Jodie Sweetin sent her fans into ecstasy by recreating one of her favorite dance routines from “Full House” over 30 years later.

Sweetin, now 42, teamed up with Mitchell Gerrard Johnson to recreate one of her most memorable moments as Stephanie Tanner on the popular sitcom.

Not only did they relearn their most famous choreography to Boyz II Men’s popular song Motownphilly, but they also tried to recreate every little detail. This includes Sweetin’s original wardrobe, including a black ruffled skirt, matching crop top and jacket.

An Instagram video shows the replica on one side and the original performance on the other, with both performing almost identically. Fans were happy to see Sweetin still rocking the dance floor in some of her most popular scenes from Full House.

This dance was first featured in the fifth season of the show in an episode titled “Gotta Dance,” which aired on November 5, 1991.

For the uninitiated, Full House is a classic American sitcom created by Jeff Franklin and starring Bob Saget. The series follows the journey of widowed father Danny Tanner as he enlists the help of his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and his childhood best friend Joey Gladstone in raising his three daughters.

The original broadcast ran from September 22, 1987 to May 23, 1995 and consisted of eight seasons. A sequel to the series, titled Fuller House, premiered on Netflix in 2016.

Reflecting on the experience, Sweetin explained that it is one of her best memories of being on the program. In an interview with Today in 2018, she said that it was friends behind the scenes as they were dancers at her local studio and for this episode, her own teacher created the choreography.

For Sweetin, it meant so much more because she was able to spend time with friends for about seven days while filming. She said, “It was really fun because they could come in for the week and I got to see all my little dance friends. And that was a number that they had already done, that they danced in the competition, and I just stepped in for the week and had to learn it.”

Her collaboration with Full House did not end with the end of the original series between 1987 and 1995. She later reprised the role of Stephanie Tanner in Fuller House, a Netflix reboot that ran for five seasons from 2016 to 2020. In this way, Jodie Sweetin and other members of the original cast such as Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber revived the Tanner family with its nostalgic appeal for new viewers, while retaining the charm of the original series.
