[Jenna Dewan Tatum and Channing Tatum](http://motto.time.com/4378518/jenna-dewan-tatum-channing-tatum-marriage/) confirmed once again that [they are the ultimate #RelationshipGoals](http://time.com/4165998/lip-sync-battle-channing-tatum-frozen-let-it-go/) when they recreated their steamy dance number from the movie, [_Step Up_](http://time.com/4382086/channing-tatum-jenna-dewan-youtube-step-up/), for the film’s 10th anniversary.

The couple met on the set of the 2006 dance movie, where she played a student at an arts high school and he played a kid from the wrong side of the tracks, doing community service at the school. They married three years after the film in 2009.

Dewan Tatum not only posted a video of their dance recreation, but also a throwback Instagram of the dancing duo snuggling on the _Step Up_ set, captioning it, “#tbt to on set of Step Up. I cannot believe it’s the 10 year anniversary of the release today!! Ahhhh where does the time go?? Love you all and thanks for all the love all these years.”
