SUMMARY:Flashdance w/ Frisque Femme Burlesque
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to (flash)dance your way into 2025? \n\n\n\nJoin us for a very special screening of one of our fave ’80s films featuring electrifying pre-show performances from the one and only\, Frisque Femme Productions! \n\n\n\nDelivering an electrifying mix of music\, drama and dance\, Jennifer Beals stars as Alex\, a fiercely determined 18-year-old with one all-consuming dream to study at the Pittsburgh Conservatory of Dance. Working during the day as a welder and at night as the star attraction in a nightclub\, she bravely pursues her dream and undertakes an unforgettable journey that reveals the power of her convictions. \n\n\n\nFeaturing soundtrack full of ’80s hits including the the Oscar-winning “Flashdance… What a Feeling”\, this film became a cultural “moment” when it was released in 1984. And it’s still a ton of fun to watch today. \n\n\n\nSo grab your leg warmers and favourite off-the-shoulder top\, and pirouette over to the ByTowne! You’d be a “Maniac” to miss this!
