    Forget ballet, hip-hop, contemporary and swing – there are only two real types of dancing: professional and amateur. Think back to all of those times in the club, pub or, on occasion, the work place when someone whips out their best, idiot savant moves. Whether or not it's stylistically good or in time is irrelevant; you're either too drunk anyway, or about to puke from giggling so much.

    Australian dance company, Lucy Guerin Inc, taps that primal urge to groove in their new piece, Untrained, which pits two highly skilled dancers against two blokes who are anything but Mr Astaire. All four performers carry out the same movements, from the abstract through to the mundane, and do their best to show that sometimes a sloppy box step can be as entertaining as an angelic pirouette.
