*starts humming Dogtanian music* I like your lunges. It reminds me of all those martial arts and fighting things where they tell you to remain on the balls of your feet and almost dance around people and stay on the move. Wait. Or was that just my ballet class? hmm...

Dancing and fencing have a lot in common - the paso doble (double pass) was originally a fencing move. Apparently in wealthy households in the 18th century the fencing master would also double up as a dance instructor.
