- I'm angelina ballerina,
And I love to dance, of course.
But I also love to help the world.
- Why, angelina,
I didn't know you were so interested in the newspaper.
- I didn't know you could even read it.
- I do like the news.
But today I need the newspaper for something else,
Something very important.
This is camembert cares week at school,
And we are recycling.
- Cycling?
Don't you need a helmet?
- Not cycling, polly.
- Recycling.
That means reusing things in a new way
That's good for the earth.
- A great idea.
- Paper comes from trees.
What we recycle gets made into new paper.
And we don't have to cut down more trees.
[Clapping]
- Super.
- No more throwing paper away.
From now on, we will show the earth some respect.
- Cycle my paper, angelina.
I respect the earth.
- Thanks, polly.
And the earth thanks you too.
- Bye, angelina!
- Bye!
- Bye.
[Bell ringing]
- Wow, gracie, what a pile of papers.
- They're from my mom's office.
- I thought you could only recycle newspaper.
- No, no.
Lots of papers can be recycled,
Even cereal boxes.
[Giggling]
- Yeah, yeah.
- Good morning, mouselings.
I can see you've worked very hard
Collecting paper for recycling.
- You bet, ms. Mimi.
- And this year, we're gonna work even harder.
Now you're old enough to help with the fundraising project.
- Awesome.
- The chipping cheddar earth club
Wants to plant new trees all over town this year.
We'll be raising money to help.
- I wish we could raise money by dancing.
- In fact, you can.
- Really truly?
- Really truly.
We're going to have a dance-athon.
- What's a dance-athon?
- People make promises called pledges
To give money for every hour of dancing.
Sometimes dancers even get to dance all night.
- That sounds too good to be true.
- Angelina ballerina
Has been dancing for days and nights,
Stopping only for an occasional piece of cheese...
Or a five-minute nap.
She will now accept a prize for saving the world by dancing.
[Cheers and applause]
- Angelina!
- Angelina! Angelina!
Angelina!
- Angelina? Angelina?
You probably won't be staying up all night,
But you will need this permission slip to stay up late
For a good cause.
- I think our good cause needs a good dj.
- But you are an a.z., Not a d.j.
- "Dj" stands for disc jockey.
They select and play music on the radio and at parties.
- I will be nonstop hip-hop
'Cause nighttime is the right time.
- Wow.
Look at all the pledges we've collected.
- Let's hope mrs. Thimble comes up with a stupendous donation.
- What a lovely idea.
Please accept my pledge.
- Wow, mrs. Thimble, that's so generous.
Thanks a million.
- It's such a good cause,
And I might even join in the dancing.
And if you let me dance with you,
I will double my pledge.
[Both gasp]
- Way to go, mrs. Thimble.
Here's one of the tunes I'll be playing.
[Percussive dance music]
♪
- Oh, dear.
I don't think I can get the hang of this.
I will just have to sit out this dance-athon.
- Does that mean you won't be dancing with us?
- And we won't get your double donation?
- I guess not.
Sorry, mouselings.
- Oh.
There has to be a way to get mrs. Thimble to dance with us.
Wait. I know.
Mrs. Thimble?
Is there another kind of music you'd rather dance to?
- Well, dear, truth be told,
I cannot resist a motown tune.
- Motown?
- Motown originated in detroit, mousigan.
And, boy, was that town rocking.
Motown groups danced while they sang.
And their moves were in sync with the lyrics.
I have some motown music right here.

