Dancing in the Dark



Dancing in the Dark, set at a live performance, is perhaps best remembered for the appearance of Courteney Cox as a fan who is invited on stage by Springsteen, and dances with him. Although Cox had previously appeared in television commercials and had other roles, it is thought that her part in the video played a large role in launching her career.

The video was filmed in June 1984 at the St. Paul Civic Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, before and during the initial show of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour.
