Jagger may have said his mother taught him how to dance but lord I think I knew what he meant!
Tina Turner:
“Mick Jagger showed up at the dressing room I shared with our dancers and said in his unmistakable voice: ‘I like how you girls dance.’
“Well, we had seen him strutting on stage with his tambourine and thought he looked a little awkward.
“So we pulled him in and taught him how to do the Pony, our signature prancing footwork.
“Mick caught on fast but found it difficult to do certain steps. He obviously kept practising as when we watched him doing a little bit of the Pony during his next show, we thought: ‘Well, that’s good.’
“Not that he ever gave us credit for his new fancy footwork. To this day, Mick likes to say: ‘My mother taught me how to dance.’
“OK fine – but I know better.”
