     Clearly this is true, since the vast majority of
musicians, both in rock bands and symphony orchestras,
are women, and women, in general, completely dominate
the music industry.
<sarcasm off>

     Now let's get to the truth of the matter--any
advantage women have in dancing comes from their being
shunted off to dance class at an early age, while the
boys were playing sports and/or running around in the
woods with toy guns pretending to be on army patrol.
The idea that women somehow "have more of an inherent
musicality in their bodies" than men is patent nonsense.
