01x09 - Heartbeat

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Dance Academy...

I would love an excuse like that
to get out of class.

Katrina, your hair is a mess.

Ethan, I want to introduce
Christian. He's just joined us.

A guy who needs a little space.

My wallet.

There's some cash missing.
I can give it back.

I don't want your money.

But you owe me.

I'm doing this piece for the
showcase tomorrow, a bit of hip-hop.

You up for it?
Oh, yeah, I just do class work.

I don't do extra.

I could have told Kennedy
about the wallet. You owe me.

Ethan!

Tweak, just let it go.

Come on, let's go.

I have this theory
that for every song,

there is one perfect listener.

Hey, that's my idol
you're messing with.

That's your idol?
Yeah. Move.

And when you hear yours,

it reels in all the jumbled
threads of your life,

tying them up
into three perfect minutes...

♪ Baby,
I'm gonna blow my cool... ♪

your theme song
for that moment in time.

♪ Every little inch of you

♪ You move it, you shake it
You use it like some other kind

♪ Want somebody, want somebody... ♪

♪ Abigail, ooh! ♪

You people are so lame.

Then, for a day
or a week or a month,

the song's either playing on your
headphones or it's in your head...

the theme song of your life
for that moment in time.

♪ Want somebody... ♪

Abigail, here we go.

♪ This is gonna take a while

♪ She won't let me make her smile

♪ Wanna give her everything,
everything

♪ That's what you do to me, girl

♪ This is gonna take a while

♪ I guess she knows
she can drive me wild

♪ Wanna give her everything,
everything

♪ That's what you do to me, girl

♪ I, I, I...

♪ I... I'm feeling... ♪

Alright, got it, got it.
Yes, got it!

Yeah!
Got it!

How's it going?

Sorry.

You nearly had me.

I wasn't even trying.

Yeah, no, me neither.

What are we up to?

57.

That's right. You just rest there.

Doing alright?

Yeah, yep.

You know the trick to push-ups?
You have to pace yourself, man.

That's a shame.

It's official! Oh, whoa.

Whoa, that's a lot of hits!

That's a lot of weirdos.

Huh, who knew Myles Kelly
had so many fans?

Hey, I'm a fan.
Uh, yes.

I rest my case.

That's cool.
Mm-hm, mm-hm.

I'm serious! They're old people
that don't dye their hair blue.

Katrina.
Mr Kennedy.

Talk to me about
your online presence.

I'm not sure what you mean, sir.

Tell me that you're not
posting videos of yourself online.

No, I...

My office, after class.

OK, sir.

Hi, Mr Kennedy!

There are academy guidelines

about posting personal information
on the internet.

It's not like
it was my phone number.

It won't happen again.

Sit.

I've been contacted
by some people at NAF Music.

They handle an artist
named Myles Kelly.

They want you for a small
cameo role in his new video.

Myles Kelly?

I wouldn't allow this
for every student,

but in your case, I think
it could be a positive experience.

So they want me to dance?

It's paid work, after class.

You have heard of this Myles Kelly?

Um... yeah.

Hey.

Scrambled eggs for lunch, huh?
Interesting choice.

You reckon?

Well, I always go poached
if I'm after protein.

I mean, scrambled's like,
what's in there?

Who knows? You can hide
anything in scrambled.

Wow, you've really thought
this through, haven't you?

Well, I like to know
what I'm putting into my body.

That's good for you.

You don't?
What?

Think about that sort of stuff?

Oh, constantly.

No wonder I thrashed you
in the last hundred metres.

Well, you didn't.

Any time you want a rematch...

Hey, this is it, guys -
ground zero of cool.

Yep, it's a building.

And seriously, guys,
I'm cool from here, yeah?

Oh, come on.
We're excited, you're excited.

Mm, I'm wild. Can't you tell?

Hey, mate. I'm Sammy. This is Kat.
She's here for the appearance.

OK. Yeah, no, she's dancing in
the video, this girl. She's dancing.

Mm, waiting around backstage.
I'm having a childhood flashback.

You say it like it wasn't awesome.

Kim, is it?
Uh, Kat.

I'm Tristanne. Hi.

You'll be a small
video insert within the clip...

basically what you do
in your online thingy.

OK.
Is MK here?

He'll be out later.

Why don't you and your friends
chill, eat some sushi

and stay out of the way
until we need you?

We're cool?

Why does every
R'n'B film clip look the same?

We've seen this one
before it's even started filming.

The moves are cheesy,
the costumes are cheesy.

I bet the song is cheesy.

Guys.
How you doing?

- I'm Myles.
- Myles.

Hi.
How you doing?

You must be Kat.
Yeah.

Hey, I liked your stuff.

Really?
Yeah.

So you wanna come
have a chat about the clip?

Um, yeah, alright.
OK, cool.

No, no, no, not us.

So, um, brie, fetta or camembert?

