As Joe Biden misses out, here's how other US presidents shook a leg at inaugural ball
One of the highlights of the presidential inauguration in the United States is the inaugural ball in which traditionally the presidents after their swearing-in dance. But amid the threat of violence this year and the coronavirus pandemic that has killed over 4 million Americans, this event did not take place.
However, earlier presidents did shake their legs at this event. Let's check it out.
Barack and Michelle say 'let's stay together'

Senior Bush doesn't disappoint

Bush, the 41st president of the United States and the father of the 43rd, who steered the nation through a tumultuous period in world affairs but was denied a second term after support for his presidency collapsed under the weight of an economic downturn and his seeming inattention to domestic affairs, died on Nov. 30, 2018. He was 94. (Paul Hosefros/The New York Times)
