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.
Even though Finola didn't do much in the way of dancing when she played on GH, she did a bit and you could tell she was good! That's why she got the part in Staying Alive.
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.
Gosh, I remember this from the Hot Shoe Show years ago and it was one of my favourite pieces. Great song, great choreography and dancing from the two leads with a great storyboard. Do you have the whole programme taped though? I seem to remember Finola Hughes was dating Michael Praed at the time and there was a sketch with Michael Praed singing with Bonnie Langford that was quite good. Thanks for posting this.
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
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.
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)
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.
my favourite dancer together with Paloma Herrera.

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.
