About the Theme

Flashdance, an ‘80s classic, is an electrifying mix of rockin’ music, big hair, and newwave dance that dazzles the senses and will be sure to dazzle your guests. To celebrate this iconic movie, get your friends together and be the maniacs you are on the dance floor! The night will be made even more flashy with cassette tape décor, and neon accents—when it comes to the ‘80s, more is more.

Beverage

Fuzzy Navel

Unlike the outfits of the ‘80s, this sweet drink couldn’t be simpler to make. Just two ingredients go into this cocktail: the “fuzzy” (peach schnapps) and the “navel” (orange juice).

Themed Costumes

Flashdance fashion was the epitome of ‘80s style: shoulder pads, leg warmers, leotards, baggy sweatshirts and even bigger hair were all the rage. Encourage guests to go all out in their dancewear and channel Jane Fonda in her workout videos, perm encouraged!
