It Takes A Librarian

Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet has celebrated her 58th birthday by dancing a traditional Chilean cueca — with a library worker who plucked up the courage to ask.

Bachelet was inaugurating a library in the Santiago district of Cerrillos on Tuesday when she was surprised by a group of musicians who played a “cueca brava” — a popular version of Chile’s folkloric dance — for her birthday. While the musicians sang, a library worker asked Chile’s president to dance — and she accepted. LA Times.
