Watch As Mitt Romney Lets Loose At A Conference And Does A Hoedown Onstage

|

The normally reserved former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney hopped onstage for a quick dance lesson with performer Alex Boyé at a conference for young Mormons last weekend.

We're not entirely sure that everyone's legs were going in the same direction, but for 10 seconds of instruction, we think the governor acquitted himself quite well.

UPDATE: Instagram user Lant Webb posted this additional video of the event.
