The umbrella dance was originally planned with water dropping down like rain, with the girls dancing in water, splashing it around with their dance moves. However, the idea was scraped due to the fact that it would be too easy for the girls to fall while shooting the scene. See more »
Goofs
In the scene were Lauren dances onstage at Ruby's for the first time, as she goes into her starting pose, she realizes that she is too fair to the left (viewer's left, her right) of the stage and adjusts herself so her silhouette (outline) is right in the middle of the sliding stage door (at the line where the doors meet). However, in the very next shot her silhouette is now to the right (viewer's right) of the middle/door split. See more »

Small town girl moves to the big city to make it as a dancer. But fails the audition "Save the Last dance"-style. Then she gets a job at a club "Coyote Ugly"-style, where she gets to unfold her talent. Well, I didn't mind the rip-off scenario, I liked those movies and I could have enjoyed their mash-up. The thing is, this was supposed to be a dance flick but 1) there wasn't enough dancing and 2) the dancing was bad. Winstead looks gorgeous but that doesn't make her a dancer. She was definitely below average, her dance scenes were boring. And the choreography sucked. What's the point of doing pirouettes when "Push It" is playing? That's clearly not expressing the music. There are a bunch of dance flicks much more worthy of your time than this one.
