Tom Cruise has caught a vibe at a Hollywood party over the weekend.

In a new clip posted to the Instagram account of DJ D-Nice, the Mission Impossible star, 63, is seen showing off his moves with famed actor and choreographer Debbie Allen, 75.

With Frankie Beverly and Maze's 1981 hit Before I Let Go as the backing track, the pair were filmed sharing a dance prior to both receiving honorary Oscars the following day.

In another part of the clip, Cruise and Allen were joined by Allen's sister, Phylicia Rashad, and Black-Ish star Jennifer Lewis.

The video, taken at a party hosted by the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, was captioned "Last night was a vibe! I kept the vibes flowing as we celebrated @therealdebbieallen in a major way."

DJ D-Nice, also known as Derrick T. Jones, went on to say "@tomcruise is invited to the barbecue!" tagging Cruise directly.

While he certainly won't be winning any awards for his dance moves, the Top Gun star had plenty to celebrate the following day at the annual Governor's Awards.

The event is hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the governing body of the Oscars.

In the blockbuster star's acceptance speech, he expressed his gratitude to the film industry, reflecting on how it had shaped him throughout his notable career.

"It helps me to appreciate and respect differences. It shows me also our shared humanity, how alike we are in so, so many ways," he began.

"And no matter where we come from, in that theatre, we laugh together, we feel together, we hope together, and that is the power of this art form."

"That is why it matters to me. So, making films is not what I do, it is who I am," the star announced.

This year's Governor's Awards honoured four individuals, including both Cruise and Allen.
