He promptly made his way up to the stage for what the _Post_ aptly described as “rambunctious gyrating.” Sadly, there’s no audio, so we recommend turning on some Donna Summer to play in the background. Here, hit play on this and then return to the Christie video: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3136944/chris-christie-dancing-with-jamie-foxx-in-hamptons/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3136944/chris-christie-dancing-with-jamie-foxx-in-hamptons/"},"headline":"Chris Christie Shows Off His World-Famous Dance Moves Onstage With Jamie Foxx","datePublished":"2014-08-18T19:38:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:32.730Z","description":"The New York Post called it \"rambunctious gyrating\"","url":"https://time.com/3136944/chris-christie-dancing-with-jamie-foxx-in-hamptons/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Chris Christie","New Jersey","politics","Jamie Foxx","dancing","Apollo"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd187b4b8afae790b/698689a355a859d171a80305/481182821.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd187b4b8afae790b/698689a355a859d171a80305/481182821.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"NJ Gov Christie Holds News Conference At Statehouse","caption":"NJ Gov Christie Holds News Conference At Statehouse","creditText":"Jessica Kourkounis—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3136944/chris-christie-dancing-with-jamie-foxx-in-hamptons/","name":"Chris Christie Shows Off His World-Famous Dance Moves Onstage With Jamie Foxx"}}]}] ```
