get Footloose!The Story
City kid Ren moves with his mom to a small, religious town in Texas where dancing is prohibited. The original movie, which starred Kevin Bacon, is a time capsule of '80s music.

The songs include the anthem "Let's Hear it For the Boy," the sweet duet "Almost Paradise" and the "gotta-dance" title song "Footloose," a rockin' tune guaranteed to stay in your head long after the final curtain.

Additional songs were added when the movie was adapted for the Broadway stage. Among the contributors were Santa Barbara's own Kenny Loggins.

The music and the exuberant dance sequences are what make Footloose fun, but there's a story to be told here, too. Communication, or lack of it, is a big part of Footloose. Ren soon locks horns with the strait-laced Rev. Moore, but persists with the idea that the high school should hold a dance so that the kids can ... be kids.

Grab your Dancin' Shoes, and get FOOTLOOSE!
