I'm a professional choreographer and this is my verdict on famous dad dancers including Prince William, Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake

The first London leg of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour saw celebs galore put on their dancing shoes as the global star's pop circus rolled into town. 

Prince William,taking two of his three children along,Prince George and Prince Charlotte,also brought his best dad dancing with him too. 

Video footage showed the heir to the throne proving that yes sir,he can boogie,as he let loose on a balcony above the stage as Swift belted out her 2014 smash Shake it Off. 

And he's not the only father of a certain age that will happily throw some shapes on the dancefloor - with varying degrees of success. 

Dance school owner Jess Brichto says just one or two one-to-one dance lessons can transform how you feel about dancing in public

Here's her top tips for avoiding dad dancing:

1)  Only dance to the songs you absolutely love 

Jess says: 'Your expression in the music will come out,how you express yourself in the music speaks volumes,and if you're not feeling the tunes,you're not going to be delivering the moves'

2).  Practise - have a kitchen party for one before a big event

Jess says: 'Turn the volume up super loud,feel the beat,feel the music and learn to move your body in a way that feels comfortable and right. Practise what feels right - and when it comes to the big day,you'll know exactly what works for you.

3). Keep it simple - don't try too hard

Jess says: 'The worst dad dancing is when people try and do,for example,a running man,or they fall to the floor and attempt to do a breakdance. Feel the music,make soft movements,over-complicated moves aren't cool'

4).  Don't get into your own head

Jess says: 'The moment you start worrying what you look like,or wondering 'Is everyone looking at me?',it will show on your face. Everyone looks at your face when you're dancing and the best dancers look like they're not trying very hard.'

5). Take one-to-one lessons to help you build confidence

Jess says: 'Book a dance class. There are lots of agencies and dance schools out there just to learn how to dance on a dancefloor by yourself,but part of a crowd. You'll learn how to develop your own moves and your own style - and often it only takes a class or two.'
