- I'm angelina ballerina.

And today I'm helping my mum

By babysitting my little sister, polly.

"Goldimouse took a spoonful of cheesy porridge.

"'Ugh!' She cried.

'It's too cold!'"

- Why was the cheesy porridge cold?

- Maybe mama bear likes it cold.

- I'm going to ask mum

If she likes cold cheesy porridge.

- Polly, come back.

Mum's working; come on.

I'll read some more goldimouseto you.

[Doorbell rings]

- Hi.

- Hi, alice.

- Alice, did you come to play?

- Of course.

What game would you like to play, polly?

- Let's play statues.

- [Laughs]

Okay.

Remember, the first one to wobble is out.

[Phone ringing]

[Laughter]

- No wobbling, angelina.

- Somebody better answer the phone.

Mum's busy today.

Hello?

It's viki.

The grapevine dance?

I could show you how to do it.

Well, I can't come now, viki.

Mum's working,

And I'm babysitting my little sister.

- I can look after polly for a while, angelina.

- Yeah, alice can be my babysitter.

- Viki really needs my help, mum.

- And I have work to do, angelina.

I have to finish sewing those curtains

By this afternoon.

- I don't mind babysitting polly, mrs. Mouseling.

- Thank you, alice.

That's very nice of you.

You promise to be back soon, angelina?

- I'll be as quick as I can.

Bye.

- I'll get back to my sewing.

Call me if you need me, alice.

- Come on, alice.

Let's play.

- Hi, angelina.

Thanks for coming.

- We just can't get the grapevine steps right,

No matter how hard we try.

- Okay.

Here we go.

One, two, three, four.

Together: step behind, step front.

Step, stomp, jump, and shh.

- Step behind.

Marco and angelina: step behind.

- Viki, you're a b*at ahead of us.

- How come?

- You're not resting on the last b*at,

So you're getting ahead.

- Show me again.

- Step behind, step front.

- I did that.

- Step, stomp, jump, and shh.

- Shh.

That's a good way to remember the rest b*at.

- Right.

Let's take it from the top.

[Bright music]

Together: step behind, step front.

Step, stomp, jump, and shh.

♪

Step behind, step front.

Step, stomp, jump, and shh.

[Laughter]

- That was stupendous.

- Amazing.

Let's do it again.

- I'd love to, viki,

But I promised mum I wouldn't stay long.

- Oh, that's okay, angelina.

We can do it now.

[Alice and polly giggling]

- You're wobbling, alice.

- [Laughs]

So are you.

- Whoa!

Oof!

[Laughter]

- Looks like you two are having fun.

- Alice is the best babysitter.

- I'd better go, angelina.

My mom will be wondering where I am.

- Aw, no. Please, don't go.

- I'll come back later, polly.

Promise.

- Thanks for helping me out, alice.

- Come back soon.

- Okay.

Now what shall we play, polly?

- I'm going to find mum.

- Mum's got to finish her work.

Come on, we can play funny statues.

- Alice did much funnier statues than you, angelina.

- We're going to do something very, very special, polly.

This is going to be angelina and polly's big day.

- Yay!

What are we going to do?

- First, we're going to spin, like this.

Whee!

- Alice spins faster than that.

- Whoa.

Oh!

Ow!

- [Laughs]

That was funny.

- [Groans]

- What else are we going to do on our big day, angelina?

- [Sighs]

Let's go to the park.

- Yay!

We're going to the park.

- Hold on.

I've got to tell mum where we're going first.

Mum, I'm taking polly to the park.

- Lovely idea.

Have a good time, girls.

- We will.

It's angelina and polly's big day.

[Door clicks shut]

- [Chuckles]

- If it's our big day, angelina ballerina,

Why are we just walking to the park?

- You're right, polly.

We should be doing something else.

Like, um--

- I bet alice would have done something really special.

- Hopping.

We should hop to the park.

- Yay!

I love hopping.

- It's our big day, mrs. Thimble.

- And we're hopping to the park.

No more hopping, angelina.

- [Breathing heavily] okay, polly.

I am a bit puffed out.

- What else can we do?

- Um, let me think.

- Alice would have done something really exciting.

- I know what we could do.

- What?

- I'll race you to the park.

- Yay!

- On your marks,

Get set,

Go!

[Laughing]

- I'm winning!

I won.

[Both gasping]

- You ran like the wind, polly.

- I could never b*at alice.

She's a really fast runner.

- I've got a big surprise for you, polly.

I'm going to teach you a new dance.

- I'm too tired to learn a new dance today, angelina.

- This is a really exciting dance.

It's called the grapevine,

And it goes like this.

Step behind, step front.

Step, stomp, jump, and shh.

Step behind, step front.

Step, stomp, jump, and shh.

- [Laughs]

Yay!

Teach me the shush dance, angelina.

- [Giggles]

Okay, polly.

Follow me.

Step behind, step front.

Step, stomp...

- Stomp!

- Jump, shh.

- [Laughs]

Shh.

- Excellent, polly.

Want to do it again?

- Can we go home now?

- Hmm.

I know something that will cheer you up.

[Bright music]

♪

Ta-da!

