On the March 21, 2014 episode of The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon proclaimed dancing has been banned on the late night series. Why? To set up an epic Footloose-inspired dance number by Kevin Bacon. Bacon was on the show to talk about his series The Following and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Footloose and, of course, his response to the ban on dancing was to perform “Footloose.”

He even ended the performance wearing a red tuxedo!
