I'm not a "dancer"...but this scene made me freaking cry when I was 17 in 1983...and it makes me cry now, 39 years later. Damn, what a moment in movie history!!
Why don’t we see films/movies made like this nowadays with the same determination and grit. It’s all about having a dream and going for it, even if you fail. "Failure isn't fatal, but failure to change might be" - John Wooden
Movies nowadays just lack soul and personality. You will never see movies like Flashdance made ever again . It was simply a much different time and writers had plenty of imagination to throw around . Now we get superhero movies
Y’all are delusional. This typ of stuff still exist. Granted it’s not as much in the center of culture nowadays but like…are we forgetting that stuff like whiplash exists???
@@-droid-j7-225 movies like this do exist but they are not sold simply because they dont sell. people these days dont want uplifting stories, they want false drama, cgi, superheroes, violence, hate, drug abuse, racist etc. movies that display what humans should be are not popular anymore.
@@zapkvr Funny thing. Marine Jahan singed a contract as a dancer without billing. She later realized that and asked the producers if they can add her. Might be a dick move of Jerry Bruckheimer not to include her (perhaps on purpose), but the steelworkes also got no billing. So what had Beals to to with this? She never took credit for dancing. BTW: The last part of the scene (breakdancing) isn´t even Jahan. I´ts Richard "crazy legs" Colón with a wig. None of the hired dancers was able to pull it off. He only got billing cause he was part of a scene with his rock steady crew.
RIP Irene Cara. Incredible dancer. Loved Fame and Flashdance. I'm no dancer but every time I hear it I want to dance. One of the most uplifting songs ever ❤
yea.. you would think so.. but when she stumbles, i have to have kleenex close by..then when they show that guy's foot start tapping, the tears actually get heavier, but they are happy, excited tears then.. lol.. i know,, im weird
As a little girl who was born in 2003 and raised on 80’s movies, I fell in love with this song and would often find myself trying to make up my own moves. RIP Irene Cara, thank you for encouraging others and countless little Latina girls to pursue a career in the performing arts. 💔
Great comment Robert. Unfortunately one consequence of the movie was the movement of thousands of welders into dancing leading to a shortage of welders.
In 2007, I was interviewing with a major tech company for my first job out of college. This is the song I blasted while riding up to their campus. I screwed up the first interview but aced the second. Thank you everyone involved in the making of this magnificent interview film and thank you unnamed 3 letter big tech company. I was a young adualt destined for low income but this song and that interview changed my life for the better.
True with social media the kids today don’t understand the magnitude of fame pre Internet. There was also a mystique about famous people there was no social media post showing every personal moment and that’s what made them special
Moved to Mexico for 6 months with my Dad and this was the only movie we had on VHS that was in English. My DAD loved this movie. Such a romantic. Miss you pops RIP
This film redefined dance and was most people's first exposure to break dancing. They show her observing it in the film and then bringing it to an elite dance academy that welcomes talent who redefines art. This film was much more profound than the reviewers said at the time.
Beals was "just the right type at the right place", but the film is yet one of the best of ever, still capable to arise enthousiasm. A Top-Move... oh... a Top-Movie. 😊🎭as
This iconic scene inspired a whole generation of young artists. One of the best soundtracks from the 80s, and a lot of good dancing, although the plot and the actors were not that good. Still lovely to see this again. It had a certain quality in itself, because NOBODY that saw this film in 1983 ever forgot it! No matter if they liked it or not. Other movies that had the same effect was Breakfast Club, Footloose etc. All sitting on my shelves as classic vinyl albums. Miss the 80s, and especially the early part of the decade....
I cannot believe she is gone. She was such a role model. Beautiful, strong and fierce. I looked up to her growing up in Brooklyn, NY. She was more than an icon. She was family. And I am sitting hearing crying singing, my heart breaking that she is gone. You are living on forever in our hearts Irene Cara 🕊 💔🤍💛💜 #GoneTooSoon #RIPIreneCara

One of the best ending scenes for a follow your dream movie ever made. Maybe the movie wasn't totally everything to everybody but the ending was magnificent.
I always thought the best part was the very last scene, when she goes out and finds the love of her life waiting for her with a bunch of roses. Eventually she takes one and gives it to him in order to thank him. That gesture was so precious.
