Item deleted as it is WRONG ! Wife was ELIZABETH ALLEN, not Allan in this movie

Edited: "The Carlton Dance" was a dance movement that Alfonso Ribeiro did as "Carlton Banks" in the 1990-1996 NBC tv series "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" which starred Will Smith in the title role. Ribeiro danced to the Tom Jones song "It's Not Unusual". It was a take-off of Courtney Cox's dance (as a fan pulled out of the concert audience to dance on stage) in Bruce Springsteen's 1984 video for "Dancing in the Dark".
