More evidence of symmetry in attraction

Researchers have found in the past that symmetrical traits are evidence of good health, and therefore both humans and other animals have a preference for symmetry when choosing potential mates. Now they have found evidence that symmetry is also important in dance, with more symmetrical bodies capable of better dancing, which in turn makes them more attractive.

Interesting theory, and I think it holds true in the a"real world", I'm not sure sure if it has any effect in pictorial images of beauty though. I've found that symmetry is not important in paintings when trying to create images of beautiful figures...
