What a Feeling! Dance like you’ve never danced before (cue chair and splashing water)! Flashdance The Musical tells the inspiring story of Alex, a welder by day and ‘flashdancer’ by night, who dreams of going to the prestigious Shipley Dance Academy and becoming a professional dancer. When a romance complicates her ambitions, she harnesses it to drive her dream. Based on the popular 1983 feature film of the same name, Flashdance is a musical spectacle featuring phenomenal choreography about the power of holding onto your dreams – and love – against all odds. Smash hits include “Maniac,” “Manhunt,” “Gloria,” “I Love Rock & Roll,” and the unforgettable title track, “Flashdance…What a Feeling!”
