 A Washington, D.C., police officer challenged a teenage girl to a dance-off, holding her own as the two did the "Nae Nae" dance. 
 
 A female officer arrived to break up a fight in a park on K Street SW Monday afternoon when she saw 17-year-old Aaliya Taylor dancing to the popular Silentó song "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)," Aaliya said. The girl said she usually fears officers and was surprised by what the officer said. 
 
 "As I'm stepping off, I started to dance and then the cop was like, 'I could do better,' and I was like, 'OK, you want to challenge me?'" the senior at Ballou High School said. "I was in shock." 
 
 The officer – whom the Metropolitan Police Department declined to name – matched the girl step for step as onlookers laughed and cheered. 
 
 'We Need More Cops Like You': Officer Challenges Teen to Dance-Off 
 
 A D.C. police officer challenged a teenage girl to a dance-off, holding her own as the two did the "Nae Nae" dance. The girl, Aaliya Taylor, said the encounter changed how she thinks about police. "She gave me a hug and she was like, 'What's your name?' and she was smiling," Aaliya said. "I was like, 'Oh yeah, we need more cops like you.'" (Published Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2015) 
 
 Aaliya said the encounter changed how she thinks about police. 
 
 "She gave me a hug and she was like, 'What's your name?' and she was smiling," Aaliya said. "I was like, 'Oh yeah, we need more cops like you.'" 
 
 The teen later posted a video of the dance-off on Facebook, where it's been viewed more than 279,000 times in less than 24 hours. 
 
 In the end, the officer and Aaliya called the dance-off a tie. 
 
 D.C. police confirmed to the Washington Post that the officer in the video is with their department. 
 
 "DC has innovative ways to keep our community #saferstrongerDC," Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted Wednesday afternoon. "A @dcpolicedept officer even did the 'Nae Nae.'"
– If all conflicts could be solved through dance-offs, the world would be much less violent (and Channing Tatum would probably be president, or something). Thankfully it's a world we're one step closer to after a Washington, DC, police officer and Iraq War veteran was caught on camera defusing a situation with some local teens through the undeniable power of the Nae Nae, the Washington Post reports. After an unnamed officer broke up a fight between some teens and ordered the crowd to disperse Monday, 17-year-old Aaliyah Taylor instead started playing the song "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" on her phone and dancing. The officer's reaction was a breath of fresh air, to say the least. "I started to dance and then the cop was like, 'I could do better,'" Taylor tells NBC Washington. "I was in shock." Taylor shared the video of the ensuing dance-off on Facebook, where it's been viewed nearly 700,000 times as of this writing. She tells the Post all seven of her siblings have been roughly handcuffed or arrested in the past for nonviolent crimes. That's why she's usually afraid of cops, according to NBC. That changed Monday. “Instead of us fighting, she tried to turn it around and make it something fun,” Taylor says. “I never expected cops to be that cool." The Hill reports even Obama is a fan, with the president tweeting: "Who knew community policing could involve the Nae Nae? Great example of police having fun while keeping us safe." For her part, the officer tells the Post she's embarrassed the video is getting so much attention because it's the kind of good policing officers do every day.
