My mother taught Scottish country dancing, so I learned it from an early age - probably the best time to learn anything when your brain has plenty of cells left to make all those connections to do the moves correctly!And once you've got the basics, it's easier to learn new dances.
It certainly paid dividends when, much later, I came to play for dancing: dance speeds are ingrained in me, not necessarily as metronome numbers but as just how the dance should go. I either do a few steps in my head, or actually under my keyboard before starting to play. The dance experience also helps with "count-ins" or playing intros.
