Finally! After years of living on Army bases and calling your father “sir,” he moved you to Chicago, where they make Dance TV.
You love to dance. And, lucky you, they have auditions for fresh blood the very day you meet dinosaur-hair-clip-wearing Helen Hunt at Catholic school, and she’s just wild enough to talk you into disobeying your father.
You wow the judges with your bravado, your gymnastics, your “fashion risk.” They pair you up with Jeff Malone, and at first you don’t get along. He borrows his dance moves straight of Levi’s commercials!
But before long you’re sneaking out after curfew like a pro, getting grounded, sabotaging your nemesis Natalie’s debutante party, kissing Jeff at dance practice. Everything’s going your way — and you never dreamed in a million years you’d have a boyfriend, too!
