John Travolta Proves He’s Still Got It with a Playful Dance Lesson for James Corden & Aaron Taylor-Johnson

John Travolta has aged like fine wine, as true legends do. At 65, he gave James Corden a cheeky dance lesson to show he’s still got the moves. The episode kicked off with Corden asking English power couple Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson about their Halloween transformation into Uma Thurman and John Travolta’s iconic Pulp Fiction characters. This led to Sam and Corden reminiscing about the beloved film, especially the famous dance sequence featuring Travolta and Thurman.

Corden then asked Travolta to give them a dance lesson. Known for his iconic performances in *Saturday Night Fever* and *Grease,* Travolta once dominated the dance floor, and he proved he still had the moves. He taught the others classic dance steps like the mashed potato, the hip shaker, the twist, the swim, and, of course, the Batman. Despite the simplicity of the routine, Travolta’s charisma made it an incredibly entertaining segment to watch.

On December 5, 2019, an episode of *The Late Late Show with James Corden* featured John Travolta teaching a dance class. The heartwarming video quickly became a hit, amassing 18.9 million views on Corden’s YouTube channel. Fans were thrilled to see Travolta back on the dance floor, with comments like, “You never lose class, John Travolta,” and “John Travolta should be recognized as a national treasure.” Many expressed their admiration for him, calling him charming, legendary, strong, and full of positivity.

One of the most iconic scenes in cinema history is the dance sequence between Travolta and Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino’s *Pulp Fiction.* In the film, Travolta plays career criminal Vincent Vega, who is tasked with entertaining Mia Wallace, the boss’s wife, played by Thurman. When they arrive at a venue, Mia insists on entering a dance competition, leading them to perform to Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell.” The moves Travolta taught on Corden’s show are the same ones that made the original scene unforgettable.

In the Corden segment, Travolta shared some fascinating insights into his role in shaping the iconic dance scene in *Pulp Fiction*. “Quentin was determined that we both do the twist, which is a really fun dance, but there’s only so long you can watch someone doing the twist,” Travolta explained.

“I suggested to Quentin that when I was growing up, there were novelty dances like the swim and the Batman,” Travolta continued. “Maybe we should mix it up a bit.” Persuaded by Travolta’s suggestion, the director agreed, and the legendary dance scene was born.
