Courteney Cox Recreates 'Dancing In The Dark' Video Moves
Though most of the popular videos doing this trend are using audio from Bronski Beat's 1984 song, "Smalltown Boy," Cox took things to the next level, as she got her shining moment before stardom in Bruce Springsteen's music video for "Dancing in the Dark" that same year.

On Sunday's (June 9) TikTok, Courteney posted a clip of her mocking the trending dance and song at first. Looking away from the camera and kind of bored, the Shining Vale star dances to the "Smalltown Boy" breakout hit. She added text over the clip that read: "Asking my mom how she danced in the 80’s."
After just a few seconds of attempting the dance, the actress shakes her head in disapproval. She removes her blue zip-up hoodie to unveil the same Bruce Springsteen t-shirt she wore in the music video for "Dancing in the Dark." Cox also captioned the video, "1980’s dancing… in the dark."
Doing similar moves to the ones she busts out in her debut music video performance, her TikTok video then cuts to the clip of her dancing with Bruce on stage in the music video. Watch the fun throwback clip below:
Longtime fans of the Scream star expressed their excitement in the comments section of her impromptu performance. "I’m old enough to remember you were in a Bruce Springsteen video [sobbing emoji]," wrote one fan. "This is easily the best one yet!!! A real cutie pie dancing in the dark!!" added another. Meanwhile, a third fan declared, "You win this trend [red heart emoji]."
More fans offloaded their praise and wrote things like, "Bruce and Court, iconic and core memories for all of us !" Another fan added, "I LOVE IT!!!! [red heart emoji] I remember watching as a kid and thought Courtney was the PRETTIEST GIRL Ever!!!!!!" A third swooned, "This video made my entire year [red heart emojis]." One fan who shares Cox's home state commented, "As an Alabamian myself, it was a big deal to see 'Courtney Cox, you know, that girl from Birmingham' in the Bruce Springsteen video." Meanwhile, one fan said, "We all wanted to be THAT girl onstage with Bruce. [red heart emoji]."
Courteney often has fun on the video-sharing app. As we reported just a few months ago, the actress took part in a hilarious Gen Z transformation.
