Flashdance

I watched Flashdance on Channel Seven tonight. A 1983 movie, a story about a Pittsburgh woman with two jobs as a welder and an exotic dancer wants to get into ballet school.

A good movie, a movie that got everybody start to dance back in 80's. The music was great, and I bought it from iTunes.

Flashdance (What a Feeling) by Irene Cara.

Story outline:

Working in a man's world, dancing in a world of her own, 18 year old Alexandra Owens is a beautiful young woman who is determined to make her dream come true - to become a professional dancer with the Pittsburgh Conservatory of Ballet.

Working as a welder by day and dancing in a bar each night, she is encouraged every step of the way by her mentor Hanna, and her boyfriend Nick.

But getting to the top is not easy, and at her first audition, she feels so intimidated by the other ballerinas, she flees without even dancing one step.

Then, sadly Hanna dies, which inspires Alex to double her efforts in training. When she finally auditions, the judges are dazzled by her, and Alex's dream turns into reality.
