President Donald Trump gave students on the White House South Lawn a quick lesson in one of his most recognizable moves Monday — breaking out his signature “Trump dance”in a moment that quickly made the rounds online.
The short clip, shared by the official White House account on X, shows Trump briefly stepping into the role of dance instructor, demonstrating the now-familiar arm motions that have become a staple of his rallies.
“SPOTTED: PRESIDENT TRUMP TEACHING THE TRUMP DANCE ON THE SOUTH LAWN 🇺🇸,” the White House posted on X.
As the Village People’s “YMCA” played, Trump joined in for a few seconds, gesturing through the motions and brandishing a broad smile as students joined in before returning to the event.

The students in attendance were local children and families invited to the White House, though officials did not provide additional details.

Earlier in the event, Trump welcomed student athletes to the White House and stressed the importance of physical fitness.
“We’re thrilled to have so many young athletes here at the White House,” Trump said. “It is indeed a beautiful day to celebrate America’s athletic traditions and champions and physical fitness.”
He also joked about his own workout habits, saying, “I work out so much, like about one minute a day max if I’m lucky,” Trump said.
Village People co-founder Victor Willis previously backed Trump’s use of the song, saying the president was “bringing so much joy to the American people with his use of ‘Y.M.C.A.’” after initially opposing it.
