This beat is…tectonic

We think we have it pretty easy in the year 2008. Back in ye bad olde days, dancing was a highly complex affair, involving various twirls, spins, and trying desperately to avoid stamping on your partner's toes. Fast forward a hundred years or so and anything can pass for 'dancing' – from shuffling aimlessly side to side whilst nodding your head, to simply pogo-ing up and down on the spot whilst whooping enthusiastically. There are no rules, no one has tried to invent any set steps, and even the worst dancer in the world can fade into the background in the dark confines of your average nightclub. However, somewhere along the line, some ker-azy French kids have decided to invent some new dance rules - 'le tectonic'. It's hard to describe exactly what this involves, but if we're totally honest, it looks a bit like how Napoleon Dynamite would dance if you sprinkled speed on his cornflakes. Get practising, this is coming to a dancefloor near you soon…
