President Obama showed off his dancing skills during his trip to Argentina.

The surprising dance followed the end of a candlelit state dinner hosted by President Mauricio Macri in the nation’s capital on March 23. 

Two dancers approached the president and First Lady Michelle Obama. The female dancer, Mora Godoy, invited Obama onto the floor. The president declined her invitation multiple times, but Godoy did not give in.  

During his two-day stay in Argentina, President Obama also joined the national public holiday to pay tribute to the victims of the “Dirty War,” referring to the 1976 coup. The military dictatorship ruled the country until 1983.
