I think I saw a little of this reflected in the "Head Full of Steam" video:

Apparently he taught Prince all his best moves when he visited Brisbane. Or so he said in the NME in the mid-80s.

Yeah, according to the Nichols book, RF would frequently put down his guitar mid-show and let loose with some mighty dancin'...Unfortunately, when I saw the GBs in New Orleans in '89, he didn't bust any moves. It's still a fun picture to contemplate, though.

What I liked when I saw them last year (and which also turns up on the DVD) is the way, at when a faster number kicks off he'll stand center stage, plant one foot firmly like an anchor and then the rest of his body and indeed often the entire rest of the band seem to revolve around that foot. I don't think I'm phrasing it quite correctly, but I hope you get what I mean...

The solo show that he did backed by members of Teenage Fanclub, National Park and Mr 'Future Pilot AKA' himself in Glasgow 2001 was memorable for a version of 'The Circle' which was pure performance art. It involved quite convulated arm movements to emphasise the concept of a circle. And a very straight face too. Genius.
