It's played host to royalty,
presidential family Christmases, and first lady summits. At one time it
served as FDR's personal study.
Now, President Obama says the Yellow Oval Room in the upstairs residence of the White House has also served as his personal dance floor.
In an interview with People
magazine for release Friday, Obama reveals that he, the first lady and
close friends spent a recent Friday evening grooving to soul tunes in
the privacy of their official Washington home.
"Friday night. In the Yellow
Oval. We had some guests over. It was a small group,” Obama told the
magazine when asked about the last time he danced.
Obama said his playlist included selections from rock legends.
“We started with Aretha’s ‘Rock Steady.’ Sly and the Family Stone," he said. "Then we ended the night on Al Green, and everybody did a slow dance.”
The Obamas are known to love music and dancing, and have been seen
singing and dancing in the front row of a regular performance series
they host at the White House.
The president most recently showcased his dancing abilities on stage with Santa at the National Christmas Tree lighting. Earlier this year, Mrs. Obama released a Vine video of herself dancing with a turnip.
