Alfonso Ribeiro Does The Carlton Dance In A Giant Flash Mob

Think Carlton still has the moves to pull off his trademark dance? The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Alfonso Ribeiro proved he does when he participated in the World's Largest Simultaneous Flash Mob. Check out the video, which includes a medley of dances, including Ribeiro's famous "Carlton dance."

According to the caption beneath the video, the "World's Largest Simultaneous Flash Mob" spanned hundreds of cities across the U.S. and Canada, and featured the same dance done on the same day at the same exact time. The video below has the dance lead by Alfonso Ribeiro, known affectionately for his role as Carlton in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Naturally, the dance begins and ends with the signature Carlton dance…

It's comforting to me to see that Ribeiro hasn't lost it over the years. He's still got the moves, working it to the Tom Jones song "It's Not Unusual," a tune I doubt Fresh Prince fans can hear without thinking of Carlton.

The flash mob, which took place on April 21, was done to promote the Body by Vi Challenge, "America's fastest growing weight loss and fitness Challenge."

Since we brought it up…
