Technically that's not true. John Travolta wasn't a "Natural" dancer. Natural dancers were Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Sammy Davis Jr., etc., etc. When John was offered the role of Tony Manera in Saturday Night Fever, he turned it down because he couldn't dance 😕 The director told him not to worry and that they would teach him and he said he literally had two left feet. Again they told him not to worry and got Deney Terrio (The famous dance choreographer who later worked on Dance Fever) to teach John Travolta how to dance. He really taught him well because from 1977 to present day, John hasn't forgotten what he was taught 🙂
@@drock6966 well maybe he wasn’t a natural dancer, but definitely had natural potential, which needed to be brought out and refined, but once he got it down, he got it down. Like a hidden talent.
@@CBendana Natural potential? 🤔 He learned to dance very well after being taught by Danny Terrio and has retained those lessons. He admitted himself that he had two left feet and couldn't dance AT ALL. So the whole "Natural Potential" thing is a bit of a stretch 🙂 Let's just say that he learned to dance and can still hold his own on the dance floor.
@@drock6966 thats what natural potential is, just because you learn it doesn’t necessarily mean you will be good or great at it and definitely doesn’t mean you will retain it. Not everyone is like Michael Jackson that if you give him a step and a beat he can just outperform professional dancers who’ve been doing it for years. Dancing with the stars is a good example cuz everybody is given the same amount of time to prepare for dances, and week after week, you see who is getting it down more than others.
Classic scene. Great movie. For those of us who saw it in the theater and witnessed the effect it and the soundtrack had on culture, just like his previous two hits (Saturday Night Fever and Grease), we were able to remember it as a great way to start the 80s. You just knew it was going to be a great decade.
I remember going to the drive-in to see a triple header with Travolta Saturday Night Fever first then Grease and then Urban Cowboy was the main feature..... good time
La Porte, Texas! My mom n dad took us to Gilleys when we were kids back in the 80’s...nothing like kids, video arcade games, country music, dancing, cigarette smoke and adults drinking all in one great place! Lol
I'm from Červený Kostelec, Czech Repulic - Central Europe. When I was little boy (5 or 6 years old) there was free country concert of czech country singers sometimes. I was there with my dad 4 times. Now I'm 16 and still love country & american way of life. (Czech country singers have covered many U.S. legendary songs) 🇨🇿🇺🇸
I drove with my new bride from Long Island New York all the way to Pasadena and then on to California for a honeymoon and spent Friday night at Gilley’s and had an awesome time. 40 years married and we still think of the time that we went there, great memories.
Wow that’s some driving and I sure hope y’all had fun ma Cher, how could you pass up coming to ragin cajien land. Y’all need to stop by and see us we have the best music ever. And many famous musicians and singers from her. Give me a shout out and I’ll tell you where to go. In the mean time listen to ma Cher Zachary Richard the best Cajun singer ever. And best songwriter. He sings every genre you can think of and speaks fluently our language. Canadians love him. I love his sing Reve, the cajien war song, it means wake up and was a warning the Bretagne (brits) were coming. But he has some awesome dance music too. My defan papa (departed sainted father) knew some very famous people that became famous singers and he rode a bus with Elvis Presley when he was at Louisiana Hayride.
John Travolta is probably one of the best actors ever. None of that same guy in a different role like most. He immerses himself in the story of every role he's played. Debra Winger is no slouch either, said she's retired.
Yes! Gilley’s in Pasadena, Texas! My mom and dad used to dance there and us kids played video games back in the early 80’s…back when they used to smoke and drink and we’d run around the place and watch people try to ride the mechanical bull! Good times! We grew up in La Porte, Texas..about 10 miles from Gilley’s!
Mauricio Labra na this is what white texans use to dance like some still do but its less , its weird how mexicans in texas now have night clubs where they dress like this and dance similar too but with music in spanish
