The video below this story opens with attendees sitting at tables, waiting for the show to begin. They had no idea they were about to be treated to a dance routine that is both iconic and nostalgic.

The audience applauded as the eight pairs of dancers walked into the room and assumed their positions. The dancers seem a little unsure of themselves at first, but everything changes when the music starts.

Suddenly, the male dancers shocked everyone by flipping their partners and hoisting them on their shoulders, mimicking the famous dance moves from the film.
