WATCH: Barack Obama has the secret to reining in ‘dad moves’

Cape Town – Barack Obama is every dad ever when it comes to dancing, making jokes and being seen in public with his daughters.

And in a teaser for David Letterman’s new Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, the former POTUS was no different.

Sharing a memory he had with his daughter, Sasha, Obama detailed his “dad moves” at the last Prince concert he went to before the late singer’s death in April 2016.

“This was probably three or four months before he died and Prince asked Sasha to come up and dance—and she's an excellent dancer,” Obama tells Letterman in the clip.

To his surprise, Sasha pulled him on stage with her but thankfully he knew just what to do to rein his dad moves in.

“Then Sasha pulls me up, which surprises me because she always mocks my dancing but I have dad moves. And I think the key is what we call, 'Staying in the pocket.'

“You gotta stay in the pocket because, I think everybody here knows dads who get out of the pocket, and they're trying stuff that they can't really pull off and they start doing like, karate kicks and all kinds of stuff.”

So there you have it - the secret to toning down “dad moves”.
