Based on the cult 1983 film, FLASHDANCE – The Musical tells the story of Alexandra "Alex" Owens, a young welder from Pittsburgh who splits her time between working at a steel mill by day and dancing at a club by night. Behind this double life lies a dream: to get into the prestigious Shipley Dance Academy and turn her passion for dance into a career. As she tries to pave her own path toward the life she aspires to lead, an unexpected romance challenges her world and her ambitions. Facing social barriers, self-doubt, and numerous obstacles along the way, Alex must find the courage to believe in herself and seize her chance. It is a story of love, friendship, and empowerment led by a determined young woman driven to assert herself and fulfill her dreams.

Director, writer, adapter, and actor, Frédéric Bélanger has been working on the Quebec stage for over 20 years. Notably, he directed Twelfth Night (La Nuit des rois), which earned him the Gascon-Roux Award in 2023, as well as Pride and Prejudice (Orgueil et Préjugés) and, more recently, Quichotte. His background has also led him to explore musical theater with The Wizard of Oz (Le Magicien d’Oz), as well as multidisciplinary productions with Cirque Éloize, including Nezha and Hotel.