Marine Jahan was Jennifer Beals' body double for the dancing scenes. Jahan was kept hidden from the press because the filmmakers did not want to ruin the illusion. Alex's leap through the air in the audition scene was done by gymnast Sharon Shapiro and the break-dancing was done by Crazy Legs.
The dodgy wigs are the clue, and, utterly different bodies. Gotta lol at all the boys lusting at men in leotards back in the days when VHS hid the joins, tho.
This will ever and always be one of the scenes that capture the 80s. It never fails to amaze me how toned and fit Jennifer Beals' and Marine Jahan (Beals body double in this scene) are. Peak conditioning. I'm sure this one scene alone inspired young dancers for decades, and I bet it still does.
I never knew she had a body double for this scene. But yes they’re both super fit & tone! I love that name Marine. Lol. Very fitting. I’m going to have to look her up
The 80s had some good movies, good music, good times and I remember this store called Erols and then it became like Blockbuster and Tower Records, Sam Goody, the malls were cooler and everyone had jobs, and they had the best movies by John Hughes which are now instinct classics and Michael Jacksons's Thriller in 1982 was the #1 Album to buy and everyone wanted to be like Madonna when she had her Like A Virgin Tour, and Madonna was wayy better than Lady Ga Ga who is trying to be LIKE Madonna, The weather wasn't crazy, the schools didn't have police officers patroling the schools, kids were bullyed but nothing major and texting was passing little notes around in some classes and the Female Teachers didn't look like Models they were ACTUALLY teachers, The kids would sing and dance and everything was personal and not out in the open like Cell Phones, Texting, Selfies, Cameras watching your every move and schools didn't have graveyards and we didn't have any major shootings, and we had video arcades, and Wargamers and board games like Dungeouns and Dragons, which was like Warcraft for us back in the day, Birthday parties was going to your friends house and singing and dancing on MTV when MTV was MTV, birthday cake and small gifts unlike today its MY SUPER SWEET 16 I want a BMW, Media Room, A new Closet of Clothes with the latest styles, and I can tell my parents to fuck off whenever I need too, and I am super cool with all my friends who are actually POSERS, LOSERS, LEACHES, WANNABES and these are the girls in High School I am talking about Cheerleaders were ACTUALLY Cheerleader in High School with Sweaters, Leg warmers, and Pomp Pomps and now Cheerleaders act like Sexy Kittens Parents back in the 1980s had jobs, and they let their younger kids go outside and play and be with their friends and when Halloween came around, All The kids went trick o Treating WITHOUT Their parents, and Parents can take their TV away, and Stereo if kids or teenagers mis behaved and now ...

@Peaches Peaches Then: Nimm deine Leidenschaft ... und mach es möglich!! (unless you want to do it from the east, in which case, look for the russian version!)
JettBlackheart83 I did it and with time you realize that it was good at the time, but that passion does not give you everything you want, especially a well-remunerated activity and professional stability. For the same reason, you start looking for and creating other ways to develop yourself in life, because what was your passion or what is, does not give you everything you need as a person. You do not have to be so idealistic, you have to know how to prevent. Especially the young people who do not believe that it can happen to them that finally they can not develop so much in what they want to do. You have to be more objective and realistic. This movie inspired the teenagers of the decade of the eighties, but did not tell us about the realities of life. Beware of Hollywood fantasies.
One of my fav songs that continually inspires me. The key phrase that should inspire all of us in our personal lives is "Take YOUR passion and MAKE it happen". What ever your passionate about, do what it takes to make it happen. Life is not a dry run.
What a feeling! Love this song and this movie...I feel like dancing..n crying ..joyful! Love the 80's ..Never stop dancing yes you who is reading ! Even if you dont know how to dance Feel l the musuc and stand up! ❤
I remember my mom having this movie on when I was a little girl I sit down to watch it with her and I really liked it. When I became a teenager I watched the movie again and loved it even more I love it just as much today as I did when I first watched. And my mom could never get tired of watching this she loved it . God rest her heart ❤️
What I find intriguing is the fact that whoever is dancing, they are in top physical shape. You can see how much her body is conditioned, the muscular tone. Truly spectacular.
