Premier Perrottet shows of his dance moves on the campaign trail

Every election campaign has its iconic cringe moments — and Dominic Perrottet may have just had his.

Politicians are expected to cut ribbons and kiss babies on the road, but instead the Premier has busted out his best Macarena dance moves to an audience of enthralled seniors.

Restricted to his seat, Mr Perrottet did his best to follow the beat, but couldn’t keep up with his older dancing partners — who were clearly well versed in the choreography.

To be fair to Mr Perrottet, the choice of We Are Family by Sister Sledge isn’t the classic Macarena song.

Chris Minns is yet to have his cringe moment, however things looked close when he pulled out his guitar on Kyle and Jackie O on Tuesday.

Listeners were on edge for another ScoMo April Sun in Cuba moment, however the Opposition Leader proved he knew his way around an AC/DC tune.

However, there’s plenty of time for both leaders to embarrass themselves, though, with 15 days left until the election.

The Premier and Minister for Multiculturalism and Seniors Mark Coure were visiting the 3Bridges Carss Park Community Centre to woo older voters with extra protections against scams.

If re-elected the Liberal government will give a $2 million boost to the Tech Savvy Seniors Program to educate seniors on digital scams.

The program also trains Service NSW staff in how to interact with older customers.
