I am serious. As his weight goes up and his body towards its natural physical peak, I believe it is very necessary for Yao to get some training of Dancing so that he can increase his fexlibility and rythem. Some fact about big man receive dancing training:
1) Derk of Maves. His 7-foot frame does not look like it because every offseason he receives some dancing training to improve his flexibility.
2) Shaq. Did you guys ever see that commerical where Shaq was dancing with great rythem and dexibility? Shaq did receive such training.
3) Traditionally Chinese male BB players receive zero training in Dancing. Even their female team just had the first dancing coach since last year.
4) With Rox's money and the great expectation from Yao, I strongly argue for Yao to receive some training in dancing!
What do you guys think?

there is something there.
Shaq credits his agility (for a 360 lbs body) to his break-dancing skills. he was a break-dancer from his pre-teen to college days.
kareem abdul jabbar, at 7ft 2, was probably the most nimble center is the history of the NBA. to improve balance / cordination / flexiblility, he used to jump ropes and roller blade quite a bit; as well as practicing martial arts.

Many football players do ballet or learn to play soccer to learn to move when heavy.

I love dancing too! But yeah, cross-training is great in any sport. It all comes down to learning how to use your body.