That ending is just wonderful and incredibly beautiful! She makes it successfully at the audition and I love the way he's waiting for her outside with her dog and a bouquet of roses, makes me cry everytime! I wish I'd meet a man like that! Only beautiful dreams we see in films.
I remember when i first saw this.. I felt such an incredible exhilaration as if I were the one doing the final dance number...years later this scene still moves me...a triumphant moment for a young woman brimming with talent. Fantastic movie
Yes, it is hard to believe. I'm about the same age as Jennifer Beals and so she was a role model for me when this movie came out. Women my age were all about the Flashdance look in those days!
What a Song.......the Pre 2000 music belongs to a different league altogether when compared to the Shit they make these days. Lockdown and enjoying these Classics in India.
A classic song that will never fade over time. This song is very special to me as my late sister won second place in a dance contest in the mid 80's with this very song. Such beautiful memories.
RIP Irene Cara 🙏🏼 you are gone from this world, but your beautiful voice will live on in our hearts forever… especially this song, since I was a child, I often hear it till now… you are a legend… 🤲🏼 from Philippines 🇵🇭
Virou bacanal, acabou o romantismo. Agora é tdo explícito, tira tda a fantasia. É assim nas novelas nos filmes. A câmera só falta entrar no útero da atriz🤮
I can't believe having watched this scene and the movie ten's of times, I still tear up when she gets her s together and cranks out the performance of her lifetime.
It's Ellie let me teach you a little bit of history too... when Alexander the Great went from Macedonia to conquer successfully the known world at that time Bulgaria was not even existed. I am sure Bulgaria has great history as all countries have their own history and should learn it before they try to teach people from other countries their history. Let alone the Greek history which shaped the western civilization as we know it today.

This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all times.. when I first saw this I was almost totally disabled it was hard to walk across the parking lot .. and people were so very cruel . I was severely overweight and suffering in my being..it hurt so bad.. I looked at the seen and saw what I wished I could do.. later I heard that it took three or four separate people to make this movie scene .. the dance part.. and I don't know myself if that's true but.. how this is put together.. the idea.. the acting.. the moves.. dancing and otherwise.. of course the music.. it just all really Blends together to make one of those pivotal movie scenes that surpasses so many movies.. it somehow as an instrument helped me.. I don't know if it was before or after the movie scene but I prayed to THE LORD for healing.. . I felt like there were certain things to do.. and when I would listen I slowly but surely saw and felt changes in my life.. within a year or two I could work 4 to 5 miles health walking.. I could run ..go up and down stairs and do things I couldn't do as a child.you see..I even had physical limitations as a child.... One day I was out somewhere having some tea and a woman came up to me and said ..you have the legs of a dancer..!!! Now many years have passed.. too many hard hard things have happened that have really wounded me.. and I'm not exactly where I used to be but kind of close.. I'm having to start all over again.. it was hard to walk across the parking lot.. I've started Health walking.. I'm up to a mile at a time.. so far I've done four separate miles.. and three separate sets of exercise.. I have heard that there is muscle memory and I sure hope it's true.. I think it is.. so this morning I looked at the video again!.. THX so very much for posting it..
@@sirbuffalo thx. So much for that.. it is certainly very kind of you.. you're reply shows that you have a good soul.. I just finished another workout a few hours ago and I honestly felt like I could run a little bit but I didn't I didn't want to overdo it!.. I'm feeling so much better physically and really I have some goals ahead.. I think I'll make it...today I was honestly considering to make some sort of a CZcams video if I could from time to time mapping my results and how I'm getting there and probably to share with others who are going through similar things.. I don't know but maybe.. it might be helpful.. THX !
A pro dancer named Marine Jahan did 90 per cent of the scene above,a gymnast did the flip into the break dance,and a man actually did the spin on the floor.All Jennifer Beals did was start the record,at the begining.
Cada vez que vuelvo a verla lloro. Recuerdo haber visto la peli y como queria sentir asi la musica y bailar. Tenia tantos sueños a esa edad. Igual estoy orgullosa de ser quien soy hoy. Pero es lindo recordar a esa niña. Me da algo de nostalgia.
