Courteney Cox is the latest to enter the 80s dance trend craze with a dance she actually did in the 1980s.
The then unknown blue-eyed brunette created a sensation back in 1984, when Bruce Springsteen reached into the audience and pulled her on stage to be his dance partner toward the end of award winning music video.
The practice became a standard practice as the Ivor Novello Award winner traveled the world with the E Street Band on their Born in the USA tour.
Now forty years later, the former Friends star is showing she still has the moves that made her the envy of millions.
In a fun social media video, the actress, 59, is in her living room, wearing a teal hoodie, a white t-shirt and jeans.
