As you can see above, Mario’s no stranger to breaking it down with dance. Dance is one of the ways he expresses himself, and if you recall, around this time last year, he and daughter Gia stopped by The Kelly Clarkson Show to share a TikTok dance. Mario and his wife Courtney Lopez have done family dances on Instagram too.

He’s been dancing since he was young, and even placed second in season 3 of Dancing with the Stars. And, you can’t forget his dance moves on Saved by the Bell. His character on the original and the reboot, AC Slater, always knows how to entertain. He even did his signature “Slater Dance” from the original SBTB in the Peacock reboot! You can see it then, and now, below:

Mario’s dance style isn’t super flashy, but he’s also not afraid to showcase his talent. From quick steps to precision arm movements, he knows what he’s doing and how to execute each move effortlessly.

Speaking of the Saved by the Bell reboot, the second season was just released on Peacock. And yes, the original gang is back together again: A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez), Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley), Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani Thiessen), and even Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies). Mario posted a BTS video of their reunion to his Instagram.
