I don't know about that - I consider dancers very tough, very much within
the sense we're talking about. No, they're not fighters, but they
definitely have the muscles, physical endurance, resistance to pain, and
mental concentration skills we've been discussing. Not to mention
flexibility!
But then again, I used to dance, and I have some very small idea of what
goes into it as a profession.
