This is the moment a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer let it all hang out at Sunday’s Pride parade.

The video was uploaded by LGBT softball league player Paige Ponzeka.

It features Aaron Santis, who told reporters he had been trying to get a police offer to dance with him all day, until the unknown officer came along.

“I didn’t expect him to get into it as much as he did,” Santis said. “The crowd just loved it and I think it made him want to dance more.” He added: “It was such a fun moment. He was such a good sport and I’m so glad he decided to dance.”
