A bright, energetic teen comedy about friendship and self-expression, built on dancing, humor, and the joy of pursuing your passions despite parental disapproval.

Janey is new in town. She soon meets Lynne, a classmate who shares her passion for the local show 'Dance TV'. When a competition is announced to find new Dance TV performers, Janey and Lynne are determined to audition. The only problem is that Janey's father doesn't approve of that kind of thing.
