Trump, Melania Dance to ‘YMCA’ on White House Balcony

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump capped the Independence Day festivities in Washington on Friday night by stepping onto the White House balcony and performing the arm-swinging routine to the Village People’s 1978 hit “YMCA.” The United States Marine Band struck up the disco anthem moments after the National Mall fireworks ended, prompting the couple to dance for roughly 30 seconds while crowds on the South Lawn cheered and waved flags. The impromptu display marked a rare joint public appearance by the First Lady, who has kept a low profile since the couple returned to the White House in January. Although the president often uses “YMCA” as exit music at rallies, it was the first time he and Mrs. Trump performed the choreography together at an official event, underscoring the celebratory mood of the annual Fourth of July program.
