First Lady encourages kids to be healthy

February 9, 2012 By Matt Kelley

First Lady Michelle Obama in Des Moines.

Around 10,000 school kids packed Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines this morning for an event featuring First Lady Michelle Obama.

Her stop in Iowa started a four-state swing to celebrate the second anniversary of the launch of her “Let’s Move” initiative.

Mrs. Obama asked for the kids’ help to make Iowa and all of the states the “healthiest they can be.”

The nearly two-hour long event closed with the First Lady and everyone in the arena performing the Interlude Dance. The Interlude has become a dance craze at the University of Northern Iowa – with fans and students performing the dance during basketball games.
