The Harlem shake is out, mom dancing is in – and First Lady Michelle Obama is ready for her TV close-up.

Joining a drag-donning Jimmy Fallon on his NBC show Late Night Friday, Mrs. Obama, 49, broke it down for "The Evolution of Mom Dancing," promoting the third anniversary of her "Let's Move" anti-obesity campaign.

Although the pair easily got into the groove with such classics as "Go Shopping, Get Groceries," "Raise the Roof" and "Sprinkler," the first lady kicked it up a notch with "Just The Hands Part of Single Ladies," "Oh My God, I Love This Song" and "Driving the Station Wagon."

Outside, in the street, a crowd of fans had already gathered with placards, banners and even an ebullient fellow from Dallas waving what he called the world's largest wristband, hailing his heroine. It read, "Welcome Back Robin."

Once the show hit the air, Roberts, with her colleagues surrounding her, looked into the camera, broke into a great big smile, and announced: "Hi, it's Robin. I've been waiting 174 days to do this: Good Morning America!"
