Revisiting Flashdance

One of my favourite dance films of all time is the 1983 movie Flashdance, starring Jennifer Beals. It tells the tale of the classic dancer's story - a person who struggles everyday to make their dance dreams come true against all odds.

The famous audition scene at the end of Flashdance is the highlight of the movie and throughout the years many people have spoofed this scene. Here are two vidoes which take a unique spin on portraying the audition scene from the film. Which one do you think did a better job?

The first fruit of this production is "Bust a Move" a street dance convention held once a year that unites Montreal's some of the worlds best street dancers in a friendly competitive atmosphere.

Spicey has a major influence on Montreal's street dance scene and is recognized as expert in her field. Her understanding of the Hip-Hop culture is admirably portrayed in all of her work and through the years she has developed a unique choreography style pushing hip hop dance to new limits.

Dance in unexpected places: T-Mobile dance commercial in Liverpool Station

We’ve been away for a while but are back with a great video to share with you. This is an advertisement filmed in Liverpool Station in London, England for T-Mobile back in January 2009.

How cool would it have been to be rehearsing for this and then execute it live in front of an unsuspecting audience in a public space!
