The Screen Actors Guild strike officially ended on Thursday, and actor Kevin Bacon found himself doing a very familiar dance to celebrate the occasion.
Bacon posted a delightful video on social media of him dancing in a barn to Kenny Loggins’ theme song from Footloose, giving movie fans a throwback to the 1984 film that Bacon starred in.
While Bacon wasn’t officially reprising his role of rebellious dancing teen Ren McCormack, he did show off the same boot-scootin’ boogie moves that helped christen his career way back when.
We’re all relieved that Hollywood can get back on track, and Bacon’s nostalgic dance moves are a really nice way to ring in that return.

Hey, maybe Bacon will come back one day for another Footloose movie and help a bunch of teens stuck in a rigid small town break out of their shells and learn to cut loose and dance a little?
Well, that would be kind of silly, but since Hollywood is back, even unnecessary sequels can return back to production!
That’s something worth dancing about.
