Watch: Police officer dances up a storm at NYC Pride parade

Laying down the law isn't always serious business. A New York City police officer showed off his dance moves during the city's Gay Pride parade Sunday.

A 12-second clip shows what appears to be an NYPD officer backing it up and shaking what his mama gave him with a man who was marching in the parade.

The cell phone video was uploaded to YouTube Sunday and already has over two million views.

Paige Ponzeka, who posted the video, told Business Insider  that the officer wasn't interested in dancing at first. She said the officer was standing "stoic, watching the parade" when her friend tried to dance with him.

"...At first he wasn't very responsive. But then he got really into it, and the crowd loved it," Ponzeka told Business Insider.

Dance on my friend!
