Flashdance : Jennifer's dance double

Jennifer's dance double

Hi, I dont recall her name off the top of my head> she danced on stage in STREETS OF FIRE. Anyways..I'm gonna post a Lionel Ritchie video from the early 80's I am 90% she is the short, short haired brunette dancing toward the end of the video. Anyone here able to validate my opinion?

and the correct spelling of her name is Marine Jahan (she was 21 at the time of filming). Her other major film appearance was as a dancer in the bar "Torchy's" in the 1984 movie Streets of Fire.

Re: Jennifer's dance double

I've heard of many peole being dancers instead of Beals. The actress playing Hanna is one. I've even heard of a guy being one! But yeah, I 'm pretty sure both the French girl and Hanna did. I could be wrong, mind u.

Re: Jennifer's dance double

Whoever said about a guy being a double to was right..
I have heard that Crazy Legs of Rock Steady Crew had doubled for her in the last scene..when "she", i recall, at the time does the back spin. It could probably true since Crazy Legs as well as Frosty Freeze, Ken Swift and Mr. Freeze had done cameos in the movie..during the breakdancing scene in the alley.

Re: Jennifer's dance double

Crazy Legs did the double on her backspin, but refused to shave his legs. He also participated in the Breakin scene with Mr. Freeze (With umbrella), Frosty Freeze (Body Slam), Ken Swift (footwork) and Normski (Eletric Boogie/robot).

Re: Jennifer's dance double

Marine Jahan's role was not listed on the movie's opening or ending credits. The producers of the film stated it was never a secret that they had used a double, and that Jahan's name not appearing in the film was due to Paramount Pictures shortening the closing credits.
