[School bell rings]

- I'm angelina ballerina,

And today

I'm learning tap dancing,

But I'm thinking about lunch.

[Upbeat music]

[Bell rings]

[Music stops]

- And we'll finish this lesson

After we take our break.

- I want to sit

Next to ms. Mimi.

- I want to sit wherever there's

A plate full of cheese.

[Both giggling]

- I'm so hungry,

I'm not even going to take

My tap shoes off.

- Me neither.

Let's go.

[Tapping]

- Hello?

[Tapping]

Ah...ah...

[Tapping]

[Tapping]

Gulp!

Hello?

[Tapping]

Hello?

Is anybody here?

[Tapping]

[Intense tapping]

Eek!

[All gasp]

Double eek!

- Gracie, what's wrong?

- Are you all right?

- [Breathing heavily]

There--there is a gh-ghost

In the roquefort theater.

[Both gasp]

- Why do you think it's a ghost?

- Because the ghost went

"Tap, tap, tap,"

Like in the book

Ms. Mimi read to us.

[All gasp]

- Oh, I remember that book.

- And then there was

No sound except...

[All gasping]

A knock at the door.

[Taps]

[All scream]

[Chuckles]

Don't worry.

It's just a story.

- I wasn't afraid.

Ghost stories don't scare me.

- But sometimes

These stories can be true.

What if there is a ghost

In roquefort hall?

- Oh, I wouldn't like that.

- Me neither.

- What about you, a.z.?

You're really, truly brave.

You aren't afraid, are you?

- Who, me?

Afraid?

[Chuckles]

I'm from new cheese city.

I'm never afraid.

Don't worry, girls.

A.z., Ghost-catching mouse,

Is in the house.

- Oh, no.

We can't be ghost catchers.

It's too scary.

- All right,

If you're so afraid,

We can tell ms. Mimi about it

Over lunch.

[Stomach rumbles]

- Or...

We could introduce ourselves

And try to be

This ghost's friend.

- Be the ghost's friend?

Oh, no, no, no.

There is no way I will

Make friends with the ghost.

I'm afraid.

- Me too.

- Me too, but a.z. Isn't.

He can lead the way.

- Mm-mm...

[Gulps]

Yeah, um,

That's right.

I said I wasn't afraid,

And so...i'm not.

I'll just go right in there,

Shake that ghost's hand,

And say, "hello, ghost."

Yeah, that's what I'll do.

[Inhales]

[Quietly]

Ready or not, here we come.

[All sigh]

Okay, so far, so good.

Who's with me?

[Together] we are!

Nice weather we're having,

Time for lunch.

- Maybe gracie should try too.

Gracie, where are you?

- Gracie.

- Gracie.

- C'est moi.

It's me.

[All sigh]

I don't want to talk

To this ghost.

- If we meet him,

Maybe he won't seem so scary.

- Oh...

Hello, ghost?

[Tapping]

[All gasp and shriek]

- Well, vici was wrong.

We met this ghost,

And he is scary.

[Rapid tapping]

Wait a minute.

This ghost has rhythm.

[Together] what?

Nothing with rhythm this good

Could ever be scary.

♪

He's got awesome rhythm,

Just like me.

Hip-hop is all about doing

What the other guy can do

And then doing something more.

- Tap dancers do that too.

Watch this.

Here's what the ghost

Sounded like.

[Clacking]

And then a.z. Added a rhythm

That sounded like this.

[Clapping rhythmically]

And this is all me.

[Clacking]

- [Clapping]

[Applause]

- It's my turn to dance

With the ghost.

Everybody knows

I am the best tap dancer.

Voila.

- Well, don't forget that

You're dancing with a ghost,

And aren't you

Afraid of ghosts?

- Not anymore.

Now that I've met this ghost,

He is mon ami, my friend.

[Tapping]

- Later, ghost.

- Oh!

- We're coming.

Maybe we were right all along

About ghosts being scary,

Because this one sure scared us.

- Ms. Mimi!

[Together] ms. Mimi!

- Ms. Mimi!

- Ms. Mimi!

- Ms. Mimi!

- Ms. Mimi!

- Huh?

[Together] ms. Mimi!

- What's wrong?

- There's a ghost!

- There's a ghost

In roquefort hall.

- And it's dancing.

- One at a time, please.

- There is a ghost

In roquefort hall,

And he goes...

- Tap tap tap tappity-tap.

- He's really good.

He's got rhythm.

- And so we danced with him.

- Like this:

Tap tap tap tappity-tap.

- And we all wanted to be

Better than everyone else,

And now the ghost is...

- Totally mad.

- A.z.'S right.

- A ghost?

Are you sure?

- Oui.

- Definitely.

- It was a ghost.

- And you're sure this "ghost"

Was mad?

Because when dancers

Try to one-up each other,

It's a great thing.

It's a way for your friends

To challenge you to be better.

- So the ghost was just being

A good friend.

- I knew that.

I knew he wasn't scary.

Yeah, uh, I did.

The only reason

I ran away so fast

Was because I wanted

To tell ms. Mimi and...

Okay, I was a little afraid

Of the ghost.

[Laughter]

- If there is a ghost...

[Rhythmic tapping]

Listen.

[Rhythmic tapping]

All: huh!

- Hey.

The ghost is in the yard.

- Yes, and so is

A family of woodpeckers.

They are making their home

Up in the roof

Of camembert academy.

[Tapping]

[Laughter]

I would imagine their tapping

Would sound very loud

Inside roquefort theater.

- Gracie, where are you going?

- I think we should

Introduce ourselves

And become friends.

- You are so right.

- Hello!

Woodpeckers!

[Tapping]

[Tapping]

[All tapping rhythmically]

- It doesn't matter

That our new friend

Turned out to be a woodpecker

Instead of a ghost.

What really counts is,

He's a good friend

And he's got rhythm.

Now it's time to meet

Camembert's shining stars.

- My name is leanne.

Hello,

I'm angelina ballerina,

And today

I'm watching my friends

Perform an irish step dance.

Do you see how their feet

And legs move quickly

But the top part of their bodies

Hardly move at all?

They're wearing hard shoes

That are like tap shoes,

Which make a sound

Every time they hit the floor.

Tap actually began

With irish step dance.

It's stupendous to watch

And even more fun to try.

- Hola, marco here.

I know what that is.

It's a marimba.

Marimbas were first made

In africa and latin america.

They hit the wood blocks

With the mallets,

And those tubes underneath

Help make that cool sound.

Marimba

Is a percussion instrument.

A drum is another kind

Of percussion instrument,

Like the one I have here.

You hit it.

That's how it makes sound.

Magnifico.

I wonder if they'd let me play

My steel drum with them.

We'd make a great trio.
