Which historical figure would you teach the macarena to?

As in the title, if you were sent back in time and had to teach a particular historical figure (from before 1993!) the macarena?

For reference, that's this thing:

I feel like this is quite a basic choice but I think Henry VIII would have appreciated it!

I'm going to overlook the decision to make 1993 the cut-off for 'historical' :s-smilie:

I'm going to go for Samuel Pepys because I think he'd really get into it. I can totally imagine him strutting his stuff on a dancefloor :biggrin:

I'm going to say- Charles Darwin- I like the thought of him taking some time out from watching finches to do a quick macarena on the Galapagos....

Clearly projecting my age-related crisis there, whoops...

I thought the cutoff was so that somebody would say Margaret Thatcher

To Henry VIII and that way he would 1) actually get some exercise, 2) have something to bond over with his gorgeous Spanish wife to stop the marriage falling apart which would 3) boot Anne Boleyn out the picture once and for all.
