18-year-old Pittsburgh welder Alex Owens (Jennifer Beals) also works as a dancer at a nightclub; she wants to be accepted into a prestigious dance academy, but will she make it? Most preteen or teenage girls want to escape their boring lives; this film takes those dreams seriously. A big reason why the movie was a hit is the music; the soundtrack is full of engaging tunes, reaching a climax in that famous audition scene.
