"Every day, she works in a man's world. Every night, she dances through the universe that is her dream." -Flashdance

'She’ can be ‘you’ and while ‘every night’ will become a more manageable ‘one night’, ‘her dream’ is now ‘your dream’! … Oh and ‘dances’ becomes ‘dance’… And get rid of the ‘man’s world’ part completely. Wait, what? Wrong Prom! That’s what!

After giddying success last year, Wrong Prom is back in 2010 with four new, dance-infested nights. Each evening is themed around a film and this year the heart and leg-warming classic Flashdance is up first, followed by evenings of Blues Brothers, Grease and Chicago. If your shape throwing is lacking, you can turn your lopsided triangles into dodecahedrons of power with an hour-long dance class at 8pm. Afterward, the instructor will step aside to watch with grim satisfaction the Lycra-ridden inferno of their handiwork.

I suggest you get your favourite leotard washed and ironed because it is so on that your brain would explode if you actually knew exactly how on it is. The time has come to finally dispel all doubts about your commitment to Sparkle Motion once and for all. The time for your friends to exclaim, "she/he is a maniac, maniac on the floor and she/he is dancing like she/he’s never danced before."

So, Wrong Prom or So Right Prom? It’s up to you, gentle friend.
