i can still remember the first time i saw dirty dancing. a sense of guilt rolled over me like a big, black cloud while i willingly watched all that raunchy transgression. but i loved every minute of it, from patrick swayze’s pelvic rolls to cynthia rhodes’ long legs underneath those sexy dresses i dreamed of one day wearing. from that moment on, i wanted to grow up and be a dancer of some sort, as long as it involved me freely moving my body the way patrick and cynthia so effortlessly moved theirs.

then i saw kevin bacon in footloose. a rebellious, good guy who could dance. every girl’s dream (or maybe just mine).

staying alive has always been one of my favorites!

flashdance was pure inspiration. every scene.
