Footloose


Footloose is a classic tale of teen rebellion and repression, featuring a delightful combination of dance and song. When teenager Ren moves with his mother from big-city Chicago to the small town of Bomont, he's in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, Ren can't quite believe he's living in a place where dancing is illegal. There is one small pleasure, however: Ariel, a troubled but lovely girl with a jealous boyfriend. Ariel's father is a Bible-thumping minister, who is responsible for the ordinance that keeps the town dance-free. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance, especially since the senior prom is around the corner, but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople. Fast-paced drama is filled with such now-famous hit songs as the title track and "Let's Hear it for the Boy."
