dance art journal on Instagram: "In Flashdance (1983) the casting team cast three body doubles for Jennifer Beals. French dancer Marine Jahan was the main body double for the dance scene, and was so upset (understandably!!) to not receive credit for her important work. Sharon Shapiro did the high jumps and Richard “Crazy Legs” Colón did the breaking in the final audition scene 🎬 It’s this week’s #movementmonday"
