Being a good dancer is more than a physical strength. The strength that enables you to do dancing moves exactly and keep dancing for a long time is physical, but your ability to express feeling in your dancing is emotional, and your ability to attune to a partner and move along with them is etheric. Let's take it a level at a time:
Physical: bodily strength and coordination.
Etheric: vitality and the ability to attune to other people. Your being prone to colds is an etheric weakness.
Astral: emotional and imaginative capacities. If you are sensitive to art and music, or have a vivid imagination, these are astral strengths. Your poor sense of direction is an astral weakness -- it shows that you have trouble imagining yourself in relation to your surroundings.
Mental: cognitive and intellectual capacities. Your gift for languages is a mental strength; if you have trouble with calculus, that's a mental weakness.
Spiritual: your capacity to reach upward to the Divine, in whatever form you conceive it to be.

Does that help at all?
