Conan Learns to Dance

Watch as Andy calls Conan out for wiping his nose... and then we get to watch a clip of Conan getting dance lessons at different schools. I think this was from 1997.

[@marianne90240]

1997 was 19 years ago. We all looked much younger then too. Wish Conan were hosting The Tonight Show instead of Fallon, I prefer Conan's sense of humor to anyone else's. NBC's loss is TBS' gain.

[@ulmo5536]

Same, Conan's the best of them all

[@BaronVonBielski]

Conans actually funny, jimmy has writers for him he still mumbles and laughs at everything with a horrible fake laugh.

[@CalebMcFarland]

BaronVonBielski Jimmy doesn’t have a fake laugh.

[@CalebMcFarland]

Croc I was one.

[@MRCHEMICALBLUNT]

yes he does

[@Vladpryde]

And so it was: The String Dance was born.

The ballerina was all class playing along with Conan. Love her.

its funny because conan still beatboxes the same way in the car lyft with ice cube and kevin hart

That hip hop guy was rad - he got Conan 100%.

[@LordBoh]

Those were the golden times for conan and andy imho. Btw, props for the hiphop instructor for being such a great sport.

[@RoodeMenon]

+LordBoh hiphop guy was real smart. Evolve the art. Introduce the Conan.

Golden age of conan and andy started 1993 and still continues

Im watching this in a quiet library and its a very bad idea

The mythical string dance of Conan

[@Pinkh20lilly]

I love watching these older videos. I started watching Conan when I was 13 back in 96, he was my first celebrity crush. (what can I say I have a thing for funny redheads) Still faithfully watching Conan, still carrying my crush. :)

[@NC-ij9rb]

Me too!

[@Wings_of_foam]

Are you born in 82? Yo 81 here haha. God i feel old(ish)

[@broadwaybuff]

the hip-hop instructor made the string dance hot!

[@stenvallkrista]

Queen B it's hot when conan does it too XD

[@spdadventurer1754]

@@stenvallkrista yes

[@abhiu2398]

Actually, what many people probably don't know is that Conan is an expert tap dancer. He even seriously considered tap dancing as a career before he joined Second City as an improv artist.

[@Liberalbeaststl]

Conan was so cute in that video. I loved it.

[@SarFirraEdits]

Being an Indian do you really watch conan

[@arvindshastry1178]

@@SarFirraEdits Yes i watch Conan O'Brien's show regularly despite of me being an Indian

[@jongininikim5219]

wanted to comment that i agree with you that conan is cute. but omg what is this conversation? lmfao

[@bigjilms]

that hip hop instructor was cool and went along with Conan, he's chill

Conan is a pearl. Please save him, protect him.

This Hip Hop instructor is so COOL!

[@Timbowskie87]

I do stand in my bedroom...point..and scream "that's guys amazing"

[@thesprawl2361]

Kelvin the hip-hop dancer should have been a recurring guest - he's so likeable and into it. I wonder what happened to him.

[@Lyvetacus]

The ballerina that Conan was hitting on was so cute.

[@katemcgreal1085]

I could never imagine Seth Meyers doing something like this.

[@ToruKun1]

I know this clip is important because it's the birth of the string dance, but I keep coming back to it 'cuz Conan's so handsome in a tuxedo with his hair slicked back, he could be in a period film.

[@jonavuka]

Conan's street name: C-Thug

[@ddubs123]

The string dance has definitely been perfected over the years.

[@youmeantsomuch5672]

i love the hip hop instructor ik this is old but wish he taught me dance he seems chill dude

[@boomshizzIe]

I wonder how much laughter they have to cut out from these. Like if he starts fuckin around and EVERYBODY is just dying they probably have to refilm it to make him look more silly with everyone giving him weird looks.

[@rebeccawhite8459]

Love the hip hop... haha

[@shanustheanus]

after an embarrassing amount of time, clicking on related videos. I think it is safe to say, Conan is in more video uploads than anyone X].

[@uncle1886]

“How ya doin co-naan?”

[@Skyrilla]

Everything from 0:00 to 9:41 was amazing.

I immediately want to know more about that ballerina...

[@CamilleNadia]

GOT to love a man willing to make an ass out of himself like that. :)

[@actormertsirin]

I love Conan.

[@TheFunnybunny1230]

I would not have been able to handle that. I would be laughing so hard.

[@CarolinaMartinez-hc1if]

9:03, now I know where he got his go to hip movement haha!

[@bored312]

Do you think Conan knew what he was creating when he first grabbed those strings?

[@mootap15]

THE BEGINNING OF THE LEGENDARY STRING DANCE

[@aaron2709]

String pull!

[@MissUmiLove]

Yeah, Conan just went on another level in my book with that hip-hop dancing.

[@veggiesarefruits]

All jokes aside, Conan actually has great rhythm and body awareness, which is obvious to see when he dances spontaneously, as opposed to part of a "bit" where it's supposed to be self-deprecating. He's also revealed that he found out that he is literally 100% Irish, according to DNA testing, which is a win for white people everywhere! Lol

[@skYt9139]

And 20 years later he's still learning

[@MrJosiah12341]

Conan is the Best at saying. "Everybody Dance now!" lol

[@yolandagibson4080]

I burst into laugher when his pants fell off. Lmfao 😂 😂🤣 🤣

[@soravalentin6906]

9:02 The String Dance was still in its incomplete phase.

[@d.reidenwright7169]

I freakin' LOVE the thread dance. Did he actually make it up?

[@Hellfire8899]

aaron got thinner and andy got chubbier..

EEEK! Paul Pellicoro @ Dancesport! That's where I take my dance lessons!

The universe makes sense now. Conan was intentional to show reality, reality.

Was this the inception of the string dance ??!?

[@maxblackadder]

i wanted to see the forward moon walk!!

[@CamilleNadia]

What I like about this video is that for all his goofiness, Conan's pretty decent at the ballroom and hip-hop. And he's got BEAUTIFUL legs! :)

[@thesprawl2361]

That's the least 'street' street-dancer I've ever seen. He's brilliant but he looks like something from Strictly Ballroom.

[@bobbisue313]

Why does he have to be street tho? He's a dance instructor. Not a drug dealer

[@wwalkerproductions]

conan's got moves

[@nomellocreampig]

I've seen 4 comments with people asking for names of songs and people replying "Darude- Sandstorm"... The future is doomed with idiots who can't think for themselves or come up with anything new.

Those early hip hop moves tho, now a days it's all about drinking codeine out of Horchata Cups and bringing your elbow up to your face pretending to sneeze.
