Eva Longoria at the White House Fiesta Latina Event

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria brought Hollywood glamour to the White House last night for a celebration of Hispanic music. The White House sure knows how to throw a good party, as megastars like Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria Parker, Gloria Estefan and others took to the South lawn to celebrate ‘Fiesta Latina.’

Earlier in the day, Eva Longoria was out on Capitol Hill in an effort to voice her support for the proposed National Museum of the American Latino.

President Barack Obama celebrated the growing contribution of Hispanic culture and music to the United States with a “Fiesta Latina” at the White House, part of a musical series started by First Lady Michelle Obama.

President Barack Obama said Latin music, while hard to define because it comes in so many forms – from salsa to merengue and Bachata to reggaeton – speaks to everyone in a language they can all understand.

Hosts Eva Longoria Parker, Jimmy Smits, and George Lopez joked that Obama is really Latino.

Obama proved what he said about the power of Latin music. He wiggled his hips and took a few turns on the dance floor with singer Thalia after she said: “Mr. President. With all due respect, will you dance with me?” He complied as she approached the table where he sat with Mrs. Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia.
