulder movement ratio and perceiver rated masculinity/femininity. This study, however, was limited by a low sample of female dancers and other issues such as the artificial environment in which the dance was carried out, which may not reflect how women generally [[lordosis|dance to attract men]].
