Everyone dances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Bernie Sanders was no exception.

In a clip released on Twitter Wednesday evening, Sanders is shown grooving backstage, wearing a huge smile, clapping along with an unknown song (the video has no sound). He probably had an extra spring in his step because his campaign raised more than $1 million after Tuesday night's debate, or maybe Sanders was just really excited about whatever Ellen was giving away that day. His interview will air Thursday.
