This bus driver has all the right moves.

By day, Luis Jimenez navigates his M4 bus along Manhattan's East Side.

But when he clocks out, the hefty 15-year veteran gets his groove on as a member of the Timeless Torches — the dance team for the WNBA's New York Liberty.

"It keeps your energy, everything you have to bring," said the Hamilton Heights native. "It's like a fountain of youth."

And it keeps him limber for the job, too.

"Helping people out driving the bus is the best thing in the world," he said. "I help the elderly with where they gotta go, give special need to them."

Even at 48 years old, no dance move is too complicated — Jimenez can break it down to disco, hip-hop and old-fashioned rock-and-roll.

"We bring it to the floor!" he said. "You name it, they teach us, we learn it."

Tina Fey saw them perform at a game — and later put them in a 2012 episode of 30 Rock, called "Dance Like Nobody's Watching."

In the skit, Fey's character, Liz Lemon, lives out her lifelong dream of dancing for the troupe.

Jiminez was discovered in 2007 when he was captured dancing on Gardenvision at Madison Square Garden.

He quickly became a fan favorite, and then decided to try out for the 12-person Torches.

"Fans come up to me and say how grateful they are to me, how joyful they get when I perform a move on the dance floor," he said. "It pays off."

His fellow drivers and supervisors also love to come to games and see him dance

"They go in and support me, they purchase tickets with their families," he said. "I'm so proud and so happy."
