This might not be the first dancing in the street scene, but it’s the first one that made an impression on me and made me really, really want to go to the kind of school where someone would pull up in a car outside and start playing some music, and we would all run out into the street and block traffic with our dancing. Alas, this never happened.

Watching it again now, I am mainly fascinated by the CLOTHES. Fame came out in 1980. This is what people were wearing in 1980. People in a film about a performing arts school, but even so, they are not aliens. Men, you should pay particular attention. Your current look could be spruced up a bit, I think, by some green satin micro-shorts. True, the whole thing looks like a Dalston hipster nightmare, but we could take this mainstream.
