Line 25:
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Averted hard. The film makes clear that even the most talented dancers need to spend hours in class, and DeeDee warns her son that he needs to focus his attention either on baseball or on ballet.
** The novelization suggests that Wayne, while potentially brilliant, just isn't ambitious or interested enough to put in the real effort a ballet career requires.
* [[I Coulda Been a Contender]]: DeeDee is still obsessed with ''[[Anna Karenina]],'' and finally asks Michael if he ''would'' have given her the leading role instead of Emma.
* [[Informed Ability]]: Anne Bancroft is carefully blocked to make it appear that she knows how to dance, but does very little in the way of movement.
* [[The Ingenue]]: Emilia.
* [[Maybe Ever After]]:
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Michael is based on Jerome Robbins.
** Adelaide is ABT co-founder Lucia Chase.
