- Go Mom!
That's right!

Wish me luck.

- We've got a...

- (both): ...BIG PROBLEM!

- But we can solve it.
- Oh, good!

- If we sort by size,
shape and color!

- Size, shape and color?
- Put down that cruller

and put big with big!
and small with small!

- That's sorting by size
as I recall!

Misty Copeland's really popular.

searching for her,
leaping all around!

- Very cool!

(impact and gasping from crowd)
- The Prince bumped

into one of the other
dancers! They're injured!

The curtains
are closing

right in the middle
of the show!

- Not so cool.

- Ooh, no doubt about it:
these toes are stubbed.

- We're two dancers short.
We have to end the show!

- I can't believe
this is happening.

- Wait, Ramone. Just now I saw
a couple stage hands dancing.

They were really good.
- The only stage hands

we have
are Peg and Cat.

- We'll do it!
(triumphant music)

- Aren't you, like,
pinching yourself, Cat?!

We're not only
gonna SEE Misty dance,

we're gonna dance
WITH Misty Copeland!

- I, uh, can't go
out there, Peg.

Ahem!/- What?!
- Sorry!

- Dancing is like your
favorite thing in the world!

And this is your chance to do it
with all those amazing dancers!

- But not one of those
dancers has a tail!

And I totally have a tail!

With all those non-tail
dancers, I'd look ridiculous!

- OK. I get it.

We've been sorting
socks and boards,

and saying this belongs with
that because of how it looks.

But you don't sort
dancers that way.

- Peg's right. Dancing isn't
about how you look, Cat.

It's how you make people
feel. And your dancing

makes me feel
totally awesome.

- Whoa-ho-ho!

- You might be
a cat with a tail,

but when you step onto
that stage and dance,

you can
become a prince.

- Ready to dance now, Cat?
- Call me Prince!
