how to dance without looking like a twat

guys, take note!



Deanne Berry, the video choreographer behind that rude 'Call On Me' video, drops the dancefloor science

Don't be too fancy with your feet unless you know what you're doing. A simple platform is just a foot slide - feet together, then apart, then together, in time.

Most of your movement should be from the shoulders and the hips. good moves include the body roll, a kind of standing-up worm where you stick your head forward, then your chest, then your hips (you can also reverse it) the chest pop where you arch your back and pop your chest, the hair flick for girls and shoulder shake for boys.

If you don't know what you should be doing with your hands, stick them in your pockets or on your hips (although we're not so sure about the hips, though).

just enjoy yourself - it's amazing what you can get away with if you smile. you'll always dance better to a tune that you know. maintain eye contact, enjoy yourself and don't hurt anyone.

finally, ladies with a large chest should avoid boob tubes and get a decent sports bra, and everyone should stay away from backflips!
