Side notes

Heather Day was nicknamed "Princess" on the show because she was a fan of Prince and could been seen wearing dresses or other outfits like a eyepatch that reflect her devotion to the singer. She would meet the singer in 1994, two years after Dance Party USA ended its run.
Kelly Ripa was also a dancer on the show.
