GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN

“Getting into trouble is easy but getting out of it is all the fun!”

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.
