Melania Joins Trump’s Viral “YMCA” Dance on July 4th. Donald Trump’s signature “YMCA” dance — with hip sways and air punches — has long been a highlight at his rallies, becoming a viral sensation across sports and social media.

This Fourth of July, the routine took an unexpected turn: Melania Trump joined in. During celebrations at the White House, she mimicked Trump’s moves with a more subtle touch, surprising many and sparking a wave of online reactions.

The dance first gained popularity during Trump’s presidency, set to the Village People’s “YMCA.” Despite the group’s past objections to its political use, Trump continued to embrace it.

In a December 2024 Fox interview, Melania had called the dance “happy and unique,” saying she’d never tried it. That changed this July 4th, when she joined her husband on the White House balcony in a lighthearted performance.

Reactions were mixed. Supporters saw it as a joyful, united front. Critics dismissed it as staged and calculated.

Love it or hate it, the Trump “YMCA” dance — now with Melania’s spin — remains a memorable part of American political theater.
