FOOTLOOSE

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school, but not for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
