Dance History Lesson
Time for another trip on the time machine. We are going back 35 years to year 1976. Disco was near its peak, so what better way to go back than with one of the best dance scenes ever and the #1 hit "You Should Be Dancing" by the Bee Gees.
In case you did not know, JT's partner is none other than Fran "The Nanny" Drescher. She played the role of Connie in the movie. Haha, she is pissed. Hand on her hip while Travolta drops it like its hot.
Are you ready? Push the "play" button to begin your dance lesson.
