"Waited 35 years for this dance to trend” - Will Smith recreates Fresh Prince dance with co-star Tatyana Ali

Hollywood star Will Smith is taking his fans on a trip down memory lane with his iconic dance from his show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Smith hopped on to a trend and showed off his dance moves. What made it even more special was his reunion with his former co-star Tatyana Ali.

The two actors starred together on the 90s sitcom. They played cousins and had a close bond on screen. In the show, Ashley looked up to Will as a big brother. They are also close in real life and often hang out together.

The duo recreated the iconic scene from the sitcom in which Ashley put on a pair of headphones and danced in her bedroom. Will knocks on the door, but she does not listen to him. He then enters the room and copies his little sister.

In the recreated version, the duo gave it an interesting twist. They dance to the track Anxiety, and its singer Doechii also joins them.

Sharing the clip, Will Smith mentioned how he waited for more than three decades for this dance to trend.

"Waited 35 years for this dance to trend."

Ahead of their reunion, Smith shared the original clip from the 90s show and tagged Ali and Doechi, mentioning that he is following the trend and is in love with it. He wrote,

"I’ve been watching y’all and every video has been better than the last!! Love that track @doechii. Yo @tatyanaali remember this?"

The Bad Boys actor's fans now believe that he was hinting at a Fresh Prince reunion.
