In honor of National Dance Week, we decided to bring you a list of some of our favorite sci-fi dance scenes because the only thing better than a monster, is one with the inclination to shake what its mama gave it.
Teen Wolf (1985)

As werewolf Scott Howard, Michael J. Fox did what few geeks had done before: start a dance craze at a high school prom.
Young Frankenstein (1974)

A hilarious dance scene worthy of this amazing film. Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle are spectacular.
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire (2005)

Ahh, first dances. I love the way the Yule Tide Ball brings out the hormones and awkward adolescence in the group.
Michael Jackson’s Thriller (1983)

I firmly believe this will never be outdone. Unless you’ve seen the Bollywood parody, but that’s another matter…
Casper (1995)

This is an entirely sweet moment in a film that was surprisingly good.
