Making a movie about a dancercise studio (yes, part dance, part exercise) that’s meant to be seen in cinemas seems like a stupid idea – and if the box office and reviews for this 1984 Canadian high-stepper are anything to go by, then it was a worse idea than trying to high kick in tight jeans. But over the last 40 years, the uplifting and only slightly softcore story of three underdog aerobics instructors fighting off a Planet Fitness-style gym chain became a cable favorite. So put on your leg warmers and tie your hair up in a side ponytail with a scrunchie for this return to the big screen, courtesy of this restoration from Fun City Editions. – Richard Whittaker
