Michelle Obama put on her dancing shoes and boogied away with kids she surprised at a Colorado children's hospital on Thursday afternoon.
The former First Lady, 54, spread holiday cheer with a surprise visit to Children's Hospital Colorado where she was joined by Santa Claus and read out the holiday classic The Night Before Christmas.
When patient Emma Jones, 14, asked Michelle what her favorite dance move was, she struggled to answer and admitted she didn't know how to do the popular dance move 'the floss'.
The confident child then stood up and showed off her moves by doing the 'floss' and the 'orange justice' dance moves from the popular video game Fortnite.
Michelle, clad in festive red pantsuit, stood up to try out the slick jive to the delight of the cheering crowd.

Oliver the Ornament - a touching anti-bullying tale that aligns with Melania's Be Best campaign
Oliver the Ornament is the first of seven children books written by Todd Zimmerman.
Oliver is a beloved ornament who has been with his owners, Mom and Dad, since they first started dating.
With time he has become injured and bullied by the other ornaments.
But when trouble arises, Oliver's love for Christmas leads him to forgive his fellow ornaments and help save the day.
The other books in the series tells how each ornament came into Mom, Dad, Holly and Henry's family collection.
The series has an anti-bullying message, teaching children to be kind and forgive others.
Each book comes with an ornament of the book's main character to hang on a family's tree.
The project was launched in 2015 after a kick-starter campaign raised $52,885 in just a few months.
Melania Trump's hospital visit continues a tradition of 60 years, in which every first lady since Bess Truman visited the hospital.
Children's National live streamed the book reading to every room in the hospital so those who couldn't attend could still see and hear the first lady.
Before she read to the kids, Melania Trump stopped in the hospital's neonatal unit to visit three families whose children had graduated the program.
Four year old Grayson Hogsett, who was born at 24 weeks, was shy and hid behind the first lady. She turned to pat him on the back while he hid in a chair.
The first lady made small talk with the kids, asking them what they want for Christmas.
'How you feeling? Do you have any wishes for Santa? What do you ask him?' She inquired.
Seven-year-old Abigail said she wanted a dog. The first lady asked if Abigail had a name in mind. 'Peppermint,' Abigail responded.
The first lady then listened to Nikki Watkinson's story of her early delivery during a snow storm in her husband's truck.
Baby Grayson was delivered at 24 weeks and is now 16 months. 'Our miracle baby,' Nikki said. 'You have an incredible story to tell,' the first lady said.
Payton Doy, a six-year-old who was born at 24 weeks, sat down beside the first lady. 'What do you like to do? Do you like to dance?,' Melania Trump asked her. Payton nodded
After her visit with the families, the first lady arrived to read to the children.
She came in to a standing ovation and holding hands with Nathan Simm and Tearrianna Cooke-Starkey, who are patients at the hospital.
'It's nice to be here and I have a book here to read to you,' she told the kids.
She sat before a large decorated Christmas tree.
Copies of 'Oliver the Ornament' were stacked in wagons on either side.
Nathan and Tearrianna sat on either side of her as she read. At the ends of the row of seats, sat Santa Clause at one end and Todd Zimmermann, author of 'Oliver the Ornament,' at the other.

'Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year,' the first lady told the children at the end of the reading.
Zimmermann thanked the first lady for reading his book and congratulated her on her Be Best campaign.
'I'd especially like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for including me in this tradition,' he said to her. 'I'd also like to thank you for everything you do to promote kindness as part of your Be Best campaign,' he added.
The first lady signed the book she read, which will stay at the hospital. Santa and the kids gave her a bouquet of red and white flowers after the reading.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
