Results: Everybody Cut Footloose!

Actor Kevin Bacon is preparing to go "Footloose" on the dance floor at the final prom of the high school where Footloose was filmed in Utah, Payson High School. The school is set to close at the end of this school year, relocating to a new school. Did you see the movie Footloose?

The students at Payson High School pulled out all the stops to convince the movie star to return to the school. For the 40th anniversary of the film (which was February 17, of this year), the school put on Footloose: The Musical. The video production team at the school has been remaking scenes from the movie. And students took to learning dance moves from the movie. They created a big social media campaign called #BacontoPayson, wrote letters, posted videos and it all paid off. Students have tried to make a similar pitch in the past. They lobbied Bacon to visit for the 25th anniversary of the film, with no success. Do you agree it's nice of Kevin Bacon to agree to visit the school?

In the movie, Ren McCormack, played by Bacon, is a teenager from Chicago who moves to the fictional small town of Bomont. There, he fights to overturn the ban on dancing instituted by a local minister. Ren has to fight for what he wants, even though the odds are against them. Ren's locker, where he spent a lot of time at in the movie, is still at the school and marked on the inside with a plaque. Don't you think it's great that the school kept the locker there?

Even though the students will be moving out of the old grounds of what was Bomont High School, the memories will be going with them. They plan to move Ren McCormack's locker, and the tribute to Bacon and the character, to the new school. Do you agree this is a good move, to preserve that connection to the film?
