Col. Glenn (

Lynne talks her into sneaking out to try out for a spot on the beloved show Dance TV.
Janey wows the judges with her gymnastic ability and makes first cuts, conveniently assigned to a cute dance partner: blue-collar bad boy
Jeff Malene (
Lee H. Montgomery). They compete against the bratty rich girl
Natalie Sands (
Holly Gagnier), who sabotages them because she wants
Jeff and the contest for herself.
Janey and
Lynne get revenge by inviting punks and street kids to crash her debutante ball.
Natalie then resorts to making her wealthy industrialist dad,
J.P. Sands (
Morgan Woodward), threaten
Jeff; If he doesn't let
Natalie win, his dad (

Janey's dad races to the studio to stop her. Also starring
Shannen Doherty as
Jeff's little sister,
Maggie.
