Alfonso Ribeiro invented the Carlton Dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and it was influenced by Eddie Murphy's White Man Dance. It was also inspired by Courteney Cox's dance in the Dancing in the Dark music video. It became one of the most well-known dances of the 1990s.
This was majorly due to Ribeiro's silly, enjoyable motions. Recently, Will Smith and Tatyana Ali made a TikTok video. They performed their famous Fresh Prince of Bel-Air dance-off in a TikTok video.
This happened on March 13, 2025, and was made to the tune of Anxiety by Doechii. Doechii also joined Smith and took the place of his reflection in the mirror. This romantic moment took an unexpected turn.