Uh, sorry, I didn't mean
for you to hear that.

Too late to backtrack now.

So if you think I'm so cheesy,
what's up with the tribute vid?

Oh, that.

See my friends?
Yeah.

They're fans.
And you're not?

I'm just not great
with the whole commercial thing.

OK, so you're into songs
that mean something.

Something like that.

Anyway, you know, this clip
is gonna be a lot of fun.

We've got great dancers,
great choreography...

Yeah, uh-huh.

Alright, you've already
hurt my feelings.

Tell me what you really think.

Honestly?
Honestly.

You don't think
it's a bit predictable?

Which bit?

Well, the chory is like,
"Yeah, whatever, seen it before."

And the costumes... I mean, come on.

Show me a self-respecting girl
that would wear that.

Alright, let's just slow down
on the honesty part, alright?

It's... You know, this whole thing,
it's not really my call.

I've got to trust these people -
the director, the choreographer.

Except it's your name on it.

But what do I know?

You're paying me,
so I'm gonna shut up now.

Your costume.

MK, phoner with Beats FM.
Yep, cheers.

How you doing, buddy? Myles Kelly.

We're cool?
Uh-huh.

Oh, hey, excuse me.
I'm looking for Patrick's office.

I'm guessing that this
is not the front entrance.

Oh, no, it's not.

I am so late.

Well, I guess I could
take you there.

Great.

Dana Strong. Ethan Karamakov.
Hi.

I loved 'Symbiosis'.
The intensity just blew me away.

Wow. Thank you.

Yeah, Ethan here works
in our kitchens. Don't ya?

Oh, I see.
Ethan, come on. We're busy.

'Tangents' would be an awesome
project to be a part of.

Oh, so you're auditioning?
Yeah, definitely.

What about you? You gonna audition?
Christian?

He's here on exchange
from a special-needs school.

He's got coordination
deficit disorder.

Uh, saucepans to get back to?

Yeah. Dana, this way.

I'm gonna be fine
from here, thanks, boys.

You're hyperventilating.

You have no idea.

Doing 'Tangents' would be
like a masterclass

in contemporary choreography.

Alright, um, who talks like that?

And you want to spend
your holiday taking class?

Correction - I'm gonna spend my
holiday performing with Dana Strong.

That audition? Nailed.

Sir.

Christian.
Hi.

Yeah, look, um, what happens
to me on the holidays?

Well, in line
with your bail conditions,

you'll be staying here.

There'll be a couple
of international students

sticking around on campus.

What's on your mind?
Nothing.

That's a weird angle.
What do you call that one?

Oh, that's THIS one.
Really? You think?

Guys, guys, you've gotta leave.
Up, up, up.

You know, we're dancers too.

You might want a dancer's
perspective on blocking the scene.

- Hey, guys.
- We're being thrown out.

Really? Can I come too?

- Let's go.
- Kat!

What are you doing?

Sorry, it's just
really not my thing.

Yeah, look, I really need
your help with something.

Can you stick around? Please?

Oh, yeah, stay.

Please.
OK.

Thank you, thank you. Come on.

So you want to change
the choreography?

Yeah, I guess I've just seen
this stuff a million times before.

I wanna get the girls out of the
booty shorts, put them in hoodies.

And, you know, the moves?
I want to try some new stuff.

Well, it's your video.

Yeah, it is.

Ha!

Five, six, seven, eight.

Boom, ka, boom, boom, ka.

One and two and three and four
and five, six, seven, eight.

It's perfect. We're cool?

Yeah, we're cool.

OK, guys, sh**ting
first thing tomorrow.

No black eyes, broken legs or
whiny phone calls from your mother.

So, Kat, got any plans for dinner?

Are you asking me out?

Maybe. What's your
favourite restaurant?

Mm, Tour d'Argent.

Right, I'll book a table.

Mm-hm, it's hard to get into.
Trust me.

Plus, it's in Paris.
And you call ME pretentious?!

Right, I'll take you out
anywhere you want,

just anywhere
geographically possible.

OK.

- Hey, kids!
- Hey.

You're late.
I know. Sorry.

But we brought
Crispy Crust provisions.

- Who's winning?
- Let's see 'em.

Oh, my gosh.

That'd be me!

Hey, Sammy.
Hey, Myles.

Hi, Myles.

Sorry, they're not
normally like that.

Your friends, they're great.
Don't worry about it.

They're, like, obsessed with you.

Doesn't the whole fame thing
do your head in?

Not really.

You know, I love singing,
so if I get to do that for a living,

who am I to complain, hm?

I'd hate it. I'd run and hide.

It's like ballet for you, right?

You love ballet, so...

Whoa, no, no. I don't love ballet.
We're on speaking terms most days.

Alright.

So, um, are all your relationships
that complicated?

Uh, I think I'll pass on that one.

Because, uh... they don't have to be.

Hi. Hey.

Hi. How you going?

