Patrick Swayze holding Jennifer Grey aloft is one of the most enduring images of the 80s. Like Grease, Dirty Dancing is a good-girl-meets-bad-boy story that all teenagers exploring romance and sex will readily identify with. Despite endless parodies and nods in pop culture, fans’ love affair with the movie shows no sign of waning. (Photo: Instagram - @la_kimmetje)
Flashdance (Released in: 1983)

With its memorable final scene (recreated most famously by Ginger Spice in the video of her cover of It’s Raining Men), Flashdance is the story of welder/exotic dancer Alex, who dreams of a professional career in dance but is crippled by her insecurity over her lack of formal education. A classic underdog story, Flashdance will inspire you to dance like nobody’s watching. (Photo: Instagram - @euagu)
Grease (Released in: 1978)

Ah, Grease. What’s left to be said about the most famous musical about young love (ironically, the less said about its awful sequels, the better)? With an iconic soundtrack and visuals to match, the cult movie sees a young John Travolta and Olivia Newton John in peak form, their chemistry practically crackling off the screen.

Shall We Dance? (Released in: 2004)

Waltz through the evening with ‘Shall We Dance?’. The movie revolves around a professional lawyer played by Richard Gere who is caught in between his corporate life and his secret passion for ballroom dancing. Steaming up the screen with secret rendezvous dance sessions with Paulina (Jennifer Lopez), they suit up for a competition. (Photo: Instagram - @jlo_onthe6)
