Would taking karate or martial arts classes have an affect on dancing skills?
The legendary Sugar Ray Robinson, considered pound for pound the best modern boxer ever, prided himself more on his dancing skills, than his boxing. Indeed; the whole boxing game does ressemble a deadly waltz. Karate won't do anything for your dancing, but, your dancing will do a lot for your Karate. Ray Robinson said, time and again, boxing is about rhythm. He wasn't a Karateka, BUT, Robinson was the best pound for pound fighter, in a time in boxing history when the sport was really dangerous,until the early 80's but even there it has gone largely discarded.And note that Bruce Lee, considered one of the best martial artists of all time, was the Cha Cha champion of Hong Kong in the 1950's. If anything, when you spar for the first time you may find yourself with a bit of an edge.
