Colin Powell’s Dance Moves

Former SecState lets it all hang out.

Shock photo in The Daily Telegraph: Colin Powell, dressed in his trademark power suit, losing himself on the dance floor. His index fingers are pointed to the sky, and his mouth is ajar as if prompted by a dentist to open wide. To what do we owe this treat? The occasion was Africa Rising, a benefit in which Powell was joined by Christina Aguilera, Seal, and the Nigerian musician Olu Maintain. After giving a speech earlier in the evening, Powell took the stage, and according to the Telegraph’s account, “seemed at ease as he treated the crowds to moves from the popular African dance Yahoozee.” Powell’s previous public dancing had been confined to the diplomatic shuffle.
