obama dancing

The White House became “La Casa Blanca” on Tuesday, celebrating Hispanic musical heritage with a South Lawn concert. Guests such as Gloria Estefan, George Lopez, the Bachata music group Aventura, Jose Feliciano and more performed.

President Barack Obama said Latin music, while hard to define because it comes in so many forms — from salsa to merengue and Bachata to reggaeton — speaks to everyone in a language they can all understand.

“It moves us, and it tends to make us move a little bit ourselves,” Obama said in brief remarks before the infectious rhythms began pulsating on the White House grounds. “In the end, what makes Latin music great is the same thing that’s always made America great. The unique ability to celebrate our differences while creating something new.”

The evening closed with the Obama family on stage dancing with the band and Jennifer Lopez.

I love the First Family! :) Watch them get their Salsa On in the above video!
