The First Couple's First Dance

January 21, 2013

(Warning: This post isn’t all that dance-y. But it does involve a little dance, and a lot of adorableness.)

However you feel about politics, it’s hard not to love first couple Barack and Michelle Obama.

Last night, at the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball following the inauguration, the pair took the stage—just the two of them—to dance as Jennifer Hudson crooned “Let’s Stay Together,” which is apparently one of our President’s favorite songs.

There was no fancy footwork, no Dougie-ing or “Gangnam Style”-ing. But it didn’t matter. They looked so natural and happy, step-touching along, singing the lyrics to each other, laughing at little inside jokes. It was like the wedding first dance every couple hopes to have—except, you know, in front of a televised audience of millions.

(Also, Michelle’s Jason Wu dress was gorgeous. You know how she does.)

Anyway, in case you missed all that cuteness, here’s the video. Enjoy!
