President Donald Trump He arrived at the Commander in Chief’s ball shortly after 10 p.m. ET on Monday and shared his first dance with first lady Melania Trump, the first of his three appearances at the ball that night.
Shortly after the band played “Americans, We,” Trump was introduced by an emcee at the Walter Washington Convention Center in Mount Vernon Square, DC.
The event is aimed at service members.
For their first dance, Trump and first lady Melania Trump danced to a contemporary rendition of Julia Ward Howe’s 1861 Civil War anthem, “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
The song was the clarion call of the Union Army of the Potomac and the opposite number to the Confederate Army’s “Dixie.”

In brief remarks, Trump told the crowd that the election was a “tremendous victory” and that one of the main reasons he won was “my relationship with you (the American people).”
At the military-themed ball, he praised his candidate for Pentagon chief, Pete Hegseth.
Trump also spoke at two other balls later that night, another located at the Washington Convention Center and the last located at Union Station.
The Liberty Ball was sandwiched between the Commander-in-Chief Ball and the Starlight Ball.
While the Commander-in-Chief’s dance was aimed at service members, The Liberty Ball will include a wide range of Trump supporters. It will be headlined by Trump’s speech, but, like the Commander in Chief’s dance, it will also include some musical performances. Those performances will include country singer Jason Aldean, rapper Nelly and the Village People.
At the Liberty Ball, also held at the convention center, Trump shared another first dance with Mrs. Trump.
Next, several members of the Trump family took the stage, along with Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance. They danced to “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers.
Trump told the Liberty Ball crowd it had been “an incredible day.”
The dances follow a packed day of events that included President Trump’s formal swearing-in ceremony, a inaugural parade at Capital One Arena, a signing ceremony in the Oval Office and much more.
During the day’s events Trump signed a series of executive orders related to border security, diversity, equity and inclusion, January 6, energy and climate, and the federal workforce.
