Whether in the wrestling ring or in a an action flick, it's clear Dwayne Johnson is a man of many talents. But there's one skill he's only recently revealed: The Rock can dance.

Johnson unveiled his smooth moves on Instagram, and during a Wednesday morning visit to TODAY, he explained what the fancy footwork is all about.

"I'm shooting a movie right now — it's a big action comedy with Kevin Hart — and in it, my character was relentlessly bullied in high school, but loved to dance," Johnson explained. "He becomes a CIA contract killer, but he's still that young boy. So that's why I’m taking dance lessons now."

Those lessons certainly seem to be paying off.
