Jessica Springsteen joined her father Bruce Springsteen on stage on Thursday to reprise the dance role made famous by Courteney Cox in the 1984 ‘Dancing In The Dark’ video.

For those who don’t remember, at about the 3:20 mark, Bruce pulls a “fan” out of the audience to dance with him who happened to be a then unknown Courteney Cox.

On Thursday night in Paris, Springsteen pulled another fan out of the crowd to dance with him at the end of the song. It was his 20-year-old daughter Jessica and we are lucky that a concert goer caught the dance on video.

Bruce Springsteen released his most recent album in February. Read the Noise11.com review here. Bruce Springsteen launched Wrecking Ball at SXSW in March. Noise11.com was there.

Last week it was announced Bruce Springsteen will be MusiCares Person of the Year for 2013. 

Check out the action here.

Watch the original clip featuring Courteney Cox here.
