- I'm angelina ballerina.

I'm making

A very important list

While my sister polly

Is pretending to go to school,

Just like me.

- Look, mum.

I'm angelina,

And this is my pretend book bag.

- That's nice, polly.

Oops.

I mean, angelina.

- Mum, do you have

Some paper and a pencil?

- Here, use these.

- Thanks, polly.

- You mean,

"Thank you, angelina."

[Doorbell rings]

I'll get it.

I'll get it.

- What's all

The excitement about?

- It's ms. Mimi's birthday, dad.

Both: hi, polly.

- Come on in.

- Ms. Mimi's at school

Grading papers on saturdays,

Isn't she?

- Mm-hmm, until : ,

And then she walks right past

The lunchtime theater.

That's where

The surprise will be.

- Hurry, everybody's here.

Both: hello, mrs. Mouseling.

- Hi.

Both: hello, children.

- Now I will be polly again.

- Oh, good.

I missed polly.

- But this is still

My pretend book bag.

- Lovely.

Would you mind

Taking some muffins

In to angelina's friends,

Please?

- [Giggles]

Your muffins are so yummy.

- I made a list of what

We need for the party.

- Does your list say

We need a present?

- Of course.

- If we put all

Our money together,

We can buy something

Really, really nice.

- Uh, is it okay

If I stay here

While you go shopping?

I'm composing a song.

- Pom-cosing?

- [Chuckles]

Composing.

Creating a song.

I'm writing the music.

[Soft guitar music]

♪ ♪

- I like it.

- Thanks, but it's only

The beginning.

I still need

To write the lyrics.

- Lyrir-ir-rics?

- Lyrics are the words

To a song,

Like icing on a cake.

- [Gasps]

Speaking of cakes,

Did you put birthday cake

On the list?

- Of course.

Mum said she'll bake one.

[Cheering]

- Whee!

Yeah!

Marco, don't you want

To jump up and down

And make squeaky noises too?

- Thanks.

I'll pass.

- Okay, maybe we can help you

After we get ms. Mimi

Her present.

- I can contribute.

- Thanks, marco.

Bye, mum.

- Be careful, girls.

It's a very blustery day.

- Oh, I hope

Those incredible slippers

I saw at twinkle toes

Are still there.

- Oh, they're so amazing.

- Ms. Mimi's

Going to love them.

- She sure will.

- [Gasps]

This is the most

Wonderful present ever.

Thank you.

- It was angelina's idea.

All: angelina! Angelina!

Angelina! Angelina!

- Angelina.

- Huh?

What?

- The lady in twinkle toes

Said the slippers

Are made of satin

And somebody

Sewed them by hand,

But we don't have

Enough money.

- But we need to get ms. Mimi

A great present

To show her

How much we love her.

- We need a present,

And we don't have

Much time left.

- Oh, wait!

Those ballet slippers

Were made by hand.

- And all of us have hands.

- We would just need

Some satin.

- Oh, mum has satin

In her sewing basket.

All: we can make

The slippers ourselves.

Yay!

- [Whistling]

- Isn't that marco's song?

- It is.

It keeps

Popping into my head too.

[Giggling]

- Mum, where's the thread

And ribbons?

- In the sewing cupboard.

- And how long before

Ms. Mimi's party?

- An hour and a half.

- Oh, yes.

[Giggling]

[Soft guitar strumming]

- I love your song, marco.

You're a wonderful composer.

- Oh, thanks,

Mrs. Mouseling.

- Um, maybe we should make

A tutu instead?

Both: a tutu?

- Angelina, I forgot.

Mum wanted you to know,

The cake's all done.

- Ms. Mimi's cake.

- Oh, I hope it's really big.

- Well, it's pretty,

But I think it needs

To be bigger.

- A lot bigger.

- We need a humongous cake

To go with our special

Birthday present.

- Vici, help me make more cake.

- I'll help!

I'll help!

- You can help me

Make the tutu.

- I can?

Whoa!

- Add some more muffins.

Smush them in.

Can you please put

A few more muffins in, vici?

Thanks.

And we'll need a lot of icing.

- Coming up.

- [Laughs]

- Ha.

Hey.

The scissors kind of

Got out of control.

- [Gasps]

Uh-oh.

[Gasps]

- Oopsie.

- Ah.

- [Gasps]

Oh!

Oooh.

- Well, at least the slippers

And the tutu will be nice.

- Whoa.

- Oh, no.

What happened to the cake?

- What happened

To the slipper?

- We cut it by mistake.

- Oh.

What about the tutu?

- Uh, it came out even worse.

- Uh-oh.

And we have to leave

For the party in ten minutes.

- Um, I'll try

And fix the slipper.

- I can help with the cake.

- I can lick the spoon.

- And we can do dance to my song

While we work, polly.

Reminded me of ms. Mimi.

[Gasps]

Uh-oh.

Ms. Mimi.

There's still so much to do.

Cake, gifts, decorations--

We've go to put up balloons.

- There isn't even one balloon,

Not anywhere

In this whole school.

- Well, I think we did

A pretty good job

Using daisies as decorations.

- Ms. Mimi does like flowers.

- [Gasps]

Look.

The cake is here.

- Whoa.

Whoa.

Ooh.

Oh!

Whoa!

Ugh.

Ah.

- Angelina!

Angelina, I ran out of fabric

To fix the slipper,

And now we don't even

Have a present.

[Both gasp]

- Uh-oh.

Ahh...

[Sneezes]

Oh, no.

[Groans]

All: [gasp]

- Uh-oh.

[Wind blows]

- No gift,

No decorations,

No cake.

Not a very good

Birthday party.

