Delaney is a Senior, full of positive energy, at Snaphappy High.  She is well-liked and a natural leader at the High School.  With her strong and upbeat character, Delaney can motivate all the other youth of Snaphappy. Dancing is her life.

Chad is the son of the town Mayor and a Senior at Snaphappy High. He’s a good kid, into sports as well as singing and dancing. Yet, there is a certain vulnerability in Chad due to the loss of his mom and his struggle to accept his new step mother. He becomes Delaney’s boyfriend during the show.

Mayor Lightfoot is an affable and beloved mayor who wants to do what is best for the town of Snaphappy. Unfortunately, he is blinded by his feelings for his new wife and easily allows her to lead him down a misguided path, much to the dismay of his son, Chad.

Mona is the Mayor’s complicated new wife. She has a severe dancing phobia. When she arrives in Snaphappy her fears are laid bare when she learns that the entire town loves to dance. To mask her insecurity she behaves like a tyrant, alienating almost everybody, especially Chad. She insists on having things her way until she is finally won over by the accepting Townsfolk.

Lucas is a true jock but not much of a dancer – or so he thinks.  He is Chad’s best friend and fairly awkward with girls, until he meets Emma. Everything she does simply amazes him.

Emma is an exuberant cheerleader and Delaney’s long time best friend.  She is also more than a little infatuated with Lucas whom she impresses with her amazing flexibility and athleticism. For Emma there is always a reason to cartwheel, flip or do a jump or the splits.

Daphne is Delaney’s mother and is the co-owner, with her husband Don, of the D-D-D Dance Studio..  She has the same spunk as her daughter, Delaney.   With a heart of gold, she loves her husband and all her dance students, which includes everybody in town.

Don is Delaney’s father and co-owner of the D-D-D Dance Studio.  He is a bit square and more of a worrier than Daphne. Together, they manage to keep their Dance Studio afloat.
