The First Family let loose Tuesday night as they grooved to Latin rhythms on the South Lawn of the White House. "Fiesta Latina" is the latest installment of the White House Music Series, in which Michelle Obama seeks to celebrate a wide range of musical genres.

Eva Longoria Parker, George Lopez, and Jimmy Smits shared the spotlight as co-hosts for the evening's festivities. According to the Associated Press, Lopez joked that the President is really Latino, saying, "[He] lives in a house that's not his…Says he's going to change and nobody believes him. Very Latino."

Jose Feliciano joined Gloria Estefan on stage for a performance that got Barack and Michelle Obama and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, on their feet. The President said, "It moves us, and it tends to make us move a little bit ourselves," according to the AP.

Another power couple, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, watched on from their cocktail table. Estefan's husband, music producer Emilio Estefan, and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, showed support for their Hispanic heritage and deep appreciation for the Latin beat.

"In Performance at the White House: Fiesta Latina" is scheduled to be broadcast on PBS on October 15 at 8 p.m. Telemundo will re-air the event on October 18 at 6 p.m.
