+'''Flashdance''' (1983) "is the story of a young woman who works as a welder in the day and dances at a bar at night, and retains hopes of being a professional dancer one day." [http://most-underrated-movies.blogspot.com/2011/02/flashdance.html]
 Although she has talent, and a kindly elderly mentor, the [[protagonist]] Alex doesn't have the courage to apply to the upscale dance school.
-She works as an exotic dancer by night, and as a welder by day.
