The Prime Minister was mocked when she showed off her jerky dancing skills last week - but the 'Maybot' craze is winning a legion of fans.

More than 5,000 people have liked a Facebook page inviting the public to learn how to dance just like Theresa May.

The post, put up by a lady who runs a tea shop in Aberdeenshire in Scotland, gives the public handy instructions so they can perfect the moves showcased by the PM.

 

 

It states: 'Try dancing like May at home!

'May 1.0 Put your weight on your left food and pivot, slowly swinging your hips and right foot back and forth with your arms bent to in the ‘T-Rex’ pose.

'Start walking forward in a slow, mechanical fashion out of time to the music and with arms still positioned like a dinosaur, but with torso waving like a tree in a mild breeze.'

And it also gives handy tips on how to perfect the other dance which Mrs May showed off while on her tour of Africa last week.

It states: 'May 2.0 Keep both feet planted and swing arms in a jerky motion as if trying to prove to your parents you are sober and can walk in a straight line - but without moving either foot.

 

 

'Return to May 1.0 (left foot planted, bizarre hip/right foot swivel) but with the addition of a creepy smile and gaze into the middle distance.

'Repeat steps one and two, but intersperse with occasionally giving up, putting your hands on your thighs and laughing maniacally like you’ve stumbled across a cracking cookbook sale.'

The event is being held at Yvi's House Of Tea in Aberdeenshire in November, and so far 5,126 people have liked the Facebook post.

Mrs May was mocked after videos of her emerged awkwardly dancing with children twice while she visited Africa on her three-day Brexit charm offensive last week.

On the first occasion, in South Africa, she joined in a circle of school children dancing - awkwardly twisting her body to the side.

The second time, in Kenya, she copied some moves by a group of scouts who she was visiting - and shimmied her body around in a jerky circle.

Twitter users compared her jerky movements to Peter Crouch's 'robot' goal victory dance.

But the PM - whose favourite song is Dancing Queen by Abba - laughed off the criticisms and said: 'I suspect my dancing this morning might not make it on to Strictly.'

And other viewers of the videos said it was nice to see the PM - who is known for being awkward and stiff in her demeanour - show her lighter, human side.
