Do The Hastings Direct!

A new dance craze is sweeping the nation. Soon everyone will forget the macarena, stop walking the dinosaur and never again shall the timewarp darken our bodily movements. For, quite literally, this dance will wipe the dancefloor with them. You've seen it on the telly, you know the jingle, now do the Hastings Direct:

(Please note, this was recorded on my new digital camera, which I haven't quite figured out how to use just yet. So that is why it is sideways. If anyone knows how to make it the right way up, I will gladly listen to their advice)

As you can see, the dance consists of three essential moves:

1. The Bob - Bend your knees outward with your arms outstretched, creating a bobbing motion.

2. The Shoulder Shuffle - Arms by your side and leaning slightly to your left, raise and lower your shoulders alternately, one after another

3. The Leg Jig Finalé - Flail your legs out to the side, keeping one leg bent and one leg straight. Use your arms to keep balance, you wouldn't want to ruin the finalé by falling over now, would you? Repeat steps 1 to three, chanting the line 'oh-eight-hundred-double-oh-ten-sixty-six.'

And remember, when dancing always keep a big ol' smile! Now get those dance shoes you little scamps, and boogie the night away!
