Flashdance (1983)

A Pittsburgh welder and aspiring dancer works to earn a spot at a prestigious dance conservatory. Its iconic audition scene defined 1980s dance culture.

Flashdance is a 1983 dance feature film centred on Club Latin, International Standard. For dancers, it's a chance to see these styles performed on screen — the phrasing, partnering, and musicality that the same dances carry onto a real floor.
