Grease is a musical that many of us know well. Even if you haven’t watched it, you might be familiar with some of the catchy tunes from that classic 70s film.
When teenage girls everywhere first saw the charming Danny Zuko in his iconic leather jacket, it certainly made a lot of hearts skip a beat.
The beloved movie hit theaters in the summer of 1978. Who could forget the tough guy Danny as he fell for the sweet Sandy Olsson from Australia, all while being surrounded by the Pink Ladies and showcasing some impressive dance moves?
When summer came to an end, Sandy headed back to Australia, and they both believed they would never cross paths again. That was until Sandy appeared at a football game, revealing that she was now a student at his school!
True to his mischievous nature, he acted as if their summer romance was a thing of the past and tried to keep his composure, but it didn’t take long for him to be captivated by the beautiful Sandy once more.
It feels like just yesterday that I saw the movie, and the songs and dance moves are still vivid in my memory. It looks like I’m not alone in this!
John Travolta, who portrayed Danny all those years back, recently appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of Grease.
Travolta shared the story behind one of the dance sequences in Grease. He mentioned to Fallon, “I was raised on all these fun novelty dances. For the song ‘You’re the One That I Want’ at the end of Grease, they needed a dance move. I suggested, ‘Why not use the four corners dance we used to do?’ The choreographer replied, ‘Show me how it’s done.’”
Fallon was captivated, and as the crowd erupted in cheers, he turned to Travolta and asked if he would share it with him.
With the live music from Grease playing, excitement filled the air, and hearts began to race once more.
John Travolta is ready to prove to everyone that he still has what it takes, and he certainly didn’t disappoint his fans.
Take a look at the video below to see John Travolta show everyone those moves we all remember.