From IMDB: Marine Jahan was Jennifer Beals' body double for the dancing scenes. Jahan was kept hidden from the press because the filmmakers did not want to ruin the illusion. Alex's leap through the air in the audition scene was done by gymnast Sharon Shapiro and the break-dancing was done by Crazy Legs. Jahan appeared in the music video for "Maniac". (Crazy Legs is a man)
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Flash Dance. Todas às vezes que assisto esse vídeo, é como se fosse a primeira vez. Essa garota, a performance, a canção, enfim: o conjunto da obra é perfeito! Se um dia essa atriz vier ao Brasil em Trancoso na Bahia, seria um prazer imenso! Tirar uma selfie com ela e dizer, obrigado! Você fez parte da minha adolescência ❤
Assim como inúmeras perdas que tivemos de grandes artistas. Essa sem dúvida fez muito sucesso nos anos 80. Tema do filme Flash Dance. Nao tem como não dancar. Mais uma para a memória e vai ficar registrado para sempre em nossas vidas. IRENE CARA.

schools didn't have police officers patroling the schools, kids were bullyed but nothing major and texting was passing little notes around in some classes and the Female Teachers didn't look like Models they were ACTUALLY teachers, The kids would sing and dance and everything was personal and not out in the open like Cell Phones, Texting, Selfies, Cameras watching your every move and schools didn't have graveyards and we didn't have any major shootings, and we had video arcades, and Wargamers and board games like Dungeouns and Dragons,
which was like Warcraft for us back in the day, Birthday parties was going to your friends house and singing and dancing on MTV when MTV was MTV, birthday cake and small gifts unlike today its MY SUPER SWEET 16 I want a BMW, Media Room, A new Closet of Clothes with the latest styles, and I can tell my parents to fuck off whenever I need too,
and I am super cool with all my friends who are actually POSERS, LOSERS, LEACHES,
WANNABES and these are the girls in High School I am talking about Cheerleaders were ACTUALLY Cheerleader in High School with Sweaters, Leg warmers, and Pomp Pomps and now Cheerleaders act like Sexy Kittens
Parents back in the 1980s had jobs, and they
let their younger kids go outside and play and be with their friends and when Halloween came around, All The kids went trick o Treating WITHOUT Their parents, and Parents can take their TV away, and Stereo if kids or teenagers mis behaved and now ... TOUCH A KID THEY CALL CPS ON THEIR OWN PARENTS... WELCOME TO THE NEW AMERICA WHERE THE 2nd GENERATION DOESNT EVEN GIVE A SHIT!
+Aimee Adesso So true.
+Aimee Adesso - We rode around in station wagons with both parents smoking and all the windows up, no seat belts, no bike helmets, ran the streets at night, listened to motown........
Nasci em 84 mas ate hoje adoro essa música,...
Eu sou de 89 e amo todos flash back,filmes antigos são meus favoritos,esse filme o ritmo quente,ghost do outro lado da vida,guarda Costa e tempos da brilhantina ❤❤❤
"What a feeling" is an 80ies classic that reminds me fondly of good times. Rest in peace, dear Irene and thank you for that song.
Take your passion, and make it happen
Jett , what a bad sign on your avatar?
you are right
the best
@Peaches Peaches Then: Nimm deine Leidenschaft
... und mach es möglich!! (unless you want to do it from the east, in which case, look for the russian version!)
I always thought it was; Take your pants off, and make it happen. You can imagine what this effect had on a 20yr old at the time.
JettBlackheart83 I did it and with time you realize that it was good at the time, but that passion does not give you everything you want, especially a well-remunerated activity and professional stability. For the same reason, you start looking for and creating other ways to develop yourself in life, because what was your passion or what is, does not give you everything you need as a person. You do not have to be so idealistic, you have to know how to prevent. Especially the young people who do not believe that it can happen to them that finally they can not develop so much in what they want to do. You have to be more objective and realistic. This movie inspired the teenagers of the decade of the eighties, but did not tell us about the realities of life. Beware of Hollywood fantasies.
Truly, 80's music have a very deep impact in our emotions.
You can't feel the same in nowdays song
I haven’t seen any dancing scenes as touching and inspiring like this.
