20 Greatest Dance Scenes In Movie History

20. Twist And Shout - Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Starting off with a movie that is neither about dance or music, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off captured the hearts of audiences back in the 1980s as it played out every highschooler’s dream of skipping class for a day to live out all the wildest adventures they want. The movie was a triumph thanks to John Hughes depiction of teenagers as young adults with a mind of their own, rather than just kids.

With a strong group of characters to drive the film along, the story is filled with lots of delightful twists and turns, from the art gallery scene to Jeanie’s encounter with the boy at the police station.

That’s why the Twist and Shout sequence has a greater pay off, because it’s completely unpredictable, and all the more entertaining for it. Not only does it showcase the confidence and charisma of the titular character, but it oversees all different groups of people coming in unity to put life’s troubles on hold in order to share a happy moment in time together.
