Are roosters that dance better than roosters that don't?

They certaintly do, the 2 cockerels are almost sbout 6 months
Both birds will change behaviors. The wing cutting dance is more what call a display of aggression. The target can be submissive and run, submissive and cut back behind the rooster, or square off for fight. The tid-bitting behavior where food items are advertised (sometimes falsely) is done to attract a potential mate or provide genuine sustenance. Later is for hens the rooster has already been mating with rooster and immature birds the rooster is likely to consider his offspring.
 
My cockerel (six months old) tidbits and will even take treats from my hand and pass them on to one of the girls. I have never seem him dance. When he mates, he just sort of pounces on one of them -- not roughly at all! -- and then walks away after. They don't seem to mind his technique.
