Melania Trump Joins in on ‘YMCA’ Fun During Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve Celebration
Melania Trump showcased her dance moves on New Year’s Eve, joining the festivities at Mar-a-Lago just 20 days before President-elect Donald Trump is set to begin his second term.
The celebration was marked by a lighthearted atmosphere as hundreds gathered to ring in the new year with the Trump family.
A standout moment came when Melania joined her husband and “First Buddy”
Elon Musk on the dance floor as the Village People’s hit “YMCA” played. Musk, dancing alongside Trump, was accompanied by his youngest son, X, who seemed to enjoy the lively beats.
In a clip shared by “FLOTUS Report” on X, Melania, 54, could be seen smiling and waving her hands in the air while performing a subtle, elegant jive.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump enthusiastically pumped his fists in his signature style. The couple’s celebratory energy captured the joy of the historic evening, making it a night to remember.
Fans of the beloved former first lady applauded her for stepping out of her comfort zone to join in the fun, dancing to one of Trump’s favorite songs. One fan commented,
“LOL, she actually CAN dance great,” while others called her “stunning” and praised her golden, sequined floor-length gown for the event. Another admirer wrote, “I adore our First Lady-elect. May this be a much better four years for her.”
The star-studded New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago included notable guests such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and his family, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and his wife Usha, and Donald Trump Jr. with his new girlfriend, Bettina Anderson. Lara Trump, the president-elect’s daughter-in-law, captivated the crowd with a powerful rendition of Tom Petty’s classic “I Won’t Back Down”, prompting Trump and the pro-MAGA attendees to sing along enthusiastically.
Prior to entering the event, President-elect Trump addressed reporters, confirming he would attend the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter. When asked about his New Year’s resolutions, Trump used the opportunity to express his well-wishes to the nation. “I just want everybody to be happy, healthy, and well,” he said.

Melania Trump faced a challenging 2024, marked by the loss of her mother and culminating in a victorious re-election, securing four more years in the White House.
During this eventful year, she also guided her youngest son,
Barron, as he made the pivotal decision to attend New York University’s Stern School of Business. This milestone sets up the 6’9″ freshman, the only son of Melania and President-elect Donald Trump, to follow in the family’s footsteps in real estate and politics—or to forge his own unique path.
“He’s a grown young man, and I’m very proud of him—his knowledge, even about politics, and his advice to his father,” Melania shared about Barron’s involvement in the campaign.
“He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation. Nowadays, young people don’t sit in front of the TV anymore; they’re on tablets, phones, and streaming platforms.”
She praised Barron’s insights and contributions, saying, “He was very vocal and gave advice to his father. It was incredible how he brought success by knowing exactly who his father needed to reach out to and engage with.”
