A video of NASA astronaut Mike Fincke's dance performed aboard the International Space Station is going viral on Internet. What makes this dance performance even more special is that Mike is doing a Rongali Bihu which is a form of folk dance from Assam. The video shows Mike doing the signature steps of Bihu. He even ups his game by doing various cartwheels in the video. To make the Rongali Bihu even more authentic in space, he wore 'Gamosaa', an important part of Assamese tradition. 

The video was captioned as ‘What's #RongaliBihu without song and dance. Here's #NASA astronaut Mike Fincke performing Bihu aboard the International Space Station in 2004. Mike is Assam's son-in-law, married to Renita Saikia, who also works at NASA.’ Take a look: 

Twitterverse is unable to get over the exemplary performance by Mike Fincke and here is the proof:
