Cobra Kai: 10 Insane Details You Definitely Missed

9. Of Course He Can Dance

In the episode, Pulpo, Johnny and Carmen go on a date to a Mexican restaurant, oblivious Daniel and Amanda are having dinner there. Worse still, there's limited seats in the restaurant, forcing them to sit together. The confrontation starts hostile but eventually, Daniel and Johnny warm to each other and let bygones be bygones. After the meal, Daniel starts dancing with Amanda, with Johnny jeering at him with the line, "Of course he can dance."

Now, this line is meant to convey Johnny's jealousy that Daniel is seemingly capable of besting his rival at virtually everything. However, anyone familiar with Dancing with the Stars shouldn't have been too surprised with Ralph Macchio's moves on the dance floor. After all, he starred in Season 12 of the long-running game show back in 2011.

Macchio proved to be quite the versatile dancer on Dancing with the Stars, flawlessly performing the cha-cha, the samba, the waltz, and the foxtrot. Interestingly, the last dance he performed before being eliminated was the salsa; the same dance he performs with Amanda in this Cobra Kai episode.
