Start yelling things like..."No! No! Not that close...you'll burn my....Ahhhh!" Do it to well choreographed stuff so it makes sense to those watching as well.
You can also do the BellyDance trills (sounds much like when Xena did it) and things like that at high places in the routine.
Or if you really want to make it interesting, say things like...."Move your staff that way so I can slide in here this way" "No that won't work, your balls get in my way!" Literally, make an audible joke out of all your choreography, make it as dirty as you like, but within legal limits for the radio station!

You people have never heard of the Gong Show? Well, maybe you're too young. It was a show on in the late 70's early 80's where people would come on and do stupid stuff, or just perform. There was a panel of celebrity judges who would watch the act and then judge it by numerical rating, unless they thought you really sucked at which point they would bang this huge gong, defile your act and send you packing off the stage in shame. It was pretty funny what stupid stuff people would do, and even funnier when they were gonged for doing it!
What's 'Red Face' B-T-O, other than me after an active day outside?
