Alfonso Ribeiro has already proven to be a “Dancing With the Stars” front runner, but he might stand out even further from the pack tonight after he performs his iconic move: The Carlton.
“The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” star, who’ll do his famous routine to the familiar groove of Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual,” couldn’t have better timing: His blast from the past coincides with the MTV premiere of the ’90s sitcom, which now airs every weekday from noon to 2 p.m. as part of the network’s new #Throwblock.

Fittingly, his “Fresh Prince” sister Tatyana Ali will have a front row seat to watch the action. And somewhere, we bet Will Smith will be beaming with pride for his onscreen cousin.
Alfonso, along with his partner Witney Carson, shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of their upcoming number:
If we had to wager, The Carlton = a perfect score. And here’s a preview of what’s sure to be a hit with the judges and the crowd:
