Tanya Plibersek on the story behind Bill Shorten's spectacular dad dancing.

Thanks for clearing that up, Tanya.

In case you missed it, there is a video of Opposition Leader Bill Shorten doing some pretty epic dad-dancing floating around on social media.

It turns out, there is actually a lovely explanation…

Our trip to the Pacific got a bit of unexpected attention for the daggy dancing Bill and I were caught doing.

But you need to watch this video to see real dancers of Kiribati:

These kids will blow you away!!!

They learn at home, often from their grandparents, and practise for hours – especially when they have an inter-island competition coming up.

Better than sitting around on an iPad!

When they asked their “special guests” to join them on the dance floor, how could we say no?

Anyway – I told Bill it was good practise for his daughters’ weddings.

Got to prepare for that father of the bride dance….

Do you know a better Dad dancer than Bill Shorten?

Looks like his pockets are full of change and he doesn't want to spill any coins, perhaps he's been signing the kids up for his union.
