Strike a pose and vogue. Moonwalk and body-pop. And now, La Dino.

Originally inspired by a wandering beast in the Marlborough Club, this dance style has evolved from it's R'n'B roots and taken Wiltshire by storm.

Still, the uninformed move to the wall as those gripped by the craze dominate the clubs.

From an observer's viewpoint it seems only weeks of expert choreography and an intense physical regime could achieve moves such as those you're about to learn.

Any song, any place and any time. La Dino is truly adaptable. Learn the basics, experiment and make it your own. Enjoy. La Passion.

Assume posture
Essential to La Dino is the base position. Bend knees. Ensure posterior protrudes excessively. Raise limp-wristed arms to waist level. Gentle swaying as if blown by breeze. This position should also be used when travelling from one area to another--incorporate small and discreet footsteps, maximising swaying of rear.

Getting excited
As the rhythm takes hold and beat begins to throb, it's hard to resist this progression to the next stage. Raise your arms to shoulder height, keeping elbows high and bent inwards. You may want to loosely flap, perhaps up or down, or side to side. Whatever takes your fancy.

Giving it some welly
This is where the fun starts and the flashbulbs flash. As we approach a sensational chorus, with Martini taking hold, it's all systems go. Vicious swaying of the rear commences. This is an effective move on it's own, but to achieve a stunning harmony in La Dino, it should be accompanied by some wild arm experimentation. Remember to maintain correct posture throughout.

Finishing touches

To attract the attention of a fellow La Dino Dancer, the recognised signal is a wild, un-abandoned
flapping of either hand. Note that the rest of your body should be unaffected by this exertion.

You may be wondering what to do with your head. Surveillance is the answer. Graceful pivoting mean piercing looks can be achieved. While your body is in manic action  your head remains firmly screwed on.
