Medvedev Shows Off Dance Moves In Viral YouTube Clip

Dancing Dmitry: Russian President Busts A Move In New Video

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev busts a few less-than-flattering moves on the dance floor in an amateur clip that has become a YouTube smash.

In the 30-second video posted Tuesday, Medvedev "somewhat awkwardly wiggles his hips and kicks up his heels with other party guests" to the tune of the 1990s dance-pop hit "American Boy," Reuters is reporting.

"It looks like Medvedev's swallowed a stick," one viewer reportedly commented.

The clip comes just days after Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin showed off considerably more polished talents. Said to be mulling a possible run for Medvedev's job in the 2012 presidential race, Putin took part in an ice hockey training session with two teenage teams over the weekend.
