In the short teaser, the former US president describes the time he found himself dancing on-stage at a Prince concert, shortly before the star passed away in April of 2016.

"This was probably three or four months before he died," Obama says, " and Prince asked Sasha [Obama's daughter] to dance - and she's an excellent dancer - and Sasha pulls me up, which surprises me because she always mocks my dancing."

To avoid being found out, he reverted to a tactic he calls "staying in the pocket".

"I think everybody here knows dads who get out of the pocket, and, they're trying stuff that they can't really pull off," he says. Watch the clip below.
