No one puts JOE in the corner...
In the aftermath of
Kymann Power's horrific dancing in Ibiza, it was decided he needed some lessons to improve his boogieing.
Considering
myself a groover of Travolta-esque ability, I had compared teaching Kymann to dance with attempting to polish a turd.
We needed superbly talented teachers to show us a few moves, and we got them: Britain's Got Talent semi-finalists the Lords of Strut.
The lads from Cork came decked out in 1980s shell suits, luminous mullets and an avalanche of chest hair, bringing soul, strut and rhythm to the JOE dance studio.
Within minutes, we were all thrusting, gyrating and twerking like our lives depended on it, which begged the question: "How is that happening? Where is the jiggle coming from?"
Kymann quickly graduated from novice to Dance Jesus as he spun round in The Crucifix, a more rudimentary version of the fabled Iron Lotus:

By the end of the session, we were sweating like a quartet of pigs on a tour of a sausage factory - but we had emerged victorious.
The Lords of Strut admitted we had learned some moves, before giving some final tips: smile, give it a lot of heart, and don't fart on the dancefloor.