Tiempos que no volverán. Lo mejor era antes, dichosos los que tuvimos la gracia de vivir esa época. Nunca nada actual se comparará a lo de antes!!
One of my fav songs that continually inspires me. The key phrase that should inspire all of us in our personal lives is "Take YOUR passion and MAKE it happen". What ever your passionate about, do what it takes to make it happen. Life is not a dry run.
That is my favorite quote!

I miss the 80s…the music , movies and just the vibe cant compare to today . Wish i was born in the 80s
Every time I see clips of this movie I still can’t get over the muscle tone she had!!!!!
Especially the man at 3:53
What a feeling!
Love this song and this movie...I feel like dancing..n crying ..joyful!
Love the 80's ..Never stop dancing yes you who is reading ! Even if you dont know how to dance
Feel l the musuc and stand up! ❤
Под Бахмутом , демократия или путин.. спасибо..демократия
I remember my mom having this movie on when I was a little girl I sit down to watch it with her and I really liked it. When I became a teenager I watched the movie again and loved it even more I love it just as much today as I did when I first watched. And my mom could never get tired of watching this she loved it . God rest her heart ❤️
Nothing says the 80's like people smoking in a dancer's audition
No
My mom used to smoke when we walked in the mall
@@michaelvartanian4031 I love it! I feel like a lot of moms did that then
A história de uma dançarina de cabaré que se apaixonou por um empresário.
I remember that lol. Also smoking and non smoking at restaurants, it just seemed normal to me
What I find intriguing is the fact that whoever is dancing, they are in top physical shape. You can see how much her body is conditioned, the muscular tone. Truly spectacular.
Who could ever forget? RIP Irene. ❤❤
That ending is just wonderful and incredibly beautiful! She makes it successfully at the audition and I love the way he's waiting for her outside with her dog and a bouquet of roses, makes me cry everytime! I wish I'd meet a man like that! Only beautiful dreams we see in films.
@/Jonathan Sherman Hahaha
@/Jonathan Sherman good for you then, keep looking too and good luck!
And dont forget that 80s porsche
@@alcyon2sp And don't forget how she feels him up in the restaurant with her foot. Romance takes many forms :-)
@@alcyon2sp and don't forget the dog
I remember when i first saw this..
I felt such an incredible exhilaration as if I were the one doing the final dance number...years later this scene still moves me...a triumphant moment for a young woman brimming with talent. Fantastic movie
The best musical movie!!! forever Flashdance!!! forever 80´s
O que eu mais gosto nessa música, é a escala que ela vai fazendo, começa tranquila e vai subindo o tom até chegar no ápice, top demais!!
🐾
The lighting in that audition room is perfect, with the interplay between shafts of light and shadow adding to the routine.
The Director will be glad to hear you approve.
She's absolutely stunning/talented.
Christopher Migliore is a man
@@giancha0074 No she is not, her double is a man.
Zarza Mora yes, is a man
@@giancha0074 Part of it was a guy. Just the break dancing stuff. Most of it was a female double, and some of it was Jennifer Beals.
Lone Star no, si a man, is crazy legs
Bring back memories when I was little, my beloved Mother RIP dragged me and my siblings to the gym😂
Hermosa música y hermoso baile!!-
Aunque tiene varios años me sigue gustando y siempre lo escucho.❤
Hard to believe that this was 35 years ago.
Yes, it is hard to believe. I'm about the same age as Jennifer Beals and so she was a role model for me when this movie came out. Women my age were all about the Flashdance look in those days!
Its now 36 tho
I can believe it cuz of the vinyl
Holy flippin crap!!!!
Damn it , I was 30 then, now 65 pfffffffffffffff. Time flies. Try to use it well.
Back in the good old days when movies were great!
The stars were great , too
❤such a great scene to put me in a good mood today !
One of the greatest scenes in movie history.
This is the best scene i've ever seen in my life, ever... each time I watch it, I just cry and smile at the same time
Me pasa exactamente lo mismo!
Felipe Madureira i do too, Felipe, i do too, but happiness... we still got blood in our veins...
Me too!
Felipe Madureira well said
Me toooo!!!
In 2019 but can't shake 80s off best time for music and dance 1❤
Yes, the 70's and the 80's I'd say !