@@elguerokabron so called cowboy culture was influenced by mexican- tejano culture, so it's more like "cowboys" dancing similar to mexican- tejano culture but in English... ..
Travolta has always had an instinct to move with the music. He’s got an excellent rhythm an excellent sense of direction on the dance floor. Can do just about anything every single time. Such an awesome actor.. and dancer too
When this movie came my wife and I seen it and loved it. We were just starting out our lives together. I lost her to cancer a few years ago and it’s still hard to watch this without her.
Gotta love this movie Y’all . The hardest thing about it, are the memories that come with it. Always wanting to be a cowboy and learn how to dance just like this perfect couple. Never know right, maybe one day I will learn, but in the meanwhile I already found my sissy. This movie has been getting thumbs up since the late 70s 👍🏻🕺🏼
This film brings me back to a simpler less complicated time. They didn't have much money but they were madly in love and young with their whole lives ahead of them. John looked so sweet and innocent. What a catch he was. That trailer they lived in would have been spotless if I were his wife. To think Cissy almost took off with that jerk until he smacked the hell out of her. She than realized what she really had and went back ASAP.
Brings back great memories of this era, although I lived in Corpus Christi, Texas at the time. Can't find good two step dancing in tourist bars, have to go where local Texans go to dance.
Love this movie it reminds me of liveing out in Wisconsin and going to the bars in the mid.west those were the best days of my life John t.was awsome he's so good looking
Love this movie one of my all time favorites and it’s rare to here a 14 year old say this is one of his favorite movies some kids don’t grow up watching classic movies like urban cowboy
First time I ever two-stepped in a honky tonk was at Billy Bob's in Forth Worth Texas, with an old biker man named Bobby who I met at The White Elephant Saloon. Definitely a memorable time!
Thanks to this scene and this song when I first saw UC age 12... fast forward to college I found myself a VFW in SW Missouri and a good old country boy to teach me how to 2 step and 3 step! Now I teach every male friend how to 2 step (on the west coast where NO ONE knows how to 2 step)!.
I was young in the 90's and 2000's... I had so many girls asking this same scenario at rodeo nights and Graham's central station.. i never saw urban cowboy until many years later... After seeing it.. now i see all the words and the play they came toward me.. it all makes sense now.. lol..just my experience
My dad was an extra in the end of the movie During the dancing scene he was the man in the black cowboy hat dancing with the lady in all tan leather He was wearing dark shades with the big black bushy beard
Love this movie, I wrote a song about it. written by Ramona Byrd I watched him for awhile He flashed that 1000 watt smile It reminded me of a certain style It was like that movie Debra Winger starred in The one where Travolta called her Darlin something told me not to put my whole heart in I just wanted a cowboy to call me darlin I always wanted a cowboy to call me darlin Always wanted a white picket fence and a flower garden Like a dream I could feel myself fallin Always wanted a cowboy to call me darlin Music, dancing, good good times we went together like tequila and limes Break ups and Make ups, Smiles and tears A one night stand turned into 10 years Time passes and your feelings fled but memories of you still dance in my head I always wanted a cowboy to call me darlin Always wanted a white picket fence and a flower garden Like a dream I could feel myself fallin Always wanted a cowboy to call me darlin The mourners have all gone, and it’s just you here I just want to ask, one last thing of you dear Ashes to ashes, cry, if you must But before you leave my grave, Write “Darlin” in the dust.
What a great movie, John is a great dancer. I would love to dance with him with my dress on. 👗👗I give this video a few thumbs up. 👍👍 Now here is my love to John Travolta and a few kisses from Kathy💘💘💋💋👩👩
Travolta is like a natural athlete who can play any sport. But instead he’s a natural dancer that can dance to anything and make it look easy.
Yup! 🧡

