Pop star Miley Cyrus has seen off competition from Michael Jackson and Madonna to top a poll of the best dance moves.

The Wrecking Ball star claimed the number one spot in the list of the 10 Best Celebrity Dances, compiled by The London Cabaret Club, thanks to her controversial twerking.

Cyrus saw off competition from Madonna's Vogue dance and Jackson's signature Moonwalk, which came in second and third respectively.

The poll also featured the Gangnam Style routine by South Korean pop star Psy, Kylie Minogue's Locomotion, Beyonce's Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) and the line dance performed by Cyrus' country star father Billy Ray to his hit Achy Breaky Heart.
