The only time I've ever heard that dance mentioned with regards to the Army GOS it involved a tin of boot polish and a lighter??? 
Actually cherubs the dance itself is quite regimental in that different units used different methods to achieve the same end(
) because my unit was a technical branch we employed a more refined dance than the grunts in the infantry. The preferred method was to disrobe from the waist down, insert a couple of rolled up newspaper sheets between the cheeks of one's bottom, we preferred one of the broadsheets, i.e The Telegraph.( A better burn) Jenkins once used the Sun in full view of the mess and invited guests, he was drummed out of the regiment course. The last we heard was that he was doing missionary work in the East ( of London that is). But I digress, the dancer would the mount the podium and set light to the paper and dance using a lots of Shakira type hip movements. It was a regimental tradition to allow audience participation which involved aiming and squeezing jets of lighter fluid from small rubber lighter refill petrol tubes in the direction of the newspaper. The longer and the more frenzied the dancer and the dance increased the dancers street cred. Extra brownie points were award for the number and variation of howls of pain
This tradition like a lot of military traditions lost favour over time when a number of drinking establishments were burnt down due to the younger element of the audience finding out that using cans of lighter fuel was much more fun. The other methods described by your dear readers are still in use amongst the cavalry units who have access to large amounts of polish.
