The movie "Footloose" is based on the true story of Elmore City, Oklahoma, where dancing was banned by a local ordinance dating back to the late 1800s. In 1979, students at Elmore City High School fought to have a prom, challenging the antiquated law that prohibited dancing within the town limits. The movie uses the town's experience as inspiration for its narrative of rebellion and challenging social norms through the power of music and dance.
