In the vibrant, dance-crazed world of 1980s Chicago, a spirited military brat named Janey finally gets her chance to settle down and pursue her greatest passion. Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Janey, a girl whose life has been one strict move after another, but who dreams of auditioning for the hottest show on television, "Dance TV." Her ambitions collide with the strict rules of her new Catholic school and the watchful eye of her overprotective father, played by Ed Lauter. Janey finds an instant partner-in-crime in the rebellious and talented Lynne, portrayed by Helen Hunt, who helps her navigate the competitive auditions and the school's disapproving nun, Sister Filomena. Their journey is a whirlwind of neon spandex, friendship, and youthful rebellion, pitting their raw talent and desire for fun against a rival dancer, the wealthy and cunning Natalie, played by Shannen Doherty. This energetic teen comedy captures the exhilarating rush of chasing a dream, the power of an unlikely friendship, and the universal truth that sometimes, girls just want to have fun.
