First Lady Michelle Obama watched Washington, D.C.-area middle school students perform the “Let’s Move Flash Workout,” set to Beyonce’s remixed “Get Me Bodied.”

From ABC News:

“Beyoncé is one of my favorite performers on the planet. And when she agreed to remake her video and do this “Let’s Move” flash workout, I was so excited, because this is what we’ve been talking about — that exercise and moving can be fun,” Mrs. Obama said, “It’s about dancing, it’s about moving.”

Catch Mrs. Obama doing the dougie, and the Ramba.

Rhumba (or rumba); not Ramba. And First Ladies aren't "stuck up" - they're *ladies*. Ladies are proper; they act/conduct themselves in a certain way (at least in public). Their husbands hold the highest office in the nation so you're not going to see them cuss, yell, smoke, etc., do things that are considered bad behavior/have bad habits (be un-ladylike). Not to mention, most other First Ladies were *much* older and grew up in times were women didn't work and took a "back seat" to their husbands---Michelle is only in her 40s, a lawyer herself, and is quite the modern gal. :-)
