There’s no place like home: Ahead of his trip to South Africa to attend the commemoration of Nelson Mandela’s 100th anniversary this week, Barack Obama is currently in his late father’s home country of Kenya.

Obama visited his father’s ancestral village, Kogelo in south-western Siaya county on Monday to join his half-sister Dr Auma Obama launch a youth centre she set up.

With his half-sister dancing to the tunes of traditional Kenyan music while he watched and nodded his head during the launch, the former U.S. president sort of couldn’t take it anymore and also joined in the fun much to the excitement of the crowd.

His grandmother, however, stole the show when she got on the dancefloor and showed them how it was done!

Take a look at the video and check out their dancing moves! Who do you think killed it?
