It's been 40 years since Grease first hit theaters, but John Travolta has still got it.

To celebrate the anniversary of the classic 1978 musical, Travolta taught Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon one of the most iconic dances from the movie. In the final scene, characters Danny and Sandy strut around the school carnival singing and dancing. Travolta explained that one part of the groovy routine they performed is called "the Four Corners"-and it was all his idea.

"I grew up with all these novelty dances, so in Grease they needed a step for that "You're the One That I Want" [scene] at the end," Travolta recalled. "So I said, 'Well we used to do the Four Corners, why don't we do that?' So the choreographer said show it to me, and I did."

The 64-year-old actor showed off the signature step on stage as he attempted to teach Jimmy the choreography. Look out Danny Zuko, because Travolta has some serious moves!

Watch him perform the original routine from four decades ago in the video below, and skip to 2:35 to compare the exact steps from then and now. If you want our opinion, his dancing proves that age is just a number!
