The public figure was seen grooving a little sitting before her birthday cake. Michelle Obama, the former US first lady, turned 58 on Monday and rang in the celebrations showing off her dancing skills.

While she didn’t technically shake a leg, her enthusiasm was felt through the screen as she did an impromptu dance while sitting on the chair.
“Here’s to a sweet 58th! Thank you so much for your outpouring of love. Whether you texted, emailed, or posted on social media, every birthday message I received today meant a lot to me,” the best-selling author wrote on Twitter and Instagram.

Many reacted to the video, saying it gave them “immense joy”.
Of course, such special days are incomplete without messages from family members and former US president Barack Obama too shared a candid post to wish his wife. “Happy birthday, Michelle. My love, my partner, my best friend…” he wrote on Twitter and shared a photo of him kissing his spouse against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset.
Happy birthday, Michelle.
My love, my partner, my best friend… pic.twitter.com/5oDMOgcsWI

Michelle Obama’s birthday also became special when a conversation between her and actor-model Yara Shahidi was aired on BET TV in a nod to her memoir Becoming. It wasn’t just the two women but college students from across the nation who interacted with Michelle Obama taking a deeper dive into her book.
I hope you’ll tune in tonight at 7pm ET on @BET to see Yara Shahidi and I speak with some talented young people who are owning their stories and becoming who they want to be. #BecomingOnBET 💕 pic.twitter.com/0TtKF0PYwP

I couldn’t admire this woman more if I tried. Natural beauty, spirit, intelligence, grace (sometimes under pressure), honesty, kindness, generosity, courage. She and her husband were the closest this country has gotten to royalty of the deep soul. https://t.co/9oXnEO8wMj
