Dylan asks D.J. to secretly help him learn to dance.
This episode features examples of:
- Brick Joke: The reason Dylan broke up Howl-O-Rama was because of Dolly's beatboxing. In the end, Dolly uses her beatboxing as part of her purposefully terrible dancing.
- Continuity Nod: When Dylan falls in the water, he emerges with a water inhabitant biting him on the head, like in "Walkies On The Wild Side."
- Creative Differences: In-Universe, Dylan's reason for breaking up Howl-O-Rama, when Dolly starts beatboxing against everyone else's howling.
- A Day in the Limelight: One for D.J.
- Flashback: Dolly has one of the time she, Dylan, Hansel, Roxy & Snowball tried forming a band.
- Dylan has one earlier of various scenarios of Dolly laughing at him over a year because of his bad dancing.
- I Can't Dance: This is the conflict for Dylan, who is stated to be the worst dancer in Camden.
- Look Behind You: When Dolly catches Dylan and D.J. sneaking out, they distract her by claiming Hansel is behind her.
- "No. Just… No" Reaction: D.J.'s response to Dylan trying to be Totally Radical is just a glare and silent shake of his head.
- Out-of-Context Eavesdropping: Dolly follows Dylan and D.J. around, but only hears Dylan's painful howling, leading her to believe Dylan's reforming their old band Howl-O-Rama behind her back.
- Running Gag: Dylan landing in a splits pose and howling out in pain.
- Stating the Simple Solution: Dylan says if he is named the worst dancer, Portia and Spencer will force him to eat a platter of feline furballs, something dangerous to him because of his allergies. D.J. just tells him not to let Portia's peer pressure force him to do some thing like that.
- Taking the Bullet: In a way. Dolly deliberately dances badly, meaning she has to eat the platter of furballs, so Dylan won't have to.
- You Were Trying Too Hard: Dylan's dancing, to avoid being the worst dancer, is this.
