While former President Barack Obama has been making both good and bad headlines this week as he promotes his post-presidency memoir, his daughter Sasha Obama has been able to stay above the political fray by adding a little joy to our timelines.
People on social media were again happy to see Sasha breaking it down with some friends.

This is not the first time Sasha's fun videos have made headlines. Just a few weeks ago, social media was similarly excited when someone caught the 19-year-old singing along to a City Girls' song.

Sasha is currently studying at the University of Michigan and the former president has made a point of speaking about his daughters on his book tour.
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Barack jokingly confirmed he was afraid of Sasha.
"Yes, and the reason is because Sasha is a mini-Michelle. And I'm afraid of Michelle. Malia is more like me temperamentally. And we call ourselves the long faces because her face is more shaped like mine. The round faces are Michelle and Sasha and the round faces are a fiercer tribe," Barack said.
