“Wow his dancing skills are incredible,” one user said.

“Too good,” said another.

Early last year, Mr Garcetti danced to the hit song “Chaiyya Chaiyya” during a Diwali celebration at the US Embassy.

The original song, released in 1998, featured Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora grooving on the same train.
