Alex lives alone in a huge loft apartment and holds down two jobs. In the end, she is aided by her Prince Charming, who arrives bearing favors. In FLASHDANCE Jennifer Beals plays Alex, a parentless 18-year-old who yearns to be a dancer with the city's ballet company even though she has no formal training, just an intense adoration of music and dance and a mentoring friendship with a long-retired showgirl. Beals is a plus as the stubborn, pouty, somewhat eccentric young woman made all the more interesting for her driving ambition. It works because you are carried along by the sheer force of the energetic, boisterous, MTV-style imagery by director Adrian Lyne. It is malarkey, of course, unless you view this as total romantic fantasy. She dates her wealthy boss (Michael Nouri) and practices hard for the day she can audition for the upscale, local dance school, even though she has no formal training. It's not a strip club, so her morality remains intact. Jennifer Beals holds down a macho job as a welder by day, but performs erotic dance numbers in a club at night. The plot is every young woman's daydream come true. The attraction here is youthful spirit and a pulsating score, because the weak story is merely a conduit for the song-and-dance numbers.
