She had two lines: commenting that Leroy didn't have a registration form, and calling his dancing "wicked!!" She is still identified as Lydia in the film's closing credits. more

My favorite!, 10 November 2001
Author: synergy273 from Michigan

One of my favorite tv shows of all time!!!! I liked it a lot better than the movie. I really liked that a lot of the characters crossed over to the tv show. This show gave me an appreciation for Ballet. The music from many of the shows could have easily been on the radio. There will never be another like Fame*