[Sniffles]

We can't have a birthday party

Without a cake.

- We could use my muffin

As a cake.

- Thanks, polly.

Polly, what else

Is in that bag?

- Lots of stuff.

It's my school bag.

- 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 liked 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 classical 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 I'm a new student

At camembert academy.

In some ways, my school

Is like any other school.

- So, if six ladybugs

Are sitting on three leaves,

How many ladybugs are left

If two are scared off

By a cricket?

- Ooh, I know.

But in other ways,

Camembert is very,

Very different.

All: pirouette left.

Pirouette right.

Tap your toes

With all your might.

[Tapping]

Crouch like a cricket.

Ready, steady, hop.

Camembert kids never stop.

Chirp-chirp.

Chirp-chirp.

Chirp-chirp.

Chirp-chirp.

- [Laughs]

- What's going on?

Why is everyone

Acting like a cricket?

- Uh-oh.

Angelina said "cricket."

[Laughter]

All: pirouette left.

Pirouette right.

- Come on, angelina.

Join in.

- What do I do?

- Follow me.

All: tap your toes

With all your might.

[Tapping]

Crouch like a cricket.

Ready, steady, hop.

Camembert kids never stop.

- That's the way, angelina.

Now you've got it.

Very good.

[Laughter]

- Then all of a sudden,

Everyone was hopping

All over the room like--

- Please, don't say

You-know-what.

- But it was so much fun,

Like a silly dance.

- Yeah, but, it wasn't

Dancing to a song.

It's marching to a rhythm.

All: one, two, three, four.

Watch us march

Across the floor.

- Ha.

[Laughter]

It's called

The camembert cheer.

It's a really old tradition

That only camembert kids

Know about.

- Like the school handshake.

- [Laughing]

Oh, I love camembert academy:

The cheers and handshakes,

The teachers and dance classes.

This school

Is almost perfect.

All: almost?

- What's missing?

- Alice.

[Sighs]

She's my oldest friend.

We've been friends

For as long as I can remember.

- She must be so amazing.

- She's amazing, all right.

So what are we playing?

Let's play school.

Both: yes!

- Hmm, okay.

- We'll be the students,

And you can be the teacher.

[Clanking]

- Schooltime.

- Um, alice?

I mean, teacher.

At our school,

The bell doesn't go

"Clang-clang-clang."

It goes,

"Ting-ta-ting-ting-ting".

- She's right.

Like this.

[Tinkling]

- Oh, okay.

Thanks.

[Tinkling]

Schooltime.

Everybody come to class.

Good morning, class.

All: good morning,

Ms. Alice.

- Who wants to take attendance?

Gracie?

- Oh, you forgot something.

- Forgot what?

- Why, the silly

Morning stretch, of course.

- At camembert academy,

The first thing we do

Every morning

Is stand by our desks

And stretch to the sky,

Like this.

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

Everybody up and stretch.

- Uh, but then we bend way over

And touch our toes.

- Okay, now touch your toes.

- Oh, and then

We give our bodies

A big shake-shake-shake.

- [Giggles]

Shaking is fun.

- Uh-oh, ms. Alice.

- Huh?

- Stretch time is over.

- It is?

Okay, then.

Let's all take our seats and--

Yes, marco?

- After the stretch,

We always do

The school handshake.

- Oh, the school handshake?

Now do we take attendance?

- Why, that's up to you,

Ms. Alice.

You're the teacher.

- [Sighs]

Oh.

[Tinkling]

Circle time, class.

- Huh?

Circle time?

Before dance studio?

- At camembert, we usually have

Circle time after lunch.

- [Sighs]

- Ms. Alice is right.

At our old school,

We had circle time

In the morning before snack.

We could do it that way.

- Let's try it.

- Well, okay.

- Sounds good.

- Ah.

- Class, today I thought

I'd read you my favorite story:

Goldilocks

And the three crickets.

All: crickets?

Pirouette left.

Pirouette right.

- Now what are they doing?

- The camembert cheer.

All: tap your toes

With all your might.

[Tapping]

- It's not fair.

I was reading my story.

- I know, but--

All: camembert kids never--

- Stop!

It's my turn.

[All gasp]

- This play date

Is not going well.

Why don't we listen

To ms. Alice now?

- Remember, it was my turn.

- Your turn?

- First we played

Camembert school.

Now we're supposed to be playing

Chipping cheddar school.

- But we don't know how

You do things at your school.

- And I don't know how

You do things at camembert.

- That's why

We should take turns,

So everyone can have some fun.

- Okay, but who goes first?

- Oh.

- Knock, knock.

Lunchtime.

Are you kids having fun?

- We're mostly not agreeing

On what we should play.

- We wanted to play school.

- But some want to play it

Like my new school,

And some want to play it

Like my old school.

- Hmm.

Deciding which school to play

Could be a problem.

What if you all went

To a brand-new school?

- Let's make up our own school,

With our own way

Of doing things.

- Like our very own handshake?

- And school cheer?

- We can make up

All sorts of things.

- Let's do it.

[All cheering]

- [Chuckles]

Sounds to me like school is

Back in session.

[Clinking]

[Melodic clinking]

- Uh-oh,

There's the school bell.

You know what that means.

All: handshake time!

[Laughter]

- Let's make up a cheer

For our new school.

- We could start

With a square dance do-si-do.

All: yes!

- And now

Let's do an arabesque.

- Now we just have to think

Of a word.

- Huh?

- You know, like "chirp-chirp."

- Hmm, I've got it.

How about "friends"?

All: yeah.

- Well then, come on.

What are we waiting for?

- 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,

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.
