On Friday, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama ended their final musical night with BET’s “Love and Happiness” event, at the White House. Held on the South Lawn performers included: Jill Scott Usher, The Roots, Bell Biv DeVoe, Janelle Monae, De La Soul, Yolanda Adams, Michelle Williams and Kiki Sheard.

Celebs in attendance included: Samuel L. Jackson, Jesse Williams, Angela Bassett, Terrence J, Regina Hall, Angie Martinez, Quest Love, DJ D-Dnice (who DJ’ed the after party), Naturi Naughton and a few other famous faces. BET will broadcast the show on Nov. 15.

One of the more memorable moments of the evening was the festive after-party. While there’s a strict no-phone policy, Usher managed to Snapchat Obama dancing to Drake. Here’s the clip.

Others posted their a few sweet memories about the evening.

When I returned to the music scene as a DJ after a 15 year hiatus, all I wanted to do was play classic hip-hop at a local New York City lounge. I never imagined that my love of music would one day have me spinning tunes at The White House for a black president. What I experienced last night was beyond anything I’d ever imagined. Watching POTUS dance while I spun Chicago house records was the highlight of my night. There was a point during my set where I felt completely uninhibited. I knew the people came to dance and that’s exactly what I intended to make them do. I initially thought about playing it safe but that wouldn’t have been much fun. When I glanced at the painting of George Washington on the wall of the ballroom, I smiled and played MOP’s Ante Up! What a night. Thank you Mr. President. #BrandNice