- Is the big day over yet, angelina?

- No, not yet, polly.

It can't be over until we've had

The bestest, biggest day out ever.

- [Sighs]

Okay, angelina.

- What about a game, a game of...

Who can make the silliest sound?

I'll go first.

Blah, ooh, blah, la-la!

- [Yawns]

- That was a great silly sound, polly.

- I was just yawning.

[Yawns]

Can we go home now?

- Okay, polly.

[Gasps]

But there's one more thing we can do on the way home.

- What's that?

- We can borrow a book from mrs. Thimble's store.

Okay, polly, because it's our big day,

You can choose whichever book you want

Off mrs. Thimble's borrow-a-book shelf.

- [Yawns]

I'm tired, angelina.

- [Sighs]

Okay, polly.

Let's go home.

- Alice!

Look what I got from mrs. Thimble's store.

- Wow!

Want to look at it together?

- [Sighs]

Why does polly like alice so much more than me?

- Angelina and I had a really big day, mum.

- A big day?

What did you do?

- First, we spun around.

Then we ran races,

And I won.

Then we borrowed a book

From mrs. Thimble's store.

But best of all,

Angelina taught me how to do the shush dance.

Watch.

Step, stomp, shh.

- [Laughs]

Great job, angelina.

Polly's had a lovely afternoon.

- I thought she wasn't having any fun at all.

- I had the most fun ever!

- And there I was thinking that alice

Was a better babysitter than me.

- Oh, just because polly had fun with alice

Doesn't mean she loves you any less.

Thanks to you and alice, I've finished my work.

I'll just tidy up here.

Then we can start dinner.

- Come on, angelina.

Let's teach alice how to do the shush dance.

- Step behind, step front.

Step, stomp, jump, and...

Together: shh!

Step behind, step front.

Step, stomp, jump...

Together: shh.

Step behind, step front.

Step, stomp, jump, and...

Together: shh.

- Now it's time to meet camembert's shining stars.

- My name is lindsay,

And when I was three, I started taking ballet.

- My name is avery,

And I study at the american ballet theater school.

- When I was little,

My grandma gave me a package of three books

And a little angelina ballerina doll,

And I really like the books.

- My sister's a dancer, so I went on an audition,

And I just really liked it.

- When you tie your pointe shoes,

You have to cross the ribbons

And make sure you tie a tight knot

On the inside of your foot.

Our teacher just choreographed a piece.

We don't really know what the name is, but...

Yeah, but it's fun.

[Upbeat orchestral music]

♪

♪

We have pointe shoes made of plaster and glue,

And at first, it hurts a little bit,

But your feet get a lot stronger,

And it's-- you have, like, padding,

Like a toe pad underneath your pointe shoes.

It feels good.

- When I do an entrechat six, it's a challenge,

But I work hard at strengthening my legs,

And it makes it easier.

♪

- This is the first time I've danced with a partner,

So it's challenging, but it's a great experience.

♪

- She's a really good partner.

♪

- It's really fun to learn and get to know

The different ways of balancing on your pointe shoe,

And it just feels amazing.

♪

- I really like dancing.

I hope to inspire other people to dance.

- I'm angelina ballerina,

And today my friends and I are getting ready

For a big celebration at my dad's music store.

We're going to sing french songs,

And everyone in town's going to bring french food.

- La fete francais sounds fantastique.

- Huh?

La fete francais?

- It's french for "the french festival."

- It sounds so pretty in french.

- Everything sounds pretty in french.

- What french song are we singing?

- Frere jacques.

Angelina already knows it,

So she'll sing the words in french,

And I'll tell you what they mean.

- ♪ Frere jacques, frere jacques♪

- "Brother john, brother john."

- ♪ Dormez-vous, dormez-vous?♪

- "Are you sleeping?

Are you sleeping?"

- ♪ Sonnez les matines♪

♪ Sonnez les matines♪

- "Morning bells are ringing.

Morning bells are ringing."

- ♪ Din dang don♪

♪ Din dang don♪

- I know what that means.

"Ding, ding, dong," right?

[Laughter]

- Oui.

It's almost the same in french and in english.

- [Sniffing]

[All sniffing]

Ew!

What's that smell?

- Ooh, I don't know, but it doesn't smell good.

- Smells like rotting vegetables.

- Or stinky socks.

All: ew!

- [Humming cheerfully]

[Sniffing]

[Sighs]

There is nothing like the smell of rodentfort cheese.

It's going to be a big hit at the fete francais.

[All sniffing]

- I know something smells bad,

But we still have to practice our song.

- Okay.

Let's all sing it together.

- Non, non.

Frere jacquesis a round.

That means each voice comes in at a different time in harmony.

- Huh?

- How?

- We'll show you.

Angelina, you start.

- ♪ Frere jacques frere jacques♪

Then angelina and a.z. Will come in

As soon as we've finished singing the first line.

- Too soon this time, a.z.

- Aw, man.

This is harder than I thought.

- [Sniffing]

There's that smell again.

And now it's even smellier.

[All sniffing]

- Hello, mouselings.

- Ew.

- What is it?

