John Travolta is reminiscing about his iconic dance with Princess Diana

In November 1985, Princess Diana and American actor John Travolta made history after they danced together at a White House state dinner. 

According to reports, the dance is considered one of the most iconic moments in royal and entertainment history. 

Travolta has described the moment he danced with Diana as a "magical" experience and he didn't expect to be asked to dance with Diana.

"I had the great privilege and honor to do so. And I thought: 'There must be a reason to do this and I better give it my all ...'. This meant guiding the dance well and seeking to have fun. That was the easy part, but introducing myself to Diana in the proper way, conveying assurance, and asking her to be my dance partner was a complicated mission," he said during an interview with Esquire Mexico.

Travolta said he will never forget the experience. 

"Think of the moment. We are in the White House. It's midnight. The whole stage is like a dream. I go up to her, touch her on the shoulder, ask her to dance. She turns around and when she sees me she displays that captivating smile, somewhat sad, and accepts my invitation. 

"And there we were, dancing together like in a fairy tale. Who could imagine that something like this is going to happen to you one day? I was smart enough to register it in my memory as a very special, magical moment."
