Hi All
I found this at the BBC:
Ballroom and Latin dancing classes can improve pupils' behaviour as well as their fitness, research suggests.
Dancing the cha-cha-cha, quick step or waltz in PE also helps shy children gain self-esteem and less sporty pupils get involved, the report said.
The study of 2,500 children on the Essentially Dance scheme in England said it had the potential to make a "huge impact on children's learning".
It was created partly by dancers from BBC TV's Strictly Come Dancing show.
One of them, Darren Bennett, said: "It has always been our dream that every young person should have the opportunity to learn Ballroom and Latin American dancing and finally this is being realised through Essentially Dance.
"It is exciting to see how successful it has become and we are looking forward to seeing the long term results."

Nice!
