Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer did his best salsa dance during his premiere on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” on Monday night — and was then promptly skewered by the show’s judges for his stilted performance.

“You were off beat most of the dance,” Bruno Tonioli, one of the judges, said after the performance.

Spicer, wearing a neon green pirate-like shirt, kicked off the routine by drumming on a pair of bongos while the house band played the Spice Girls’ hit “Spice Up Your Life.”

Spicer then attempted to spin and twirl his expert partner in rhythm and shimmy along to the beat in coordinated moves.

The number ended with the former flack sliding about 5 feet down the center of the floor on his knees.

The judges, who credited Spicer with bringing fun and energy to the dance floor, nonetheless said his routine got off on the wrong foot immediately.

“He was going bonkers with the bongos!” Tonioli said. “What were you doing up there? It was like you were being attacked by a swarm of wasps.”

Spicer and his partner, Lindsay Arnold, got a consistent score of four from all three judges, adding to a total of 12 out of a possible 30.

Viewers who tuned in at home were similarly harsh on Spicer.

“Sean Spicer is basically wearing the Puffy Shirt from Seinfeld,” Twitter user James Hasson wrote.

“Sean Spicer looks like a car dealership inflatable guy,” another Twitter user added.
