I can't say enough how much I LOVE this movie! You will easily fall in love with the enjoyable Cynthia Dale as the lead who was already a trained dancer when she made this film. And the soundtrack is awesome! So many 80's dance films that seem cheesy and cliche' have gone stale now but this one is still as great as it was back then! I can watch it over and over and it always manages to entertain. It can be best described as a fun, feel-good flick. Don't expect anything too serious. It's about three women who quit their office jobs and open their own business, a workout club called Heavenly Bodies. When a jealous rival tries to shut them down, they hold a televised workout marathon to determine the fate of their business. There is also a subtle love story for Cynthia Dale's character thrown in for good measure. Laura Henry and Walter George Alton do a good job playing the "bad guys." Richard Rebiere is a perfect match as Dale's love interest. Patricia Idlette I really liked as Dale's concerned best friend. There are so many great scenes in the film for example when Dale dances alone in her club after a fight with her beau. You see the mixed emotions of how she's feeling expressed only through her body language. It's really a nice moment. And of course the grand finale when it's just one on one at the end of the workout marathon. The ending was romantic when she was holding the balloons. You will have to watch it to see what I mean. This lost, forgotten treasure should be on DVD!! In the meantime, track down a VHS copy. It is definitely worth it.

This cheesy but somewhat enjoyable Canadian Flashdance rip-off is Cynthia Dale at her best, physically speaking. She embodies a popular aerobic dance instructor who challenges a competitor in a marathon of the fittest for a chance of owning the loft where stands her health club. Unsurprisingly, the 1984 movie follows every cliché-ridden ingredients to a T, which leaves only the performances of its actors that goes from good (Dale) to bad (everyone else). Cynthia Dale may work her hardest to bring any semblance of humanity to her paper thin character but its her innumerable well-choreographed moves that are really the star of the film. For lovers of bad cinema only.-----Martin Boucher