[Both laugh]
- Let's see.
If a farmer has a dozen eggs
And his chicken lays three more,
Then how many eggs will he--
[Gasps] gracie!
What are you doing?
- We must not waste paper.
The earth is your friend, angelina.
- But that was my math homework.
- Oopsie.
Pardon.
Just let me know when you're ready to recycle your math.
- [Thinking] uh-oh.
Gracie has become a recycling maniac.
That reminds me.
I brought a magazine to recycle.
- Look at all the pledges we've collected.
- Wow, this is stupendous.
[Bell rings]
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Last call for the recycling drive.
Did anyone bring more paper?
- Oh, yes. I forgot.
I brought in my parents' gourmouse magazine.
- I didn't see it in the bin.
- I must've left it in the classroom somewhere.
- Okay, I'll go find it.
Ah, voila!
There it is.
- Okay, polly, now you move your arms like you're swimming.
- I'm swimming. I'm swimming.
- Good job, polly.
That dance is called the swim.
- My parents loved doing the swim.
But I preferred the twist...
And the frug.
- It's so cool that you'll be there to dance with us tonight.
- Oh, yes.
These dances are timeless, angelina.
We'll be doing them at weddings and parties
Even when we're old.
- But you're old now.
- [Laughs] no way.
These dances keep us young.
- Time for camembert academy's first ever dance-athon.

Our dance-athon was a huge success.

- Now that moment has come.
Angelina, will you announce the results of our pledge drive?
- Sure.
Where's the pledge sheet?
- I left it on ms. Mimi's desk.
- Come on, alice.
Let's go get it.
Uh-oh.
Where's the pledge sheet?
- I don't know.
- A.z., We couldn't find the pledge sheet.
- Now we don't know who donated what.
- We'll just have to keep the mouselings dancing
While you go back and look.
If we can't find the sheet,
Everyone has danced all night for nothing.

- The mouselings of chipping cheddar
Have collected more than pledges.

- The chipping cheddar earth club
Will now be able to plant lots of new trees.
- Our paper drive has also saved many, many more trees.
[Cheers]
- And from now on, we will all recycle at home.

Any night of dancing and helping the earth
Is the best night of all.

Now I have an important announcement.
This friday, camembert academy will host an art show.
- An art show?
Ooh.
Will the art sing and dance?
- [Chuckles]
Not exactly, gracie.
An art show is a display of different kinds of drawings,
Paintings, and sculpture,
Even jewelry.
- Ooh, la, la.
- I went to an art show in new cheese city,
And there were musicians too.
[Plays short piano riff]
- Yes, art and music go together like cheese and crackers.
Now, for the show,
Each of you will create a project.
- Stupendous!
- We will all be artists.
[All laughing]
- I'm going to make a pink cheese sculpture
As big as my house.
- You'll need a lot of cheese.
- [Giggles]
Maybe you should sculpt something
A teeny bit smaller, angelina.
- And less smelly.
- Look, everyone.
- Wow.
- This is a painting by cheddar degas,
A very famous artist.
- Did cheddar degas like to dance?
- He wasn't a dancer,
But degas used dance as inspiration for his work.
- You mean he painted the dancers from real life?
- Mm-hmm.
He observed dancers in ballet class
And created beautiful paintings.
- Because dancers are beautiful.
Tres belles.
- I would just love to be a painter like cheddar degas.
- A fabulous idea, vici.
- You mean I could?
- Of course.
Art takes practice, just like ballet.
But if you use your imagination, the sky's the limit.
- Does that mean everything can be pink?
- Even the sky.
Art can be anything you want it to be.
Just remember to be creative
And have fun.
- I promise to use my imagination.
- And I promise to have tons of fun.

Yes.
Now, pose like this tendu.

I've always wanted a blue bass.

- Yeah.
A blue song is a cool song.

Can you play that tune on the real bass?
- You bet.

Do you think vici's almost done?

Hello, I'm angelina ballerina.
Today we're going to see some ballroom dancing.
That's where people dance together as partners.
This is called swing dancing.
It started back in the s
With a kind of jazz music called swing.
It takes a lot of practice to work well with your partner
So you know what to do next.
See how they move in time to the music?
Every step matches the tempo and each other.
They're simply stupendous.
Hello, I'm angelina ballerina.
Today we're going to see some ballroom dancing.
Now, this is called merengue.
It's a latin dance from the dominican republic.
It has a two-step b*at like a march.
Right, left, right, left.
My, what a fancy dance.
Sometimes ballroom dancing is called social dancing.
But whatever you call it,
Ballroom is simply a ball.
