What is Jennifer Beals' wise decision that gave meaning to the movie "Flashdance" that symbolizes the MTV era?

"Flashdance" synopsis

Alex works at a welding factory during the day and as a club dancer at night. Her dream is to become a famous professional dancer someday. She was confident that her passion for dance would be second to none, but at the audition venue, she was overwhelmed by the atmosphere around her and ran away from the venue.

Almost every movie has one or more show-up sequences where the story progresses all at once with music in the background. It's a few minutes where no dialogue is needed, leaving everything to the sound and visuals. However, in the early 1980s, there was a so-called "MTV movie" that included such music video-like scenes every 10 minutes or so, and completed it as a single work. It's ``Flashdance.''

Breakdance, a feat that stunned the audience

It was shocking in every sense. The pleasure that comes when the story and images are skillfully linked and the emotion is amplified. The excitement of the acrobatic street dance that later became known as breakdance. A street dancer on a street corner who was dancing to a song suddenly lies on his back on the street, and his entire body begins to spin horizontally like a piece, centering on his rounded back. In the movie, the heroine, Alex, played by Jennifer Beals, aspiring to be a dancer, performs a breakdance routine during the entrance exam for a ballet school, surprising the mean examiner.

The 95 minutes, which appealed to both the visual and auditory senses, flew by in the blink of an eye. As a result, ``Flashdance'' became the 3rd biggest hit in the United States in 1983, over 100 million dollars worldwide, and 4th in Japan after `` ET '', `` Antarctic Tales '', and `` Star Wars: Return of the Jedi' '. Recorded.

"Flashdance" preview

It wasn't until the 1984 movie `` Breakdance '' that we learned that twirling dancing was called breakdancing, and it had been popular in New York's South Bronx since the 1970s. However, I believe that there were young Japanese people who boldly took on the challenge of breaking immediately after the release of ``Flashdance''. However, no matter what, there were many cases where even though I was able to roll onto the floor, my body would come undone before I could turn, or I would not have enough rotational force, and would end up stopping on my back like a baby. No wonder. In the first place, breakdancing is a dance battle created by street gangs as an alternative to killing each other. It's a life-or-death battle.

"Footwork" involves dynamically moving your legs while keeping your hands on the floor. "Freeze" is a movement that stops at the perfect timing during an intense dance such as "footwork" or "power move." The best part is his "power move". The most representative power move is the "windmill", which is performed in "Flashdance" by spinning on the back and shoulders, but there is also a technique called "head spin", which is an extension of that technique and involves spinning on the head. It is now common knowledge that in order to perform these feats in public, in addition to dance technique, it is essential to have the strength of an athlete. The strength of the arms that support the body when doing the "windmill," the abdominal muscles that help raise the hips higher, the back muscles that help when spinning with one hand, etc. So how did Jennifer Beals master it?
