This week in 1983, director Adrian Lyne introduced us to the world of “Flashdance.” The story follows Alex (played by Jennifer Beals), a young blue-collar worker who aspires to be a professional dancer. With the support of Nick (Michael Nouri), her rich-boss love interest, she lands an audition for a big dance academy.
