Default I can't believe during 1984 and 1992, no one on the show told Bill Cosby that he

couldn't dance at all-lol Dam that man was a horrible dancer and I wish someone would have told him how strange he looked when he tried to dance. Next to the Grandparents, Bill Cosbys dancing was another lowlight of the Cosby Show

Clair did say something about his dancing in one episode.

I noticed that for the longest. You should have seen him trying to dance at the end of the movie, "A Piece Of the Action" He defined the 2 words, No Rythm.

But he stood out with those wacky moves and that in part is what made him funny. He would be acting silly for nothing. I copy those dances myself sometimes although I think I can dance a little better than that. It is part of his trademark.

Bill was a horrible dancer especially in the second season opener where you saw that he cannot dance.

get a life people, that was the whole point of the opener of the show, he couldn't dance!!! Vanessa shows how embarrassed she is in season's opener and he just doesn't care, it is what his character is all about. His dancing was disigned to make you laugh, which it did. If you didn't get it, you shouldn't have been watching the show!! Don't dis Mr. Cosby
