00:00Shall we dance? We're speaking to the lucky army sergeant who danced with Melania Trump at the Commander-in-Chief Ball on Inaugural Night.
00:08All eyes were on the strapping soldier who cut in on the President and gave the First Lady a twirl. He's Sergeant Henry Waller.
00:17When I walked out on stage, I was trying to contain my composure, but we were told that it's not like ceremonial composure, we can smile if we want to.
00:26And I was just overwhelmed with joy being out on stage where all these people were cheering for me.
00:31The First Lady smiled broadly as they danced.
00:34Did the First Lady say anything to you?
00:36I asked her how her night was going. She said it was going good. She asked me how mine was. I said it was fantastic.
00:41Is the First Lady a good dancer?
00:43Oh yeah, she's a really good dancer.
00:45Did you get to rehearse?
00:46The only rehearsing I did was back home with my wife dancing with her.
00:50While Sergeant Waller danced with Mrs. Trump, President Trump took a spin with Sergeant Tatiana Saldana from the United States Space Force.
00:59Vice President J.D. Vance and wife Usha also switched dancing partners.
01:03The Veep was joined by Staff Sergeant Lexus Martinez of the United States Marine Corps.
01:09Were you nervous?
01:10I was very nervous because I've never done anything like that before.
01:15Is he a good dancer?
01:16Better than me. Better than me. I was so nervous I probably looked like I had two left feet.
01:24Her boyfriend shot video of the priceless moments.
01:27That's my girlfriend!
01:29Usha tripped the light fantastic with Petty Officer Emanuel.
01:33Sergeant Waller's an honor guard who can be seen at state funerals and White House arrivals.
01:38He was also selected for his height. He's 6'6".
