Apparently, dads start looking like SCHMUCKS on the dance floor even earlier than we thought.

Yep, seems a new survey has found that “dad dancing” officially starts at age 37.

Researchers also say your dad’s dancing starts to embarrass you at around age 13, and continues to embarrass you for the next 17 years–until, at around age 30, you stop being embarrassed by it, and start to find it endearing.

A third of people say their dad THINKS he’s a really good dancer…and 37% have been embarrassed by their dad’s moves.  And 30% think he’s danced badly on PURPOSE, just TO embarrass them.

But also, according to the survey, dancing is only the FOURTH most-embarrassing thing dads do.  The top three are telling bad jokes…dressing with no style…..and stinking up the BATHROOM.

[Editor’s note:  Not to mention, of course, dancing WHILE stinking up the bathroom.]
