BET’s The New Edition Story has the nation guled to our television screens and buzzing with nostalgia as we reminisce on the journey that took the group from local teen hearthrobs to worldwide superstars before they were even out of high school.

As we continue to celebrate all that made us fall in love with one of the most iconic male groups of all time, it’s only natural that we pay homage to the choreography that helped propel them to superstardom. Beginning with a look at their unforgettable 2014 ESSENCE Festival performance, scroll through to see if you can still keep up with Ralph, Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike and Johnny to the tune of some of their classic hits. Do you remember these routines?
