This is the adorable moment a 106-year-old woman met President Barack Obama for the first time - and turned it into a dance party.
The minute Virginia McLaurin sees Obama as she walks into the White House she yells 'Hi!' to the president, opening her arms wide with excitement as he comes over and takes her hands.
‘How are you?’ he asks, a huge grin on his face. ‘I’m fine,’ she replies, already dancing excitedly.

Virginia then gives Michelle a hug as the First Lady tells her 'I wanna be like you when I grow up'
‘Oh it’s so nice to see you,’ Obama says and she tells him ‘It’s an honor, it’s an honor’.
Obama then asks Virginia if she wants to say hi to Michelle and she enthusastically waves to the First Lady and says ‘Yes’.
Still holding Obama’s hands, she immediately begins walking over as Obama jokingly tells her to slow down.
‘She’s 106!’ Obama tells Michelle.
‘No you are not! Oh my goodness,' Michelle responds. 'I wanna be like you when I grow up,’ she tells Virginia.
‘You can,’ Virginia says with a smile, as she starts to dance.
‘You can,’ Virginia says with a smile, as she starts to dance and Michelle immediately joins in
Obama grabs Virginia’s hand to join the groove session, asking her ‘What’s the secret to still dancing at 106?’
‘Just keep movin’ she says as Michelle continues to dance with her before complimenting her manicure

‘We’re so happy to have you here,’ the First Lady tells her, ‘and look at those nails!', she says, admiring Virginia's purple manicure.
The overjoyed Virginia continues to dance in the middle of the couple, letting out a ‘Wooo!’ as they take some pictures.
‘I thought I would never live to get in the White House,’ Virginia tells then the president.
