Released in 1978, Grease launched John Travolta into superstardom, immortalizing the dance moves he performed as Danny Zuko. To celebrate the musical’s 40-year milestone, Travolta appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” where he taught Fallon the celebrated “four corners” step used during the iconic “You’re the One That I Want” number.
Travolta recalled growing up with novelty dances and how he suggested the four corners step for the finale of Grease. The move’s simple, catchy rhythm perfectly captured the energy of the time.
As Travolta led Fallon through the steps, the studio erupted in applause, including fans watching at home who fondly remembered the film’s unforgettable dance sequences.
The appearance helped re-introduce the magic of Grease and demonstrated Travolta’s timeless talent as both actor and dancer.
