Video: Michelle Obama busts a move
(CBS/AP) First lady Michelle Obama showed off some dance moves this week during an appearance at a northern Virginia high school tied to her upcoming cameo on the Nickelodeon TV show "iCarly."
They called it "random dancing," but Obama broke out some moves that resembled subdued variations of "the Monkey" or "the Jerk."
A screaming, raucous auditorium filled with elementary and middle school students greeted Obama and the "iCarly" cast at Hayfield Secondary School on Friday.

The appearance promoted an upcoming episode featuring Obama in which she thanks military families for their sacrifices.
A staple of the show is a segment of random dancing, which Obama performed both in the episode that premieres Monday and on stage Friday.
Obama's dance moves drew plaudits from the "iCarly" cast. But she drew some boos when she told students about legislation to add more vegetables to school lunches.
She handled student questions too. Her favorite TV shows? Besides "iCarly," Obama said, "we watch all kinds of things. We try not to have too much TV time during the week, though."
Obama also joined the Twittersphere this week. In one of her first tweets," she wrote, "Hi, everyone, and thanks for the warm welcome. Look forward to staying in touch with you here. -mo"
