In Romania, police officers have started taking ballet classes. “The aim is to develop an ability to regulate traffic and achieve elegance in their movements, which will not only be agreeable to the eyes but could also help drivers waiting at a red light get rid of their stress or sadness,” the head of the community police in the town of Timisoara, Dorel Cojan, told AFP.

The thing that I find interesting however, is that they don’t seem to address the idea that the dancing will make the officers less stressed..which seems like a pretty relevant part of the experiment and perhaps more important than reducing the stress of those behind the wheel.
