Courteney Cox Recreates ‘Dancing in the Dark’ Video Cameo For 1980s Mom Dance TikTok Trend


Courteney Cox recreated her cameo from Bruce Springsteen's 1984 'Dancing in the Dark' video for the viral 1980s mom dance TikTok trend.

The Friends star hopped onto the viral “asking my mom how she danced in the ’80s” TikTok trend on Sunday (June 9) when she posted a video featuring her Reagan-era moves by throwing back to the moment that started it all for her. While most of the moms who’ve responded have danced to British synth pop trio Bronski Beats’ “Smalltown Boy,” Cox’s video opened with her doing a classic 1980s arm shimmy before she appeared to have a change of heart. The video directed by famed auteur Brian De Palma was shot during a pair of Springsteen shows in St. Paul, Minn. and the rocker pulled the then 20-year-old Cox from the audience to dance with him onstage, not knowing that she was an actress who was chosen during a casting call in New York.
