The film Flashdance shook up American culture.

5 Questions with Karli Dinardo of Bob Fosse’s DANCIN’

Racy and sweet, the movie defined fashion at the time, introduced what seemed like very new, edgy street dance, and taught a generation of young women how to take their bras off underneath their sweatshirts.

Based on the phenomenally successful film, Flashdance: The Musical adapts to the stage the story of Alex Owens, a welder by day and bar dancer by night, who has big dreams of one day becoming a professional ballet dancer.

Taking the lead role, Karli Dinardo, just years-old, was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, but she doffs her Aussie accent to sing, dance and act her way through Pittsburgh’s gritty steel mills and gentlemen’s clubs.

“I started dancing when I was about three,” Dinardo says.

“I was a terrible toddler, and my parents put me into dance classes, hoping that dancing would help me to use up all that energy.”

After her first dance class, Dinardo was hooked. “You couldn’t stop me!” she says.
