In the original script for Break Dance (which includes the subtitle Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine) Leroy at first declined to coach the Enforcers, but was persuaded by Danny on learning Christopher was coaching the Silhouettes. However, Gene Anthony Ray was replaced after filming his first couple of scenes by Michael DeLorenzo.
Erica Gimpel left the series after this episode, but remained credited for the rest of season 3. Her vocals remained on the opening credits until the end of season 4, until the Fame theme was updated for season 5 and now performed by Loretta Chandler. Gimple returned for two guest appearances in season 4 and 6.
