A dance is a type of body movement, often to the rhythm of music. As with any other types of performing arts, it takes a certain level of craft, skills and talent to demonstrate, and hard-earned experience to master it. But when done well, dancers attract audiences like bees are to honey.

As much as we want to be one, our limbs and body coordination, admittedly, aren't the most synchronised or artful in any manner. But recently, we had our share of fun and frolic on the dance floor - with the help of driving instructors and a trio of 'dancers' from BMW - the 2 Series Coupe, the 4 Series Gran Coupe and the X5 M50d.

Our stage - an icy plain roughly the size of a football field situated at the spanking new, first-of-its-kind BMW Driving Centre in Incheon, Korea.

The 2 Series Coupe was up first. Even in sub-zero degree temperatures during Incheon's Winter, the compact two-door sports car is as hot as your Salsa partner. Clearly one of the most petite dancers at the school, it makes up for its lack of sheer presence with its sizzling performance, while sporting sexy curves at the right spots.

Its dainty figure helps it change direction with finger-snapping swiftness on the icy dance floor, entertaining the driver and bystanders alike. But like most pretty ladies, the coupe can be a trick to handle at times, no thanks to its rear-wheel drive setup and a relatively shorter wheelbase.

To point it at the right place, you need to maintain a high level of coordination by balancing the slightest 'hip' movement with steering and throttle inputs. And with the slightest misjudgement, it can easily land into a ditch, stuck, and render any correction methods useless - like a slap on the cheek when you carelessly step on your partner's foot.

We had better luck with the 4 Series Gran Coupe (let's call it 4GC for short), which was literally 'floating on ice' with its graceful, angelic moves - very much like a Ballet dancer.

Unlike the 2 Series Coupe, which requires more vigorous inputs from the driver, the 4GC glides around the icy plain calmly and effortlessly, with an elegant demeanour that matches perfectly to its stylish yet polished fastback design. 

For that, we have to credit the 4GC's xDrive all-wheel drive system. The smart tech trickery sends power to all four wheels, but is rear-biased for more dynamic handling. This helps it to power slide smoothly and fluently - like how Ballet dancers stand en pointe (or tiptoe) without the slightest cringe on their faces.Lastly, we had a go with the muscular X5 M50d, which we think shares very similar traits with Break Dancers. Modern; full of drive and energy; standing stout yet light on its feet: You can't help but be amazed by how the sporty SUV displays eye-popping, physics-defying finesse on the field. 

To do so, the robust X5 M50d has 381 horses to pull it through the most challenging of moves. What's more relevant here is 740Nm of ice-crushing force from its tri-turbo diesel engine. Like the 4GC, the X5 gets the xDrive system to help put down the power where it is needed the most, and ensures that it doesn't miss a beat. 

Mustering more might than its lesser counterparts, it is easy to tell that the X5 M50d is more eager and willing to perform on the slushy ice. While short of doing 'Hand Hops' and 'Head Spins', the tank of a car 'Moon Walked' across the icy plain with strength and dexterity not seen in any others on the field. 

All that is said and done, there are a number of dancers that we missed out - particularly the M duo (M3 and M4) and the MINIs (including the JCWs). We had absolutely no doubts about these cars' abilities to steal the limelight on any occasion, especially with their good looks, athletic build and beefy performance.

But what got us more curious was a petite hatchback seated quietly (quite literally) at the corner of the backstage - the i3. Unlike others, the i3 has a lightweight carbon fibre body, an all-electric drivetrain (think instant, maximum torque) and a low centre of gravity (thanks to its flat-packed batteries), which are essential attributes of a perfect dancer. Coupled with its revolutionary design, it could very well have taken the stage by storm like Korea's Gangnam Style.
