Video: Djokovic's Dancing Days in Dubai

Novak Djokovic has shown the spirit of a fighter winning four Dubai titles. The top seed displayed the moves of a belly dancer at the Dubai player party.

Watch the flexible Serbian showcase his interpretation of belly dancing about 50 seconds into the video above.

One of the game's best movers exhibited happy feet all night.

"It was a lot of dancing," Djokovic said. "I saw most of the players leave when I arrived, because I finished the match late. So I arrived around 10:30 and I thought we were in for a short night, but it was completely something different and I enjoyed it very much."

The entertaining Djokovic drew a crowd, but wasn't finished performing.

Later, Djokovic danced with the singer who performed a Whitney Houston tribute show at the party. On or off court, Djokovic is often the life of the party. The world No. 1 says Dubai celebrations are among his favorite on the circuit.

"I think these players parties usually are not as much fun as here in Dubai," Djokovic said. "We always have some nice, fun entertainment content during the night with magicians, with music. The lady that was singing last night was incredible. The lady that was dancing last night was incredible. And the journalists that were there last night were incredible."

The new father brought his own chaperone and fellow reveler — coach Boris Becker — to the festivities.

Djokovic was raving over the Hall of Famer's exuberance on the dance floor as Becker, who underwent hip replacement surgery last year, put his own unique spin on hip hop moves.

"I enjoyed it very much," Djokovic said. "I thought, you know, why not have fun? Didn't stay too late. I don't know if 1:00 a.m. is a bit late. Well, my coach was there with me, so he definitely approved everything."

"Boris showed some very flexible, very agile moves on the dance floor with hip‑hop, with his hips that are replaced last couple of years," said Djokovic, eliciting laughter among the media. "Aand then with his ankles and looks like a young guy on the floor. But I loved it. Very good."
