Joe Jonas taking dancing lessons for tour

Joe Jonas has ensured his moves will be perfect when he joins Britney Spears on tour in Europe - he's been having secret dance lessons for more than a year.

The Jonas Brothers star is gearing up to release his first solo album, Fast Life, later this year (11), and he's signed up to support Spears on her Femme Fatale trek to promote the record.

Jonas is eager to show off his fancy footwork after more than 12 months of preparation, and has promised fans they can expect plenty of dance moves during his set.

He tells MTV.com, "It was a little bit difficult in the beginning to feel comfortable with it. I've been rehearsing for a little over a year with Marty, who's a choreographer I work with, and he's made me feel a lot more comfortable onstage, a lot more comfortable in my own skin, which made the whole process 100 per cent better."
