There comes a time in every dancer’s life, when the people clamor to see the hokey pokey. When that time comes, do not go gentle into that good night. Summon up the most adorable part of yourself, and, with both palms open, bring the people the gotdamm hokey pokey.

Tristan MacManus makes the sacrifice. Put your right foot in.

Motion capture. Kym Johnson and Tristan MacManus.

So, there’s an online game Dancing with the Stars Keep Dancing, which employed Kym and Tristan as choreographers and models, and Yahoo has some very cool footage of their work.

Can you pick Tristan in the game? I don’t see him listed as a pro dancer option on the site. They did include the divine Pasha Kovalev though. Nice one, game.
