The Eternals star Angelina Jolie was so happy about her daughter Zahara's admission that she just had to dance!

The 47-year-old proud mother was spotted showing her Electric Slide skills to the tune of "Candy" by funk group Cameo Sunday alongside other students and their families.

Sported in an oversized grey sweater and white slacks, the 47-year-old Oscar winner looked fashionable as she busted some moves, while her teen daughter Zahara kept it simple in a plain white T-shirt.

The pair were all smiles as Angelina Jolie held hands with another dancer sporting a "Spelman" shirt during the event, which Morehouse LA President Brandon Rainey told on social media as a "family reunion."

Rainey shared on Twitter alongside the video of Jolie and her daughter dancing, "You know the Family Reunion is lit when #SpelhouseLA is showing @joliestweet some moves on the dance floor."

On Sunday, the Eternals star announced in an Instagram post that Zahara, whom she shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, will attend the historically Black college this fall.

Jolie captioned an image of her daughter surrounded by fellow Spelman attendees, "Zahara with her Spelman sisters!"

The actress added, referring to the historically Black college for women in Atlanta, "Congratulations to all new students starting this year," adding, "A very special place and an honor to have a family member as a new Spelman girl."

Jolie, 47, also added a group of hashtags to her post, including "#SpelmanCollege," "#SpelmanSisters, and "#HBCU."

The actor and human rights campaigner shares with Pitt 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, Pax, 18, Shiloh, 16, and Maddox, 20.

Jolie, who adopted Zahara in 2005, previously said she is "in awe of" her daughter.

In 2020, during a video interview with Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate for a TIME 100 Talk, she praised the then 15-year-old Zahara as "an extraordinary African woman."

Jolie said, "My daughter is from Ethiopia, one of my kids, And I have learned so much from her. She is my family, but she is an extraordinary African woman and her connection to her country, her continent, is her own, and it's something I only stand back in awe of."

In December 2021, the duo made a difference together during a mom-daughter trip to Washington, D.C., to meet with advocates and politicians to support the Violence Against Women Act.

Jolie wrote in an Instagram caption at the time, "Honored to visit Washington, DC, with Zahara, 17, working with advocates and lawmakers to modernize and strengthen the #ViolenceAgainstWomenAct to include protections for communities of color, tribes, children's health, and safety, LGBTQ survivors, rural areas, and all survivors."

She added, "We need reforms including judicial training, trauma-informed court processes that minimize the risk of harm to kids, programs for technology to detect bruising across all skin tones and make non-biased forensic evidence collection, and protections for the weak."

In October last year, Jolie said that her children are "pretty great people."

She explained, "And because there's so many of them, I think they have had a significant effect on each other. It is not like I am the head of anything. I am very honest with my kids. And I am very human with my kids."

Jolie said Zahara is "curious about all the other aspects of who they are" when raising them, and her preference is to "be there to support and develop all the diverse aspects of who they are."

Jolie said at the time, "I have six very individual human beings in my home. I'm so excited about the different stages, feelings, and curiosities they go through. Why wouldn't you be?"

She added, "We are supposed to help them figure out who they are. And you cannot figure out who they are if you don't enthusiastically develop with them."
