A Hilariously Descriptive Step-by-Step Tutorial Showing How to Dance to the Soft Cell Cover of ‘Tainted Love’

Standup comedian Joe Kwaczala gives a hilarious step-by-step tutorial showing how to dance to the 1981 Soft Cell cover of “Tainted Love”. While doing so, Kwaczala offers very funny descriptions of each step as he demonstrates it, poking gentle fun at how seriously choreography sometimes takes itself.

Today’s dance tutorial is going to be the classic ’80s song “Tainted Love” by the band Soft Cell. Now, as requested, yes, this is going to be the official dance from the music video that they did all those years ago. So I think you guys are going to find this one to be pretty familiar, and as always, as I’m dancing, I’m going to be calling out the instructions for the dance, so you guys can dance along right with me.

This video was part of Kwaczala’s successful effort to film 31 videos on his 31st birthday.

I will be releasing 31 videos today- something I decided to do when I turned 31 in May. Most are comedy, but some are not! Lots of different types of stuff, all made without a budget but with the help of many wonderful people. Gonna post them in this thread throughout the day. pic.twitter.com/roA7dgXwP2
