In the scene from the movie, Ariel and Ren leave their small town, where dancing is banned, to line dance at a bar with their friends and fellow patrons. The group enthusiastically grooves to “Fake I.D.” using the same choreography Hough and McGrath showcased in their social media post. Footloose follows Ren as he moves from Boston to a small Southern town, where he protests the ban against dancing. Dennis Quaid (Reverend Shaw Moore), Andie MacDowell (Vi Moore), Miles Teller (Willard), Ziah Colon (Rusty), Kim Dickens (Lulu Warnicker), Ser’Darius Blain (Woody) and Patrick John Flueger (Chuck) rounded out the cast of the 2011 film.
