Channing Tatum has recently revealed that he learned to dance from his girlfriends' moms around Tampa, Florida.

The 34-year-old actor said that he wanted to dance but knew nothing about it and neither did the girls he was seeing but their moms did, so he figured out the fastest way to learn to dance was to grab up some abuela and get her moving on the porch, Celebuzz reported.

After moving to Los Angeles the 'Magic Mike' star mostly learned to dance by hanging out in clubs and grinding on girls.

Tatum mentioned that after he stopped taking martial arts lessons dancing became an outlet for him to keep busy and because of the martial arts he was able to learn to appreciate repetition, which made him a good dancer and actor.

The '22 Jump Street' artist revealed that ADHD also helped push him to become a dancer.
