It’s not every day the First Lady of the United States is seen dancing to Beyoncé, but Michelle Obama made a surprise visit to the Alice Deal Middle School in Washington yesterday as part of her Let’s Move! campaign to curb childhood obesity.

“Beyoncé is one of my favourite performers on the planet. And when she agreed to remake her video and do this ‘Let’s Move’ flash workout, I was so excited, because this is what we’ve been talking about – that exercise and moving can be fun,” Mrs Obama said,

“It’s about dancing, it’s about moving.” Mrs Obama had not planned to dance so as “not to embarrass” herself, but could not resist joining in.

The video, called ‘Let’s Move Flash Workout’, to Beyonce’s ‘Move Your Body’ song aims to get children moving to try to curb childhood obesity.
