* TheWoobie: Jeanie. She's a genuinely talented figure skater, but she botches the audition that she's spent two years practicing for. Her boyfriend dumps her without warning to pursue a pipe dream. TheCorruptor entices her into working at his strip club, and while she quits, her last scene has her crying as it sinks in how bad her life has gotten.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Alex's coworker Tina. She only has two or three notable scenes in the movie, but her dancing scene at the club is considered one of the best, if not the best, in the film. The RunningGag of her waiting for her boyfriend to call and her performer (future ''Film/DirtyDancing'' star Creator/CynthiaRhodes) add to her popularity.
Added DiffLines:
** The audition where Alex incorporates all of the styles she's observed throughout in the film.
** The MinorCharacterMajorSong "Manhunt" cabaret number, due to Creator/CynthiaRhodes not needing a double (unlike the other dancers in it) and having some great moves for an original song.
** Jeanie's ice-skating audition, due to the moves she employs and the SoundtrackDissonance once she begins to falter tugging at the heartstrings.

"What a Feeling" and "Maniac" got popularized thanks to this movie and are widely seen as representative of the decade. And the main character is a woman working at a steel mill, which was a surprise back then and, while uncommon today, is no twist. (Nowadays, the twist would be the idea of ''anyone'' working at a steel mill.)
