President Obama finds time for a dance at event in Kenya

Barack Obama has made headlines during his trip to Kenya for drawing attention to their laws, slammed as homophobic, and asking for a focus on equal rights - but he also found time for a boogie.

At an event at the State House in Nairobi, the US president got up to show off his moves during a performance by afro-pop band Sauti Sol.

Joined by the Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and his wife Margaret, the trio danced along to the band’s popular song “Sura Yako” and did the famous Kenyan Lipala dance.

The group posted a video of the moment on their Instagram page, thanking them for their enthusiastic participation.