They sure don’t make them like you anymore 😢❤
I grew up on Long Island back in the 60’s and 70’s
John cold on that 2 step. He's a natural dancer.
Urban Cowboy has been my favorite movie since I seen it as a child.
John Travolta is probably one of the best actors ever. None of that same guy in a different role like most. He immerses himself in the story of every role he's played. Debra Winger is no slouch either, said she's retired.
Absolutely, the best first meeting encounter scene ever in any movie, in my humble opinion.
I agree. In screenwriting this moment is called the “Meet Cute”.
One of the best movie soundtracks ever
Second that
Without a doubt. Always takes me back.
That's perfect classic Texas Two-Step. They danced it perfectly. A lot don't these days.
Except he’s dancing it horribly and he looks like he’s only been dancing a week but ok lol
@@eric-schleienyou sound jealous.
@@eric-schleienWow you obviously don’t know the correct way to 2 step
The 80's..... a great decade. 🤘😎
💗💗💗💗💝💗💗
sixties were better
It was filmed in 79 and released in1980 So its actually a 70s and 80s A Movie FUN Fact
THE BEST, 1980'S
Yes, it was!!!
They were a perfect match, I'm glad they finally realized that.
yup
I would of left her for pam lol.
@@penknight8532 Yeah and she had a penthouse in downtown Houston instead of that old ratty trailer.
They were toxic together
Debra Winger is such a great actress. In this movie she was great but in Officer and a Gentleman...just wow.
Just think if Travolta hadn't turned down Ofc and a Gentleman....
Can’t take my eyes off Debra Winger in her prime. Wow!
She’s mesmerizing.
This man is just simply made of rhythm. Wow.
This is such a smooth two-step no unnecessary twirling flips just feel the beat of the song and dance.
I rem talking to my friend about this movie and I'll be damn I see that red ♥️
Lmao unnecessary? It’s all fun. Ur too square for a square dance
One of the greatest movies of all time.🤘
One of my favorites! They did Gilleys right!! And yes im a Texan and i approve!! We love this movie and the dancing and bull riding!!
Shantella, are there places you can go in texas and 2-step?
The Shit Kickin was real back then
Yes! Gilley’s in Pasadena, Texas! My mom and dad used to dance there and us kids played video games back in the early 80’s…back when they used to smoke and drink and we’d run around the place and watch people try to ride the mechanical bull! Good times! We grew up in La Porte, Texas..about 10 miles from Gilley’s!
2 Yankees from New York acting as Texans. They knocked it out of the park!
Robrmz
Enough Said!
Debra is from Ohio
John Travolta is from New Jersey.
Mauricio Labra na this is what white texans use to dance like some still do but its less , its weird how mexicans in texas now have night clubs where they dress like this and dance similar too but with music in spanish
@@elguerokabron so called cowboy culture was influenced by mexican- tejano culture, so it's more like "cowboys" dancing similar to mexican- tejano culture but in English...

