What your dancing says about you

After chugging some bargain booze and downing one too many shots of vodka we all like to take to the dance floor believing our moves make us look cool and attractive.

In reality we’re the ugly duckling who likes to think they’re in Swan Lake and we’re only one drink away from stumbling home and having a tactical chunder en-route.

So while our intoxicated minds are certain our dancing would score a solid 10/10, what message are we actually sending?

On your phone
