STORY: Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro showed off his dance moves with an unusual partner on Monday (December 22): an AI-powered robot that grooved along to traditional Venezuelan Christmas gaita music.

The unexpected moment occurred during the inauguration of Expo Motores Productivos 2025, a trade fair showcasing producers from various sectors in Caracas.

During the event broadcast on state TV, Maduro was seen dancing alongside the humanoid robot, which moved in rhythm to the festive music.

Gaita music, a genre deeply associated with the Christmas season in Venezuela, provided the soundtrack for the dancing between the country's leader and the robot.
