Courteney Cox<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>can still dance like it\u2019s 1984. The actress, 59, re-enacted her moves from\u00a0Bruce Springsteen\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>classic video for the\u00a0Born in the U.S.A.\u00a0<\/em>hit \u201cDancing in the Dark\u201d in a hilarious Instagram video on Sunday, June 9. The clip is captioned with the phrase \u201cAsking my mom how she danced in the 80\u2019s [sic].\u201d Courteney showed that she\u2019s still got it!<\/p>\n

At the start of the clip, Courteney was wearing a turquoise zip-up sweater and a pair of jeans and doing some simple dance moves over generic 80s-sounding music. She then shakes her head, and a record scratches. She unzips her sweatshirt to reveal that she\u2019s wearing the same white Springsteen shirt that she wore in the music video.\u00a0Clarence Clemons\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>iconic saxophone solo can be heard, and then she does the dance moves she does in the video, before cutting to the clip of her dancing on stage with the Boss in the\u00a0Brian de Palma<\/strong>-directed music video.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the comment section, so many people loved that Courteney\u00a0 was making reference to her part in the video. Even though Courteney has gone on to so many other roles, the \u201cDancing in the Dark\u201d video was one of her first breakout appearances. The video was part of the first night of Bruce\u2019s legendary\u00a0Born in the U.S.A.\u00a0<\/em>tour.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Scream\u00a0<\/em>actress has opened up about the early career breakthrough on a few occasions. She recalled going to the audition and being nervous in a 2017 appearance on\u00a0The Off Camera Show<\/em><\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m in the right place, cause I can barely touch my toes,\u201d she said. \u201cI remember having a conversation with Brian de Palma, and I was really nervous. He just talked to me, and then he said, \u2018Will you dance?’\u201d<\/p>\n

Courteney continued and said that there was going to be a longer plot that was cut from the video, but Brian told her that Bruce would pluck one of three actresses out of the audience. She admitted that she was hoping that it wouldn\u2019t be her dancing in front of 30,000 people. Since then, she\u2019s credited it as a major turning point in her career. \u201cIt got me in the door to so many places,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
