Mar 16, 2020
Hollywood star John Travolta appeared on The Tonight Show teaching host Jimmy Fallon the iconic four-step dance to "You're the One I Want" from the movie 'Grease'.
In 1978, the musical Grease hit theaters screens and turned out to be a massive box office hit. Anyone who had thought 1950's nostalgia and big-screen musicals weren't in trend anymore learned audiences felt a different way. Both John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John further established themselves as 1970's icons in the film.

Even though John Travolta isn't asked about Grease as much as he is about his other movies such as 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Welcome Back, Kotter'. He recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and performed his iconic dance moves from 'Grease' proving that he still knows the routine by heart.
It has actually been over four decades since Travolta had last performed these moves. Perhaps he hasn't because no one asked him. Travolta certainly showed enthusiasm for dancing when Fallon asked him. And Fallon, himself, even joined in with the dance number. Fallon's evident love for the classic song-and-dance routine may have delivered the necessary inspiration to Travolta.
Travolta's agreement to perform the dance routine caught the eye of the entertainment press. Video clips from Fallon's show appeared online and reached more fans. Right now, the world nods its approval at Travolta. He hasn't lost a single step in 40 years.
Hopefully, Travolta's dance day leads people to remember his classic performance in the wonderful film Grease.
Travolta's fame did not last too long in the 1980s. Urban Cowboy scored a box office hit, but his other films didn't do well. 1994's Pulp Fiction finally saw the actor make a comeback. Today, people see Travolta for the icon he is. And they spend time rewatching his classic films – Grease is among them. The film truly deserves a "special collector's edition" release.
