Finola the dancer

Hot Shoe Show

[@tinapclips]

Finola was quite the accomplished dancer before Stayin Alive. She originated the role of Victoria the white Cat in Andrew Lloyd Webbers Cats in London. This clip is from a British TV Series called The Hot Shoe show.

I've always love her as an actress, now I love her as a dancer. Thank you for sharing.

[@flyergymgirl125]

Such a lovely dancer and even more lovely actress as Anna Devane on General Hospital!!

[@RalphWigg1]

Wayne Sleep's 'The hot Shoe Show'! The show that first got me hooked on dance.Finola Hughes, Cherry Gillespie, Bonnie Langford...what talent & what imaginitive routines!

[@joycegibbs5267]

I absolutely loved it. I wish you could still get the soundtrack and it would have been released on DVD !!

[@TheArnieCZ]

This is nearly 30 years ago, and no since has there been a more artisticly choreographed piece of music, that is truly beautiful to watch... and the music, aboslutely wonderful . Thank you for posting this, it brought back a memory of something that was truly special.

My 15 year old daughter was compared to finola at the weekend at a dance competition and we were told to look her up on you tube,I remember her from syaying alive,this is such a lovely dance it made me cry.

[@aamanpour3630]

I am envious. What an honor!!!!

[@amandalewington6525]

Finola Hughes ….moves me. Beautiful.

[@MOSESCAT69]

This lady can dance, and dance. An absolute pleasure to watch. Sigh, I so wish I could dance like this x x x x

[@46foryounger]

I feel like everything she does she makes it look so effortless. She’s such a Brit. Cool af.❤

[@nygirl7195]

She should be on Dancing with the stars

[@4mikeyd]

Finola Hughes is super gorgeous

[@JackieG0630]

I never knew she could do this...she's beautiful!! I actually was tearing up watching this. Thank you so much for posting these clips. My admiration for her has just gone through the roof.

[@phddddd]

a principal dancer at the London Festival Ballet on graduation from the Arts College at the Barbican ... she deferred to acting ... mommy was in the corps, and certainly knew how hard and short a life it is to be a professional ballet dancer

[@Mitzi73]

I loved this!❤

[@wendysogoloff8934]

You are my idle and wish you could teach me how to dance like you.especially staying alive

[@Njoofene]

She was a dancer before all this Hollywood stuff. She was one of us.

[@simonecavaca]

Lindo!!! Sou fã da atriz e da bailarina...

[@JM4EDR]

I wish you could get The Hot Shoe Show on DVD. I recorded it including this. Love the song, She was Michael Praed's girlfriend. I sooooo envied her at the time. Anyone got a vide of him singing along with Bonnie Langford.

[@dianawoodrow2016]

With listening to the song several times and some searching I found out who sings this and the name of the song.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4XJaHeImbp6mNU Juice Newton - Topic Provided to KZbin by Universal Music Group I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can · Juice Newton Quiet Lies ℗ 1982 Capitol Records Nashville Released on: 1981-01-01 Producer: Richard Landis Composer: Bob McDill Auto-generated by KZbin.

Muy romántico. Grandes bailarines.

[@fhccheer2010]

Go finola!

[@champawattieramgopal3328]

I love her

[@katleiabloom]

I love this video. Finola dances with such grace and emotion. She's really great. The song is beautiful. I would like to know who sings this song.

[@RalphWigg1]

I don't know the singer on this cover, but the original was by Juice Newton. I actually prefer this version!

[@thomasblock1882]

As far as I'm concerned, Stayin Alive was an insult to Finola. She was so much better! I also caught a video of her as Victoria. Simply WOW. When she was on the Hot Shoes Show, she was tops and I got angry when she left the show. I think she was on the show for only a single season. It would be great if someone could play those early tapes with Finola and Wayne Sleep and the rest of the cast, again.

[@joycegibbs5267]

I soo wish they'd release it on DVD and you could get the soundtrack again. I had it on vinyl but no idea what happened to it ?

[@quillerpen]

PS forgot to ask - who was the guy? I don't recognise him as one of the HSS company. Lovely dancer.

[@Boppinabe]

Is that the girl from the Plymouth Duster commercial?

[@quillerpen]

Hey! someone else who remembers the Hot Shoe Show. That was a brillaint programme - I have a few clips that I've uploaded here - I just wish I'd taped all of it! you don't have any more clips from it, do you? (she asks wistfully)

[@thomasblock1882]

The Hot Shoe Show was my favorite program at that time. The dancing from week to week was spectacular. I still love Wayne's Son of a Song and Dance Man. I still get angry at her when she left so early from the show. There was a bit of emptiness in the show then.

[@acr396ss]

what is the song and who originally sang this ?

[@aamanpour3630]

Juice Newton... Dancing as Fast As I Can

[@ricardolopesmoura]

That pair was so uncoordinated that she had to stop at 1:11 for a moment before awkwardly swirling so he could be where he was supposed to be in order to catch her. It's so noticeable it's cringy. At 2:18, she's too selfconcious of his moves to check if they are matching hers its comical.
