I am looking for a dance movie made in the 80s... it was about a girl in the early 60s dancing to oldies... there was a big dance competition that she wanted to be in and there was an issue with her partner... that's really all I can remember. It played on HBO for a long time in the late 80s, early 90s. She had dark hair and the competition was in a bar as far as I remember, lots of people aroung... It's been driving me crazy!

Could possibly be Shag The Movie or Hairspray. Here's a link for Shag http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098300/

No, it's neither one of them, thanks though!
