Michelle Obama, Beyonc get kids moving - Things That Go Pop!

Michelle Obama, Beyonc get kids moving

While Canadian youth engaged in vote mobs over the past month, American youngsters have been practicing for a different kind of flash mob: a first lady-sanctioned flash workout.

After enlisting chart-topper Beyoncé to re-work a suitable tune and star in a toe-tapping, inspirational music video, Michelle Obama and U.S. educational groups urged American middle school kids to get off the couch and get dancing.

Students showed off their moves this week, with some performing for (and alongside) the Obama acknowledged as the better dancer.

You can't beat the sheer joy of the above video, in which some very talented students at a Harlem school hold it together when Beyoncé herself surprises and joins them mid-performance.

With video games like Dance Central and Michael Jackson: The Experience making the rounds and that summertime guilty pleasure So You Think You Can Dance? heading our way again, might this Let's Move workout spark a new wave of online video imitators (à la Single Ladies)?
