Watch: New York Cop Gets Down For Gay Pride Parade Dance, Becomes Instant Star

This New York police officer has become something of an overnight star for his dance session at the Gay Pride Parade yesterday.

The cop was on duty along the parade route when he caught the eye of one of the members of the Big Apple Softball League.

Paige Ponzeka, who was marching with the group and filmed the video, said that the cop ignored the dancer at first - but then clearly got swept away in the moment.

Whipping off his hat, he got down with his dance partner, even offering up a little twerking.

After giving a real show for the crowd, who whooped and cheered in delight, the police officer got a sticker and kiss on the cheek for his efforts.

Totally worth it.

The parade was just one across America put on to celebrate Gay Pride Day - and participants were in a celebratory mood as it came just two days after the US Supreme Court ruled in favour of same-sex marriage.

It also marked the anniversary of the Stonewall Inn riots in 1969 in New York City, which marked the modern-day gay pride movement.