90s better
100% agreed. I loved the 80's -- Lionel Richie, M. Jackson and Cindy Lauper -- so many great music stars.

What a Song.......the Pre 2000 music belongs to a different league altogether when compared to the Shit they make these days. Lockdown and enjoying these Classics in India.
Rest in peace my friend. Thank you for your contribution to the Arts. My condolences to her family.
RIP Irene. Phenomenal talent
A real Masterpiece. We miss you, `80 ages, come back to us!
A classic song that will never fade over time. This song is very special to me as my late sister won second place in a dance contest in the mid 80's with this very song. Such beautiful memories.
That's awesome! Sorry to hear about your sister's passing but an amazing story to share! Thank you!! ;)
An all time classic ….brings back so many happy memories of my 20’s RIP Irene Cara …and thank you
RIP Irene Cara 🙏🏼 you are gone from this world, but your beautiful voice will live on in our hearts forever… especially this song, since I was a child, I often hear it till now… you are a legend…
🤲🏼 from Philippines 🇵🇭
Saudades desta época, em que os filmes eram simplesmente emocionantes. Não vejo emoção nos telões, nos filmes deste gênero, há algum tempo.
Concordo! Exatamente assim mesmo
Virou bacanal, acabou o romantismo.
Agora é tdo explícito, tira tda a fantasia.
É assim nas novelas nos filmes.
A câmera só falta entrar no útero da atriz🤮
Today was told I looked 27, and I'm 50!
Não concordo, um bom exemplo são os musicais tipo esse, Les Miserables ❤️
@@helenah1083 Mas no cinema o problema é o oposto. Infantilização de todos os filmes.
Nostalgia pura… lembra tempos bons que não voltam !!!
Sabe nome d filme
A passion i never got to pursue Who's here in 24? ❤ from Wilmington NC
Here I am.
It's very hard but rewarding.
I'm in north ga.
2 hours north of Wilmington, NC.
This scene and song got me through some of the worst days of my childhood. Thank you storytellers ❤🎉😊😢❤
I can't believe having watched this scene and the movie ten's of times, I still tear up when she gets her s together and cranks out the performance of her lifetime.
Her dance is so peppy and happy, it is so lovely on a spiritual level. Gives me goosebumps!
RIP Irene Cara…..your angel voice made this movie!!!
I have always LOVED this part of the movie!! Bring on the 80's
Потрясающий танец, один из лучших в истории!)
Flash dance top 10 in 80s ❤
Irene Cara ❤️🔥 Thanx for all the great music!! In a world made of steel, made of stone… What a feeling 🔥🙏🏻
Clássico dos anos 80. Não sou dessa época, mas adoro ouvir e ver os vídeos, sorte quem soube aproveitar, dançar essa época ❤
foi simplesmente magico melhor epoca da minha vida
Não sou da época mas conheci esses filmes pela minha mãe.
Vivi essa época de ouro com meus 8 anos e ainda parece que foi ontem. Lembro da primeira vez que assisti esse filme que até hoje encanta gerações
This scene represents VICTORY of Life in every possible way,so enjoy in the ride...Greetz from Macedonia,Balkan Peninsula
Captain Turrican Macedonia is Greek😡
🇦🇱
It's Ellie let me teach you a little bit of history too... when Alexander the Great went from Macedonia to conquer successfully the known world at that time Bulgaria was not even existed. I am sure Bulgaria has great history as all countries have their own history and should learn it before they try to teach people from other countries their history. Let alone the Greek history which shaped the western civilization as we know it today.
@@annitabournia9762 Macedonia and macedonians are mentioned 31 time in the Bible,not bulgarians or greeks,by the way,term greek is invented in 19 century,have a nice day!

