How hip is first lady Michelle Obama? Hip enough to dance to DJ Snake and Lil Jon's "Turn Down for What" inside the White House -- with a turnip clenched in her right hand.

#TurnipForWhat?

During a Twitter Q&A, the 50-year-old FLOTUS humorously answered President Barack Obama impersonator Iman Crosson's question with a 6-second Vine. His question: "On average, how many calories do you burn every time you 'turn up'?!"

Crosson, dressed as the president, incited the hilarity with a Vine of his own:

The first lady is no stranger to showing off her moves. She has publicly boogied to Beyoncé jams as part of her "Let's Move!" initiative to thwart childhood obesity. She also memorably demonstrated the "Evolution of Mom Dancing" with Jimmy Fallon in 2013.

And let's not forget to mention the star-studded hip-hop album she released last year.
