Neve Campbell's character Ry was based on the life story of Joffrey dancer Trinity Hamilton (who appears as a corps member in the movie). The Goth club that Ry works in is the actual club where Hamilton worked to earn extra money and have some time away from the company. When Ry and Josh watch a video of one of Ry's recitals when she was a little girl, it is actually one of Hamilton's home videos showing Hamilton dancing as a girl.
