Michelle Obama shows the world she can funk it with the best of them at the Ellen Degeneres Show. The First Lady led an "Uptown Funk" dance party with the talk show host, showcasing a fun and easygoing side to her as well as her commitment to health and fitness - and really cool dance moves!
Michelle Obama and Ellen Degeneres were promoting the fifth anniversary of the First Lady's health and fitness campaign that's dubbed "Let's Move!" Part of the campaign is the #GiveMeFive challenge on social media, where people will be sharing five ways that they are leading a healthy lifestyle. Everyone is encouraged to participate and among those who are leading the way are celebrities such as Beyonce, Ryan Seacrest and Hugh Jackman who have already taken part by posting videos showing their workout routines.
Michelle also announced that this year's White House Easter Egg Roll will be featuring the So You Think You Can Dance All-Stars who will be teaching the dance moves to "Uptown Funk." To get everyone pumped up for the event, Michelle Obama challenged Ellen Degeneres to learn the dance. The two clearly enjoy a competitive rapport and after a bit of light-hearted trash talk, both women took to the center of the stage with the All-Stars and showcased the choreography to the much-awaited "Uptown Funk" dance.
In her excitement, the First Lady accidentally dropped her mic at the beginning of the routine but it was all smooth sailing after that for Michelle Obama and Ellen Degeneres. Flanked by the best and brightest of the television dance circuit, the pair has clearly been practicing their moves for this moment. By the time the dance wrapped up, you can almost mistake Michelle Obama and Ellen Degeneres as part of the So You Think You Can Dance crew.