Descansa en paz, Gracias por regalarnos tan grandes hit's No soy de los 80 pero cuando era pequeña escuchaba mucho Fame y Flashdance
This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all times.. when I first saw this I was almost totally disabled it was hard to walk across the parking lot .. and people were so very cruel . I was severely overweight and suffering in my being..it hurt so bad.. I looked at the seen and saw what I wished I could do.. later I heard that it took three or four separate people to make this movie scene .. the dance part.. and I don't know myself if that's true but.. how this is put together.. the idea.. the acting.. the moves.. dancing and otherwise.. of course the music.. it just all really Blends together to make one of those pivotal movie scenes that surpasses so many movies.. it somehow as an instrument helped me.. I don't know if it was before or after the movie scene but I prayed to THE LORD for healing.. . I felt like there were certain things to do.. and when I would listen I slowly but surely saw and felt changes in my life.. within a year or two I could work 4 to 5 miles health walking.. I could run ..go up and down stairs and do things I couldn't do as a child.you see..I even had physical limitations as a child.... One day I was out somewhere having some tea and a woman came up to me and said ..you have the legs of a dancer..!!! Now many years have passed.. too many hard hard things have happened that have really wounded me.. and I'm not exactly where I used to be but kind of close.. I'm having to start all over again.. it was hard to walk across the parking lot.. I've started Health walking.. I'm up to a mile at a time.. so far I've done four separate miles.. and three separate sets of exercise.. I have heard that there is muscle memory and I sure hope it's true.. I think it is.. so this morning I looked at the video again!.. THX so very much for posting it..
treesa rae I'm genuinely happy for you and I'm truly sorry for all the pain you've felt in your life.
@@sirbuffalo thx. So much for that.. it is certainly very kind of you.. you're reply shows that you have a good soul.. I just finished another workout a few hours ago and I honestly felt like I could run a little bit but I didn't I didn't want to overdo it!.. I'm feeling so much better physically and really I have some goals ahead.. I think I'll make it...today I was honestly considering to make some sort of a CZcams video if I could from time to time mapping my results and how I'm getting there and probably to share with others who are going through similar things.. I don't know but maybe.. it might be helpful.. THX !
A pro dancer named Marine Jahan did 90 per cent of the scene above,a gymnast did the flip into the break dance,and a man actually did the spin on the floor.All Jennifer Beals did was start the record,at the begining.
@@websterscam yes..i learned that after awhile..but its such a tremendous scene.
I feel like crying.It's already been almost 40 years since I watched a movie that touched my childhood.
There's so much story telling in this scene with almost no words. This movie is a masterpiece.
Que tempo Bom ! Muitas barreiras foram quebradas ❤🎵🎶 a magia da música desse tempo fez o Amor Brilhar-ate hoje brilha 💥
I was a teenager in the 80's. I thank the Universe forever for that. What a time to be alive.
Canções como essa, filmes como esses são eternos , nuca serão esquecidos!!
oink oink
40 years of a great classic 💫💐
Cada vez que vuelvo a verla lloro. Recuerdo haber visto la peli y como queria sentir asi la musica y bailar. Tenia tantos sueños a esa edad. Igual estoy orgullosa de ser quien soy hoy. Pero es lindo recordar a esa niña. Me da algo de nostalgia.
Everytime when my goals get succesful. I always come back to this. Remind myself of all the hardwork I've made it through.
that leap scene is STILL INCREDIBLE! THANKS TO SHARON SHAPIRO, the double who did that stunt on behalf of Beals
Yes @andrew chambers . The double for her during the breakdance was actually a male hip hop dancer named Crazy Legs. Serious!
paraka potana move gujrati
From IMDB: Marine Jahan was Jennifer Beals' body double for the dancing scenes. Jahan was kept hidden from the press because the filmmakers did not want to ruin the illusion. Alex's leap through the air in the audition scene was done by gymnast Sharon Shapiro and the break-dancing was done by Crazy Legs. Jahan appeared in the music video for "Maniac". (Crazy Legs is a man)

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Flash Dance. Todas às vezes que assisto esse vídeo, é como se fosse a primeira vez. Essa garota, a performance, a canção, enfim: o conjunto da obra é perfeito! Se um dia essa atriz vier ao Brasil em Trancoso na Bahia, seria um prazer imenso! Tirar uma selfie com ela e dizer, obrigado! Você fez parte da minha adolescência ❤
Assim como inúmeras perdas que tivemos de grandes artistas. Essa sem dúvida fez muito sucesso nos anos 80. Tema do filme Flash Dance. Nao tem como não dancar. Mais uma para a memória e vai ficar registrado para sempre em nossas vidas. IRENE CARA.