OK, everyone,
find some space, spread out.

Hi. How you going?

And let's get underway.

You're gonna be great.

Oh, I need to pee. Again.

Don't worry. I always
get nervous before a big show.

This is not nervous.
I don't do nervous.

Are you sure?
Mm-hm.

Maybe it's never been
important to you before.

What?
Think about it. It's your own moves.

It's a little bit different

when it's your own creativity
on the line, hm?

Just wait till someone
makes fun of it on the internet.

OK, and five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

And roll.

Up. Good. That's nice.

And really dive into that roll.

Up. That's lovely.

OK, can I see Abigail, Christian,
Ethan, Morgan and Robbie?

Everyone else,
thank you very much. Great.

The rest of you,
come out into the centre.

Let's rehearse
the beginning again.

First positions. Playback.

♪ Hey, girl

♪ Such a pretty face... ♪

Thanks. We'll go for a take.
Final checks.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four. Good.

And playback.

That was beautiful, but it's not
quite what I'm looking for today.

But thank you for all your
hard work. It was great.

Now I have some questions
for you two boys, alone.

Ethan, you're first. Christian,
if you could wait outside for me.

That's a wrap, guys.

Thanks, everyone,
for a great day. Cool.

Whoo! That was fun!
It was brilliant!

She's right. You were brilliant.
I reckon you should come on tour.

Yeah, right.
I'm being serious.

Make a surprise career move.

Look, I know it's not your thing,

but, you know,
it'd be different with you.

We'd make it better with you.

Myles, you've got that prerecord.
Alright, cool.

Look, I'll be back,
but think about it.

Things don't have to be complicated.

You're going on tour
with Myles Kelly.

No, he didn't mean it.
He so did, Kat.

You're going on tour
and staying in hotel rooms

and celebrities and room service...

And following Myles Kelly around.
Yeah.

You know, all my life,

Mum has dragged me around
to these amazing places

where I've met these
incredible people

and it's great, T,
but it's never MY thing.

It was always about her.

So why do you want this?

Because it's my passion,
my absolute passion.

What do you... what do you mean?

OK, where do you see yourself
in five years?

New York.

Up there with the best, as a dancer,
but also a choreographer.

Um...

Come on, take a sh*t.

I don't know. I mean,
can't I just dance?

I've seen you dance.
I know what you can do.

So...?

So, Christian, there is a place
up for grabs right now

and if you want that place,
it's yours.

What do you mean, I got it? I won?
Mm-hm.

You're green,
and I think that's interesting.

But you have to talk to me first.

I want to know who you are
and what you are, where you want to go.

So talk to me.

I didn't come here to do therapy.

That's your answer?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm done.

But thanks anyway.

Hey, Kat! Are you leaving?

Yeah.

You've got your interview, so...

You know I was serious
about what I was saying before?

Yeah, I know.

And today, yesterday...
it was amazing.

But...

But...?

But it's your thing.

Myles? Are we cool?
Yeah, um, just two minutes.

I Ikind of have to go anyway,
do my own stuff.

And there's nothing I can say?

Don't. Please.

Myles?

I don't know how many
opportunities come along

which can change your life.

Myles.

Or how you walk away from them

when you realise
they don't quite fit...

so that you keep searching,

always believing that your very own
perfect song is out there...

even if it hasn't been written yet.

Whatever you do,
don't go anywhere.

I'm on the set of Myles Kelly's
brand-new video clip.

He is supercute
and I'll be chatting to him next.

So I got the call today.
Dana's invited me to do the workshop.

Nice one.

Hey, you were pretty good.
Thanks.

Just not quite good enough.

Ooh, it's coming, it's coming.

Kat!

Hey, everyone.
Welcome back to the show.

And today I'm joined by Myles Kelly.

How you doing?

I'm very good, thanks.
Good.

Now, your song, 'Hey, Girl'...

Isn't... isn't that the pizza guy?

Oh, well, no, not really.

But I've met someone recently

so I guess you could kind of say
it's her song now.

Wow.

I'm totally gonna pretend
that it's my song right now,

but could you please introduce it?
Because we are gonna play it.

Of course. This is my new song,
'Hey, Girl', by me, Myles Kelly.

And, Kat, if you're watching,
this one's for you.

Ohh!

♪ Hey, girl

♪ Such a pretty face
Too pretty for this world

♪ Alright
Always adore

♪ Beauty is skin deep
It's such a shame

♪ Alright, ooh

♪ Pick it up, oh, baby

♪ Pick it up, yeah

♪ Pick it up, oh, baby
Pick it up... ♪

When did you do that?

Oh, glad to know you pay attention.

Actually, it's quite cool.

♪ Hot enough

♪ You've got me dancing,
dancing all night long

♪ You've got me feeling the b*at
Let's push it on

Rock star!
Yes, yes!

Oh, guys!

Mwah!

That was cool.
That was awesome.
