“Wow his dance skills are amazing,” a user said.
“Too good,” said another.
Earlier last year, Mr Garcetti danced to the hit song ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ during a Diwali celebration event at the US embassy.
The original song, which came out in 1998, featured Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora grooving on a train.
