Penny asked a Laverne and Shirley friend Eddie Mekka to be Madonna's dance partner for the jitterbug scene. Madonna wanted Tony Savino to be her partner. Penny compromised and let both men dance with her.

On July 10 1991, shooting began. The first scene shot was the wedding of Marla Hooch and her beau Nelson. The scene was from the middle of the script. Movie scenes are usually shot out of order. The next scene filmed was the Charm School scene. Actress Ellie Weingardt played the charm school instructor. She judged the female baseball players on their hair and their eyebrows. On July 12, the film ' Point Break' opened. Some of the cast went to it because Lori Petty was in the film.

The next scene filmed was the train scene involving Davis, Petty, Eddie Jones, Jon Lovitz and Megan Cavanagh. Then the production filmed in the Harvey's conference room.

For the Suds Bucket saloon scene, a Chicago watering hole named Fitzgeralds was used. Fans watched the filming from behind barricades. Instead of dancing in the scene, Dottie tells them at the end that they must leave because Lowenstein was coming.
