Kevin Bacon proved that he's still got moves after dancing on the The Tonight Show in honor of Footloose's 30th anniversary.

The 55-year-old actor appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and taught millennials how to get down '80s-style.

As Fallon introduced Bacon as his first guest of the night, the host told audience members that dancing was now outlawed on The Tonight Show. The crowd booed, but Fallon vowed to uphold his new rule.

Bacon, naturally, wouldn't stand for it.

The actor resurrected Ren McCormack -- his character in Footloose -- by performing two iconic dance scenes from the classic 1984 film. Both were taken shot-for-shot from the movie.

Thanks to Bacon’s moves, Fallon ripped up his “Dancing Outlawed” scroll, and declared, “Dancing is now legal on 'The Tonight Show,' thanks to Kevin Bacon!” Watch Bacon bust a move in the video, above.
