Michelle Obama turned a Martha's Vineyard appearance into a feel-good restaurant moment, greeting a fan with a hug and then dancing as people around her cheered.
The former first lady appears in an Instagram video posted Wednesday from Norman's restaurant in Oak Bluffs. In the clip, Obama steps in for a close embrace with an attendee before moving into a brief dance for the cameras.
The room responds with cheers as Obama keeps the mood light. The video does not show a speech or formal program, only the social moment inside the restaurant.
What brought her to Oak Bluffs
Obama was at an event hosted by The Vineyard Icon Foundation, according to the event information. The nonprofit says it celebrates changemakers, preserves legacy and invests in the next generation.
Norman's is located in Oak Bluffs, a Martha's Vineyard community where the gathering took place. The clip identifies the setting as part of a Vineyard Icon event.
Barack Obama was not visible in the footage. The former president's absence did not slow the scene around Michelle Obama, who was met with an enthusiastic response from the people inside the restaurant.
The video adds another public, casual moment for the former first lady, who was shown smiling, embracing a supporter and joining the energy of the room without any sign of a formal political appearance in the clip.
