Following the NFC Divisional Playoff win, Atlanta Falcons honor Arthur Blank reserved his dance moves for the locker room celebration.

On Sunday, following the Falcons' rout of Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game, he was urged to dance before  nation audience during the trophy presentation. He declined.

He, however, got caught up in the moment and broke out his dance moves. He was joined by his wife, Angela Macuga, and the team in a dancefest on the makeshift stage on the Georgia Dome floor.

It was his crowning moment, after all.

TV broadcasters urged him to watch his heart rate.

The Falcons are listed as the underdogs against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI.

Who wants to see him dancing Feb. 5 in Houston?
