Carlton

This dance is named after the character that made it famous: Carlton Banks from the show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. When interviewed by Time magazine, Alfonso Ribeiro, the actor who played Carlton, said that the dance was mostly improvised but that it was based off of Courtney Cox in Bruce Springsteen's video Dancing In The Dark.

In Action

This is the aforementioned Bruce Springsteen video. Courtney starts dancing at the very end around 3:39.

This is Alfonso Ribeiro dancing on the show Dancing With The Stars with his partner. They do the Carlton around 0:53. We had to include this video because not only do they kill it, but Alfonso wins his season of DWTS.
