Footlose

Ren McCormack is a Chicago teenager. When his father abandons him and his mother, they move to the small town of Bomont.
When he arrives, Ren disagrees with the city's rules and alienates Reverend Bomont. The Reverend convinced the city to ban dancing, which Ren adores. With the help of Ariel (the Reverend's daughter) and Willard (a country guy who becomes his best friend), Ren convinces the Reverend to let the teenagers dance, and in doing so, helps the town heal from a tragedy that touched its inhabitants.
