Did Jennifer Beals do any of the dancing?

I saw this movie with a friend of mine recently and told her that Jennifer Beals did none of the dancing. However, when seeing the movie with her, she insisted that it was Jennifer and in the close ups when she's dancing it looks like it's really Jennifer. In the trivia section, it only talks about the audition dance being done by doubles, but I always thought all of Jennifer's dancing in this film was done by a double. What's the real story here?

In 2011 Jennifer Beals turned down an offer to appear on "Dancing with the Stars". Beals said "I am not a dancer. They asked me and I said no. You could back up a truck to my door filled with cash and I wouldn't do it". I guess she really isn't a dancer.

A great deal of the dancing wasn't even that technical, I think that they should have invested more into Beals and sent her to dance boot camp.
