Cynthia Rhodes


I was shocked to not find any threads regarding this remarkable dancer, who actually does her own dancing in the film. She is just as effective here as she was in DIRTY DANCING and STAYING ALIVE. I will never understand why this supermely talented dancer never achieved the kind of stardom she should have.

ladies and gentlemen, i give you the OP...Cynthia Rhodes

What the $%*& is a Chinese Downhill?!?

Didn't she stop performing when she married Richard Marx?

I've always thought her dance sequence was better than the Jennifer Beals sequences.

If you look on her imdb profile, it states that she ended her career so she could be a stay at home mom for her and Richard Marx's three kids. I do think that she is a wonderful dancer and would have loved to see more of her, but I completely respect her decision.

So do I. Family comes first before anything else. Nevertheless, it was and still is fun watching Cynthia back in the days in Flashdance, Stayin Alive, Runaway, Dirty Dancing, and in various music videos like Rosanna (Toto), Woman In Me (Bee Gees), and Don't Mean Nothing (Richard Marx).

Cynthia Rhodes retired from film acting, dancing, and singing to become stay at home mother to her and singer-songwriter Richard Marx's three sons.

Truly amazing artist. I was watching the film today totally mesmerised by her. Fine actress and singer too. Best thing in Staying Alive.
