Watch Michelle Obama And Jimmy Fallon Bust A Move In Evolution Of Mom Dancing

The goal of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign isn’t to get people to join organized sports teams or to get them to run on the treadmill, though both of those options work. The goal is to get people (and more specifically kids) to move around in whatever ways they feel most comfortable, and for a certain segment of the population, mom dancing is a hilarious and legitimate way to burn calories.

So, in order to spread the message and have a whole lot of fun, Mrs. Obama appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night for a special video entitled Evolution Of Mom Dancing. Together, she and the host, who was dressed in drag, demonstrated some of the more classic moves in mothering history. Take a look at the hilarity below…

This is why First Ladies usually have higher approval ratings than their husbands. Instead of making world-altering decisions and figuring out budgets, they get to pick one important issue and be an ambassador for it. Luckily for Mrs. Obama, her ambassadorship allows her to do hilarious and fun activities like dancing with Jimmy Fallon.

President Obama might be good at basketball, but there’s no way in hell he’s a better dancer than his wife. She’s clearly very coordinated, and when she’s by herself with the music on, I’m sure she cuts a crazy rug.
