Goofs:
Factual errors: In the sequence where Terry is playing flute in the classical ensemble, she adjusts her skirt with one of her hands during the final chord. However, on this final chord the flute part ends on a (concert) D, a note whose flute fingering requires both hands.

Trying to cash in on the roller disco craze, this movie starring Linda Blair, has a cute and innocent atmosphere to it. It is no academy award winner, and it is hokey in parts, but all and all it is a nice time capsule that highlights the fad of the late '70s and early '80s. The plot line was actually re-used in the movie "Breakin'2:Electric Boogaloo" (1984), which is another great pop culture movie. The California atmosphere, the music, and the skating sequences make this movie worth watching over and over again. A definite title for anyone that likes 'dated' movies.
