Affectionately known as 'Dad Dancing', the individual will pull out all the classic moves in an attempt to impress the sometimes curious, always confused crowds.
Often performed while frantically wrapping a tie around their forehead, the dancer will attempt The Robot, The Worm and the failsafe Clap and Spin before shakily making their way to the side of the floor for a much-needed sit down.
But as this YouTube hit indicates. sometimes you don't need gathered family members, a wedding ceremony or a dance floor to nail the classic Dad Dance.
Just take a look at this pro.
What a man!
