A MUM has left people in hysterics after showing the different types of dancing many “older mothers” are guilty of at the club.
Therese insisted “we all do it” as she demonstrated the moves, kicking off with “the side step”.
In that move, she moved gently from side to side, moving one foot to the other while slowly moving her arms too.
With “the clap”, she did the same leg movements as the side step, but added in a regular clap with her hands.
And last on the list was “the jump”.
For that one, Therese put one arm – with her hand in a fist – into the air and jumped up and down in time with the music.
“Let’s be honest we all do it!” she wrote in the caption of the TikTok video.
People were quick to comment on the video, with many insisting Therese’s demonstration was more than accurate.
“Lol so true, but I genuinely don’t know any other way to dance,” one admitted.
“I’m 45 and I approve,” another added.
“But that’s how you are supposed to dance to that piece of music!” a third insisted.
“So true!” someone else wrote.
“We are the original ravers….kids have zero clue…at least she doesn’t have a phone in her hand,” another laughed.
“I skip the build up and just go for it like I’m still in my 20s, then half way through remember I’m in my 50s,” someone else said.
While another said: “I’m 28 and dance like this!”
“Oh god.I will never dance again now. This is me,” someone else admitted.
“It’s like looking in a mirror haha,” another giggled.
Of course, while Therese’s video hit a nerve with many mums, it’s arguably dad dancing that’s more famous.
There’s even an entry in the Cambridge English Dictionary for it, and it reads: “Dancing to pop music by older men, in a style that people think is funny or embarrassing.”
According to a recent study, dads start “dad dancing” at the age of 37.
The research also identified Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees and Hot Chocolate’s You Sexy Thing as the two songs most likely to spark a dad dancing outbreak.
