Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Labour leader Chris Hipkins have teamed up for display of ‘dad dancing’ at Indian Independence Day celebrations in Auckland.
Indian singer Shibani Kashyap invited Luxon onstage at the Due Drop Events Centre to dance with her at the event on Saturday night.
Luxon decided to make it a non-partisan party by inviting Hipkins onstage, telling the crowd the opposition leader was “an outstanding dancer”.
“So if I’m going to embarrass myself, he’s going to embarrass himself,” the prime minister quipped.
