A traffic officer has been breaking out some dance moves on the streets in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The streets are congested by vehicles and pedestrians because of the three-day Democratic National Convention (DNC).

The dancing cop was reportedly part of a group of SWAT officers who were appointed as temporary traffic marshals, specifically for the DNC.

Several of his colleagues also entertained the crowds with their dance moves at other intersections, according to local Charlotte news reports.

Traffic has been congested in downtown Charlotte since the start of the convention.

The event is scheduled to end on September 6 when U.S. President Barack Obama delivers his speech, formally accepting the Democratic nomination.
