35 years ago ‘flashdance’ was released

and it emerged again recently

in honor of international dance day

 i loved this movie

 had the shoes, the ripped up sweatshirt, the perm

though my dancing style

was a bit different  

from this welder by day/dancer by night

and i didn’t live in a cool loft

or have an eccentric dog

or ride my bike to work

or look at all alike

but other than that

we were like sisters.

  12. Great film; but these days when anyone mentions it, I think first of a scene in the British film The Full Monty, where a group of male would-be strippers watch the film for dance moves inspiration and end up arguing about the quality of her welding. Sooooo funny.
