The first lady, Michelle Obama, won rave reviews on Saturday for her dancing.
Mrs. Obama joined Jimmy Fallon, the host of NBC’s “Late Night,†on Friday for a video titled “Evolution of Mom Dancing.†Moves executed by Mr. Fallon, in a brown wig, and Mrs. Obama, included the “Pulp Fictionâ€; the “Just the Hands Part of ‘Single Ladies’†and the “Where’s Your Father (Get Him Back Here!).â€
The appearance was “to encourage parents everywhere to get up and get moving with their kids,†according to a description posted with the video, and was linked to a campaign by Mrs. Obama, called “Let’s Move,†which encourages healthy eating and physical activity to figh obesity.
In a subsequent interview, Mrs. Obama said that she tried to embarrass her children on the dance floor “as often as possible.†Her husband, she said, fails to match her moves â€" a sentiment echoed among the praise posted on Twitter. “Michelle Obama can certainly dance better than the president,†said one viewer.
