The beloved classic film, starring actress Jennifer Beals and directed by Adrian Lynne, is about a nightclub dancer who is actually aspiring to become a professional ballerina. This movie was the third highest grossing film of 1983 in the United States.

Some of the songs in its official soundtrack became iconic hits such as the world renowned “Maniac”. The song is known for its fierce message about a woman’s strength and power. Will a five year old be able to give justice to such a big song? Well, little Roxy definitely showed everyone that she can!

As a parent, I admire the young girl who isn’t afraid to follow her dreams. More so, the parents of these young ones deserve to be commended as well.

A child as talented and confident as Roxy must have a very supportive mother and father behind her, giving her the strength and will to give her best shot in every routine she does. These kinds of performances from talented kids only go to show that helping a child develop their talents in the right way can really be beneficial.

If all children had a strong foundation and support system it’s easy to see that it would boost their confidence in what they do and push them towards pursuing their dreams.
