Many complimented the youthful Senator for her dance moves which appeared to be in sync with the DP’s.

All the photos depicted the duo dancing respectfully with bright smiles on their faces.

In one of the photos, the DP could be seen dancing with the Senator with his fingers folded with many interpreting it that being a married Christian, he did so out of respect and to avoid holding the lawmaker’s waist.
