Consistent with this week's FSF pick, this sounds like something John Cleese might have said in an old Monty Python routine
"Being a more confident dancer can help you catch the eye of prospective dates and add a little sparkle to an evening out so we are calling on men throughout the nation to rid themselves of their dancing fears this Valentine's Day and hit the dancefloor."
In reality, that was Georgina Harper, Creative Director of Britain's "dance event" MOVE IT. I never realized dance-phobia was so common among men. And while it's obvious that women like guys who know their way around a dance floor, MOVE IT has commissioned a study that finds "women would be more likely to continue dating a bad kisser who could dance, than a bad dancer who could kiss and that more women rated being able to dance well above being able to kiss well when asked about the skills they most rated in a prospective partner." Maybe it's a British thing....that doesn't ring true for me. In any event, this article is worth reading for the strange phrase-ology that is used (e.g. "the role of dancing in the dating scenario"), as well as the research findings (women prefer dinner and dancing to bowling - who knew?). Happy Valentine's Day all!
