First-Timer Howard Deutch is a nice surprise too. His precise, unexploitative direction is sympathetic to the awkward pauses in teen talk, to the mopery of first love, to the suicidal bravado of words spoken in heat. Like Hughes, he is eager to let his fine young actors strut their stuff: McCarthy, his tight, knowing smile intoxicating every female in sight (and doesn't he know it); Cryer, prancing, caroming, jiving nonstop, exploding into a sublime lip synch of Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness; Ringwald, the henna-haired emotional anchor. With their help, any attentive moviegoer can walk...
...spacious feel, Rebel never gave Dean enough room to strut his stuff. As a frinstance, he never gets a chance to play the role he most convincingly embodied--that of the reckless actor killing himself in a car accident...
Only Ronald Reagan could turn a speech on tax reform into a roaring, foot- stomping pep rally. But last week at steamy Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, N.C., the President inspired cheerleaders in red miniskirts to strut and squeal as 14,000 North Carolina State students chanted, "U.S.A.!

Said Reagan: "Something tells me I came to the right place...
...gritty songs about lost affection and spiritual redemption earned rough- and-ready Tina Turner two 1985 Grammys, securing her crown as the comeback queen of rock 'n' roll. Next Turner's fans will get a chance to see her strut her tuff in Mad Max III, the Road Warrior sequel to be released this summer. For the latest installment of the adventure series, set in postapocalypse Australia, Turner, 46, plays Aunty Entity, the hardhearted ruler of a barbaric outpost known as Bartertown. No, love's got nothing to do with it; instead of falling for Swoon Symbol Mel Gibson...
...interesting bunch. While some seem almost saw, though not ineffective, others have obvious balletic or jazz training. Alan Shaw, as the shadow in "Kid and Shadow," tenses Eduardo Fuentes with both his dazzline footwork and his impish grin. Throughout the program, Stanford Makishi exudes charisma with every step, strut and slide. In both "Classroom" and "Library Tour" Catherine Musinsky is particularly expressive. As her face registers the gamut of feelings from surprise to confusion, she dances with a soft, musical bouyancy. While CityStep is partially a showcase for these indented Harvard dancers, it is mostly and adventure for the Cambridge...
