Is it me or are all the quickest and best athletes good dancers

Kellyb · « **Reply #1 on:** May 10, 2011, 12:47:43 pm »

Being able to completely relax mucle in between bouts of activation is just as important for speed and quickness as force production. I've likened being quick to being more similar to dancing, and most real world bouts of quickness are largely based moreso on timing, rhythm, and movement contrasts then they are absolute speed. You should be able to see the parallels with dancing.

A better question IMO is why are a disproportionate number of highly intelligent people are inherently terrible dancers.

who said asafa powell and usain bolt were quick. They may be fast but i dont think they are quick

quick like jeff teague. They are esplosive which doesn't necessarily mean quick

In terms of agility or straight line speed?.

what?

Because highly intelligent people stay at home in front of the computer or books and read and don't "go out" to dance. Dancing is a matter of body control but it still matters how much time you put into it.

If I'm a nerd I don't go out there to make myself a mockery in front of people "learning to dance". Dancing is for monkeys. Wait, what am I trying to say?

I doubt if becoming a good dancer would help your game. The events are correlative, not causative.

Ok let me put it another way. Why is it that alcohol undboubtedly helps some people dance, - then think about what that has to do with the mind.

LBSS · « **Reply #9 on:** May 11, 2011, 12:02:59 pm »

alcohol helps some people dance because it lowers inhibitions. people who are naturally stiff tend to relax, their movements get freer and they dance better. or at least, perceive that they dance better, because alcohol also skews perception.

so...you're saying that intelligent people are more inhibited than less-intelligent people?

i think this is it.

in sports some people don't think about their movements they just do, for others there's a decision process and they're a step slow...

I think its unconscious vs conscious decision making and smart people tend to be better at the conscious decision making and so do that more often.

That's a good point... makes them "think less". Maybe more right side of the brain into it.

The more you think about movement, the worse it usually gets.

good athletes are good athletes because they practice. good dancers are good dancers because they practice. what the fuck does any of this have to do with intelligence.

if you grew up around with black people you notice that the smarter the person is, in most cases the worse they are as a dancer even if they practice.

it is true that practice has something to do with it, but how can you explain little kids who are naturally just drastically quicker but not neceessarily faster than their friends.

maybe they're naturally more talented, or maybe they spend more time running around and changing direction, so they get better at it. i don't know. probably a mix of talent and practice. just like dancing.

neither has any correlation with "intelligence," whatever the fuck that means. jesus christ.
