How Jennifer Beals helped launch ‘Crazy Legs’ Colón to break-dancing stardom
It’s pretty hard to recognize Bronx-born break-dancing god Richard “Crazy Legs” Colón — president of the legendary Rock Steady Crew — during one of the biggest moments of his career.
That’s because he’s disguised as a back-spinning body double for star Jennifer Beals in the climactic audition scene of the 1983 hit “Flashdance.” After Beals’ female dance doubles couldn’t master the move that he attempted to teach them, then-16-year-old Crazy Legs stepped up. “Which meant me dressing in leotards, tights, Capezios, wearing a wig,” he tells The Post.
“The most devastating thing was they wanted me to shave my peach fuzz that was first growing in, and I’m like, ‘Yo, you’re asking me to shave these hairs I was waiting for!’”

Barack Obama Has a Couple Rock Songs on His Summer 2022 Playlist
Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama often appeared to be more in tune with the younger voting audience than many of his predecessors, and that still holds true today as the former Commander-in-Chief has released his annual summer playlist. And as you might expect, there's a little something for everyone with even a few modern and classic rock tracks thrown in for good measure.

Other rock tracks that appear on his Summer 2022 Playlist include Joe Cocker's "Feelin' Alright," Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" alongside more modern picks such as Jack White's "I'm Shakin'" and Wet Leg's "Angelica."
