i be a dance teacher and be look forward to some good dance routine in this film . how sad to have be subject to such a painful experience . i have major problem with jennifer beals and her character . i find alex extremely repellent . beals face be so young and sweet and innocent and and this very incongruous with alex very disturb lewdness and especially in that disgust restaurant scene . she also have the temper tantrum of a toddler . it be very difficult to believe that nick would keep come back to such a moody teenager after her frequent ranting and raving and especially after she open the door of a moving car and chuck a stiletto at him and opt rather to walk home in the middle of the road with only one shoe . and what about after her idiotic behaviour after the night at the ballet . in fact and the whole romance be very disturb the 30 something year old man go after a girl who look about 16. yuck . a for the dancing and i be afraid this 80 style be totally dated . what on earth be that tv dance sequence about in the club . who be suppose to be dance . i wasn not even sure if it be a woman or a man in drag . and even that famous final sequence be pretty disappointing and especially give the context of an audition for a ballet company . the camera shot of her leap actually ruin it effect because you can not see what she do . and what on earth be she do when she go past each of the panel point at them . and a many other comment have point out and she would never get into a ballet company on the strength of that audition perhaps that why they do not actually say at the end whether she be successful or not and the closure be the fact that she overcome her fear in the end . of the flashdancers and i actually think the best sequence belong to cynthia rhodes ( penny in dirty dancing ) . you could see that she be a real dancer and and her acrobatics be very impressive . this be of course if you can get past her appalling costume and makeup . there be two good bit in this film the ballet dancer stretch when alex go for the first time to apply for an audition they look so lovely and classy and and at least this help to underline the difference between her current dance career and the one she aspire to . the other good scene be the break dancing in the street . i also like the ice skater parent and they be funny . some other random point who be hanna and how do alex get to know her . what be an 18 year old do living in a convert warehouse all alone . how do she afford that lovely barre and all the furniture . where be her family . be that scene in the nude club really necessary . the person who write in their comment that it be something like a disney film need their head examine . and anyway and what happen to the ice skater . many people say the film be poor but they like the message do not give up hope and keep on try and and your dream will come true . watch the little mermaid instead .
