Meg Pryor wants to dance on American Bandstand more than anything else in the world. Luckily her best friend, Roxanne, knows how to work it! She not only manages to get them in, but the two of them dance their way into regular spots on the show. It's a dream come true...that is until Meg's dad finds out and forbids her to go back. Trying to convince Jack Pryor of anything is a tall order -- even for Meg's mom and older brother. But her passion for music and dancing eventually prevail and his resolve is softened.
Being on American Bandstand opens up a whole new world for Meg. She gets to see amaizing live bands, dance with cute boys, and everyone at school is envious that she's on the show. The only person who isn't impressed is Luke Foley. He works at the Vinyl Crocodile, worships Bob Dylan, and finds the whole Bandstand thing ridiculous. It's a good thing she doesn't like him at all...or does she?
