United States President Barack Obama has made headlines for unexpectedly crooning a song or two in public since coming to the White House. Now he can add dancing the tango to his list of hidden talents.
At the end of a state dinner in Buenos Aires with Argentine President Mauricio Macri on Wednesday, Obama and his wife, Michelle, were pulled abruptly onto the dance floor by a pair of Latin dancers providing the entertainment.
At first, the woman in the shimmering gold dress seemed content to twirl with her partner, but then she made a beeline for the president and beckoned him to the floor.
At first, Obama declined her invitation several times, but she wasn't to be deterred and she soon had him sashaying across the floor. It was unclear if the president had been having lessons. Michelle, meanwhile tangoed with the male dancer nearby.
However, the dance hasn’t gone down too well with both liberal and conservatives complaining about the timing as Brussels still reels from the terror attacks.
