In order to celebrate the youthful spark of creativity that Ren McCormack accomplished in this brazilliant 1984 classic—we’ve decided to celebrate with a dance!

The Carlton is a classic for anyone looking to master upper body moves.
The Lean Back is for the beginner dancer.
The Cabbage Patch is spherically awesome.
If you loved Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and 98 Degrees you know The Boy Band all too well.
You can easily achieve The Britney with a school girl outfit and some arm ingenuity.
The MC Hammer shuffled its way into our hearts.
An easy wedding dance classic comes in the form of The Electric Slide .
The Sprinkler can put out any fire with its cuteness.
The Worm makes our soul slither with ’90s delight.

Happy Anniversary, Footloose, and happy dancing!