- I don't know,

But I think it's coming from mrs. Thimble's basket.

- [Sniffing]

[Coughing]

Oh, mrs. Thimble.

How may I help you today?

- Hello, mr. Mouseling.

I've brought french rodentfort cheese

For the fete francais.

I made it with my own two paws.

- Why, thank you, mrs. Thimble.

It certainly has a powerful aroma.

- Of course.

Some of the best french cheeses have a strong smell.

- Whoa, not that strong.

- And now I'm off to make more rodentfort,

Enough for everyone at the fete.

All: ugh!

- Oh, no.

We can't let mrs. Thimble serve that cheese at the festival.

The smell will drive everybody away.

- You're right, angelina.

But I don't see how we can avoid serving it.

I don't want to hurt mrs. Thimble's feelings.

- Maybe we could get her to serve something else instead.

- That could work.

- Good luck.

Mmph.

[Groans]

- What's this?

- That's a loaf of french bread called a baguette.

- And that?

- That's a crepe.

It's a thin pancake rolled around fruit

Or anything you want.

- Let's show mrs. Thimble.

I'm sure she'll want to cook one of these

Instead of that smelly cheese.

[Laughter]

Mrs. Thimble?

- Yes, angelina?

I'm a bit busy right now.

- Since you're so good at making french food,

We thought you'd like to see some other yummy recipes.

- Mmmm.

These do look delicious.

And they'd be even more delicious

With rodentfort cheese on top.

[All gasping]

Thank you for that excellent suggestion, angelina.

- [Sighs]

Back to the drawing board.

- Great.

Now she's going to serve even more of that smelly cheese.

- Don't worry.

I have another idea.

What if we put our money together

And buy all of the cheese from mrs. Thimble?

- Oui.

And then we could tell her we ate it all,

So we couldn't bring it to the festival.

- I'm in.

- I hope this is enough.

Mrs. Thimble?

- Yes, angelina?

Um, my friends and I like your rodentfort cheese so much,

We'd like to buy it...

- All.

- Yes, we'd like to buy it all up

And take it away--

Home.

- I'm so flattered.

Of course you may have all my cheese.

But I couldn't take your money.

And I still have time to make a whole new batch

For the festival.

[All gasp]

- Thanks, mrs. Thimble.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, thanks.

- Merci.

- Looks like we can't get away

From this smelly cheese no matter what we do.

- And no one's going to want to come to the fete francais

If it smells like this.

- There's got to be something we can do

To stop mrs. Thimble from making any more.

Maybe we could hide it.

- Bury it.

- Spray it with perfume?

- Wait a minute.

Why don't we just tell her the truth,

That her cheese is too smelly to serve at the festival?

- But won't that hurt her feelings?

- We could say it nicely.

- Who's gonna do it?

- I know.

One potato, two potato, three potato, four,

Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more.

Oh, dear.

- Good luck, angelina.

- Bonne chance.

- Oh.

Ooh.

[Gulps]

Mrs. Thimble?

- Yes, angelina?

What is it now?

- Well, we all think it's so nice of you

To make your special rodentfort cheese

For the fete francais,but--

- But what, angelina?

Go on.

- We know you like the smell,

But the rest of us find it a little too strong.

- [Gasps]

Too strong?

[Scoffs]

How could anyone not like rodentfort cheese,

Especially mine?

- I'm sorry, mrs. Thimble.

We didn't want to hurt your feelings.

- No, I suppose not.

I love smelly cheese,

But others sadly don't have my fine sense of smell.

[Sniffing]

What a shame not to make cheese

For a festival celebrating france.

- We could make a cheese with a milder smell,

Like camembert.

- Yeah, especially 'cause it's the name of our school.

- Yes.

I do like camembert, but I'd need a recipe.

- My mamanhas one.

I'm sure she'd be happy to give it to you.

- Hmm.

Wonderful.

We'll have camembert then.

- Whew.

Mmm, mrs. Thimble,

This camembert cheese tastes so good.

[Sniffs]

And it smells good too.

- Thank you, angelina.

And thank you for your honesty about the rodentfort.

I wouldn't want to serve a cheese that nobody likes.

- [Giggling]

- [Claps]

Thanks, everyone, for coming to our fete francais.

And now our mouselings will sing a french round,

Frere jacques.

- I hope I come in at the right place.

- I'll tap you when it's time.

Hello, I'm angelina ballerina.

Did you know dance is a wonderful way to exercise?

Just as you warm up before exercise,

You should warm up before dance.

You have to warm your muscles so you won't get hurt.

It's best to warm up by stretching.

You can reach for your toes.

You can reach back.

Stretch that arm now.

You can even bend backward like a noodle.

And once you're all warmed up, ta-da, you're ready to dance.

- Hola,marco here,

And this is kenichi ebina from japan.

He's a great hip-hop dancer.

In this dance, kenichi tells a story

About a mannequin that comes to life.

That move is called "popping."

[Laughs]

And here's an arm wave,

Like an ocean wave moving through him,

And that's locking.

See how fast his arms move?

You can learn hip-hop by watching other dancers

And even music videos,

And then you can make your very own dance style.
