Talk about an oldie but a goodie. This performance from 2004, which was uploaded in 2006, and still getting comments as of this month will tear down the house!

Not only that, but this energetic retro dance style so known for being popular in the United States was brought to vibrant life by a group of Europeans. Score one for cultural appropriation!

In the performance, French dancers William Mauvais and Maéva Truntzer get sporadic thunderous applause from the audience.

Meanwhile, the beats are dropped by Swiss pianist Silvan Zingg, along with Nuno Alexandre on bass and Simon Shuffle Boyer on drums.

Uploaded to YouTube way back in 2006 before the days of high definition, nine years later the rip-roaring video has garnered over 6.8 million views and 9,000+ likes.

It also got about 240 dislikes, which presumably came from the villains of the movie/play Footloose. Seriously, who could dislike this one?