No cell phone... no pager... no sitting at home on your computer.
The good old days.
Travolta has always had an instinct to move with the music. He’s got an excellent rhythm an excellent sense of direction on the dance floor. Can do just about anything every single time. Such an awesome actor.. and dancer too
When this movie came my wife and I seen it and loved it. We were just starting out our lives together. I lost her to cancer a few years ago and it’s still hard to watch this without her.
I feel you. ❤. I can't fathom losing my childhood sweetheart wife and I am 74. This movie was so romantic and real life.
I'm so sorry.
Debra Winger was and still is so cute and gorgeous.
John Travolta go from Disco nights in New York to Texas nights country Two- stepping . God-bless that talent..
The best scene ever in any movie , in my humble opinion.

I love this movie, saw it back in 1980.
My two All Time favorite cowboys in "wrangler jeans"...George Strait and BUD! Love, love, love this movie. Such great memories.
This film brings me back to a simpler less complicated time. They didn't have much money but they were madly in love and young with their whole lives ahead of them. John looked so sweet and innocent. What a catch he was. That trailer they lived in would have been spotless if I were his wife. To think Cissy almost took off with that jerk until he smacked the hell out of her.

I love this movie. Love the music and love story. My favorite movie of John’s . Urban Cowboy is a masterpiece!
Damn that cherokee fiddle!!!!!
Damn good song especially to dance to, would love to give you a twirl on the dance floor to it. 😏👍
Brings back great memories of this era, although I lived in Corpus Christi, Texas at the time. Can't find good two step dancing in tourist bars, have to go where local Texans go to dance.
Back when they made good movies.
ANOTHER GOOD 70s movie filmed in79 and released in the 80s with 70s and 80s songs

When you realize what your music did for people. Helping two kindred spirits become one. Over and over again.
It will be a while before we can do this sort of thing.
Love this movie it reminds me of liveing out in Wisconsin and going to the bars in the mid.west those were the best days of my life John t.was awsome he's so good looking
2020 and this movie still never gets old for me... How about you??
That movie made me a two-steppin' master monster right outa high school into the bars. Thanx JT.
“Do you know two-step?”
“You bet”
“Wanna prove it?”
That’s my favorite line
Alright.
We can dance
can you do the layback mombo!
I have this scene ?He looks so good in a cowboy hat
She was just waiting for him to ask her to dance but he just stood there lol.. good for her to get him on the dance floor. 😉
Love this movie one of my all time favorites and it’s rare to here a 14 year old say this is one of his favorite movies some kids don’t grow up watching classic movies like urban cowboy

Same.this was dads movie.mom and dad were born in texas.im a oregoinian but texas by blood and ancestry.still got lot of family there

*Todo un clásico....!* ✍️
Reminds me of my youth. Man we had fun back then.
This is a great classic scene..😊
One of my favorite movies! Classic!!
This movie gets better every time I watch it.
I love their introduction
First time I ever two-stepped in a honky tonk was at Billy Bob's in Forth Worth Texas, with an old biker man named Bobby who I met at The White Elephant Saloon. Definitely a memorable time!
I’ve been to both places!! 👍
This will always be one of the greatest movies. John Travolta is good in this movie. Plus it has great country and western music in it.
One of my favorite movies of all time!
One of my fav movies! 💙👌 who with me ?
love this movie so much and every time I see it makes me wanna see all of his movies again
One of the greatest movies of all time

One of my favorite Movies ever of all times. Vaquero Urbano!
My dad was an extra in the end of the movie During the dancing scene he was the man in the black cowboy hat dancing with the lady in
all tan leather He was wearing dark shades with the big black bushy beard
Lucky enough to actually have lived this life. What an era.
I am obsessed with this movie for about 30 years now.
Love him in that movie!!
Love this movie, I wrote a song about it. written by Ramona Byrd
I watched him for awhile
He flashed that 1000 watt smile
It reminded me of a certain style
It was like that movie Debra Winger starred in
The one where Travolta called her Darlin
something told me not to put my whole heart in
I just wanted a cowboy to call me darlin
I always wanted a cowboy to call me darlin
Always wanted a white picket fence and a flower garden
Like a dream I could feel myself fallin
Always wanted a cowboy to call me darlin
Music, dancing, good good times
we went together like tequila and limes
Break ups and Make ups, Smiles and tears
A one night stand turned into 10 years
Time passes and your feelings fled
but memories of you still dance in my head
I always wanted a cowboy to call me darlin
Always wanted a white picket fence and a flower garden
Like a dream I could feel myself fallin
Always wanted a cowboy to call me darlin
The mourners have all gone, and it’s just you here
I just want to ask, one last thing of you dear
Ashes to ashes, cry, if you must
But before you leave my grave,
Write “Darlin” in the dust.
My boys would watch this movie over and over. We still quote lines from it 😊
Loved this movie. Loved the soundtrack!
Sissy is so boss. She made the first move. She never backed down on riding the bull.
Gosh, I had completely forgotten that whole urban cowboy, boot-scootin' thing that swept the nation for about 10 minutes.
More like 10 years.
THE DYED IN THE WOOL, REAL FOR SURE COWBOY
