Hillary Clinton dances at South Africa dinner - video

Hillary Clinton showed off her dance moves at a dinner in South Africa this week.

The US Secretary of State is in the country as part of a seven-nation tour to promote the US as an alternative to China's economic influences in the area.

Clinton was invited to dance at the dinner hosted by the South African Foreign Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane in Johannesburg.



She appeared to be enjoying herself while dancing and clapping along to the music in front of an assembled media group.

Hillary Clinton isn't the first politician to try their hand at musical routines in recent months, with Democratic Representative Loretta Sanchez singing and dancing along to Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' in July.

Australian minister Craig Emerson also gave a cringe-worthy performance live on an ABC News interview last month.
