Thanks to some graceful queens comfortable not only in their masculinity but also in a towering heel, more men are strutting in stilettos.

But before the dance floor is littered with broken backs and twisted ankles, allow me, your Internet mother, to teach you what your real mother never did: namely how to dance in high heels like a man. (With some help from Yanis Marshall, Kazaky and choreographer Brian Friedman)

Before you can dance, you gotta walk. I say this with what passes as love for me, but you need to get your stomp right before even thinking of turning anything let alone it. If you're in need of inspiration, try any of these iconic struts.

Once you've got the walk down pat, let's get those hips limber.

And now just throw that leg over your head. Don't act like this is your first time.

Use a bar for support, if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask some friends to lend a helping hand.

Now that we're all stretched, let's start with the most basic move: drop down and get your eagle on!

Sway those hips side to side. And if can get Madonna to join you, so much the better.

Since we're down here, let's pop that booty like a champagne cork because Cristal ain't got nothing on you.

Okay, pack your bags because we're going on a journey down to the floor.

Once you hit bottom, bounce back up and plant those heels into the ground. It's Arbor Day and those gams are your mighty oaks.

Now let's whip it around. When going airborne, remember to land squarely on the balls of your feet. Especially if you don't want to end up landing on some other balls.

Let's strike a quick pose 'cause we're cute and everyone's a hater.

Do this like a pro, player.

Snake it up.

And we're walking it out again. If you hadn't noticed, dancing in heels is about 43% walking, 36% bending and 100% stripper moves.

See what I mean. Well, I hope this little tutorial will help you Ginger Rogers your way to dance stardom, but just remember to have fun out there.

Not too much fun, though. Even Queen Bey knows when to tone it down a bit. I'm kidding, no she doesn't.
