The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wowed delighted crowds with their dance moves as they were welcomed to a village in Belize today.
Prince William, 39, gave a little shimmy when they were treated to welcome dance in the village of Hopkins - known as the country's happiest village.
But it was Kate, 40, who was first onto the dancefloor, cutting shapes with nine local schoolchildren from the Garifuna Cultural Centre.
Future King Wills appeared a bit more hesitant before being beckoned to show his moves to the local ‘punta’ style dance as groups of children cheered him on waving Belize flags.
And it wasn't long before Wills began dancing with local organiser Laura Cacho, 57.
They were soon holding hands and gyrating to the music as locals screamed in delight.
She said afterwards: "That was so exciting. A dream come true.
"It was fun he was a good dancer and I told him he got the Garifuna culture in him.
"He did the punta dance better than me.
"He shook his waist to the music. He had beautiful rhythm. It was a pleasure for me.
"Kate was excellent as well and definitely has Garifuna culture in her.

"They were shaking their waists like nobody's business."
Kate and William were treated to dancing and food by the local Garifuna community in Hopkins on the Caribbean coast.
It was a change of atmosphere for the royals, who were forced to cancel a trip to a farm after locals protested against their visit.
Kate, wearing a blue floral dress, and William ditched his jacket and tie, to witness nine youngsters aged nine to 15-years-old carry out four elaborate dance routines.
They were also offered plantain coconut broth, Hudutu and a sweet sava porridge called Sahau with Belizian celebrity chef Sean Kuylen.
Mamma G, also known Joan Gloria, pastor of National Garifuna Council, helped provide the dancing children, and said: "We welcome them both. It is an honour. We welcome everybody.
"We are the happiest village in Belize. Nobody who comes here is sad.
"We are about love, respect and welcoming people with open arms."
Hopkins - population of 1,000 descendants of a shipwrecked slave ship - is regularly voted the friendliest village in the whole of Belize.
After dancing the pair planted a local Yellow Copperpod tree in honour of their visit and the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
The 95-year-old Queen, who no longer travels due to her age, is still a popular figure in the Caribbean country after last visiting in 1994 with her late husband Prince Philip.
Local bar owner Felix Jefferson, 48, said: “We love the Queen and the British royals. William and Kate are welcomed here by everybody, there’s no animosity about their visit and you can see them getting involved with the people and loving the Caribbean life.
“It’s a joy to see. My father was here when the Queen was here the last two times and they loved her. It’s always been my dream to go to the UK but I feel Kate and William have given me a flavour of that by being here and meeting us all.”
The royal couple also met a small group of marine conservation specialists to learn more about Belize’s unique marine environment as it has the world's second largest reef, and stepped onto a newly rebuilt pier with Beverly Wade, from office of Belize Prime Minister.
Earlier today, the couple were made to work hard for their sweet treats during a visit to a cacao farm.
Kate tried her hand at grinding nibs, broken-up made cocoa beans, back-breaking work traditionally performed by the women in rural communities, during their visit to the Che ‘il chocolate farm in Belize.
As the future Queen also watched her husband pounding away with a mortar and pestle made from volcanic rock she said: “The smell of the chocolate is amazing.”
William even joked about giving up his day job as a working royal asking Julio Saqui owner of the family run chocolate firm “Do you take apprentices? Can I come and work for you it’s my kind of thing.”
