Bill Gates may be at the top of the business game, but it looks like Cam Newton and Betty White could teach him a thing or two about dabbing.

Gates tweeted a photograph of himself dancing with students, bringing back a very hip move: The Dab.

Gates also included a link to his blog post, in which he wrote, "Last month, I had the chance to sit down in Seattle with administrators from two outstanding institutions–Johnson C. Smith University and Delaware State University—who are experimenting with exciting new ways to serve these at-risk students."

During his time visiting schools, he was fortunate enough to meet some of the students.

Turns out they had a lot to teach him, dance moves included.

Gates captioned the photo of them dancing together in the classroom: "I learned a lot from these great students… (not all of it was school related)."


We hope Bill Gates continues working on his dance skills, dabbing his way through future college visits.
