No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it, I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always promised myself if I ever got the chance to do a 'Flashdance'-type of movie, I would do my own dancing. I can say with pride that every single dance move in 'Go For It!' is my own dance move.
I remember when I was a dancer and I had to do this performance and I was really nervous about it, and I happened at that moment to go see 'Flashdance.' I mean, it's silly, but I walked out of that movie going 'what a feeling!' I walked out with confidence.
I love 'Flashdance.' I thought it was so cool!
I was able to actually combine dance and acting, which was a dream come true.
On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.
Dancing was one of the hobbies my brother and I had when we were kids, and dance ended up being the one that stuck. I dropped everything else until that was what was left in the end.
So dancing was not something I had a great desire to do.
I've taken classes most of my life, and it's no secret among my friends I want to be in a movie about dance. Maybe 'Step Up 2,' with the delightful Channing Tatum.
I really fell in love with dance. By the time I was seven, I had dance class six times a week. I was obsessed.
I didn't even dance at my high school prom, and I have turned down so many movie roles because I didn't know how to dance.
