As it was, he was forced to practice his moves, including the feared "Khan't touch this" in the privacy of his family yurt.

One bloodthirsty day as David was happily prancing away in privacy, he noticed an eye, watching him through a hole in his yurt.

Startled, he stumbled out of a cha cha, did an involuntary pirouette in his del and fell through the open doorway onto something warm and furry.

Pushing back his loovus, David was instantly blinded by the sun. As his eyes adjusted he realised "warm and furry" was also long-toothed and angry.

Startled by this realisation, he racked his brains, recalling several dance steps which would aide him against the long-toothed angry, yet "warm and furry" foe.

"STOP!" the hairy beast roared. "We will never defeat the Tanguts with dancing like THAT! It's embarrasing."

David furrowed his brow as the beast performed dance moves that far surpassed his own. "Come!" the beast said, as he walked down the narrow path.

"I will show you how to dance like a god and bring the Tanguts to their knees!" The beast roared while performing a ciseaux.

"You see David?" the beast sneered. "You move like this and sway like that.." David, who had never witnessed such a performance was inclined to try. "Let me warn you though David, These very dance moves were passed down from generations..it may not be so easy." The Yet noted.

The roar turned to a whimper as a mighty blast from a Tangut warhorn rolled down from the hills. David's eyes rolled, "Here we go."

The Beast and his light-footed companion quickened their pace uphill, gritting teeth & batting off arrows with swords mid-air, then landing with a synchronized hip-twist, a strut, a spin, and a thrust.

Thousands of Tanguts break danced down the slopes, some favouring the running man, others the worm, David readied himself for the impending dance off.

Realising his sword was not going to be enough, David turned to the beast and said "Stop! Hammer time!"

David stepped forth, eager to begin his routine when the Beast grasped his arm, "David, there is something you must know" it said quietly.

"If you wish to come out of this battle alive." roared the beast, "We must dance as one, in perfect harmony." David reached out and reluctantly grabbed hold of the beasts hand.

The two soft-shoed heroes jetted their way through the expertly-choreographed hordes, pirouetting around flurries of jazz-hands and dodging the deadly barrages of spirit-fingers.

Tungut-two turned to Tangut-three, "Samba-dee better be ready to cha-cha-cha, the mongols aren't moonwalking out of here."

Before David and The Beast could complete their unified, Electric Boogaloo inspired Twist-o-flex; a mighty rumble shook the very ground they stood upon.

The beast stopped and doubled over in its tracks. David let out a blood curdling scream, "NO! He just got served!"

David whipped into action, busting out high kicks as he sang karaoke style the title song from Xanadu, taking out the Tanguts with each thrust

David put on his ballroom uniform which was very pretty and blinded many Tanguts because it was so bright and shiny.

The Tangut warlord watched in shame from the mountain peak. "It is time to show them who is the true Lord of the Dance."

David felt a shiver run down his spine mid hip-thrust, and fear slowly stilled his prancing feet as he heard, in the distance, the very sounds of death itself: tin whistles and fiddles; the soundtrack from Riverdance.
