It's crazy to think that it's been 40 years since Grease premiered in New York City. To celebrate the occasion, John Travolta appeared on 'The Tonight Show' with Jimmy Fallon and decided to teach Jimmy one of the signature dance moves from Grease.

 

"Like with Pulp Fiction, I grew up with all these kind of novelty dances," Travolta said. "So in Grease, they needed a step for 'You're the One That I Want' at the end. I said, 'Well, we used to do the Four Corners – why don't we do that?' The choreographer said, 'Show it to me,' and I did."

Travolta comfortably slid back into the belt-grabbing hip swivel, instructing an excited Fallon on the right-left-back-back approach.

Recently, Travolta reflected on the everlasting popularity of the film during a special screening of the film at the 71st annual Cannes Festival.

"This is a film that's so timeless that keeps on giving to each new generation," Travolta said, Entertainment Tonight reports. "When people watch this, they just get happy. They want to become the characters they're watching. They want to sing along with it, they want to dance, they want to be part of this film. When mutual enthusiasm comes together and creates an environment you can create almost anything – and we created Grease."
