[Bell ringing]
- I'm angelina ballerina.
And today ms. Mimi is bringing a special visitor
To our dance class...
All mr. Chirpyface!
- Ms. Mimi's pet canary.
- Ms. Mimi, is it really okay for this bird to join our class?
- Why, certainly, marco.
Mr. Chirpyface is a very musical bird.
He loves to sing.
- [Twittering]
- [Gasps]
- He loves to dance.
- [Twittering]
- He even likes listening to classical music.
Tchaikovsky's bluebird pas de deux
From sleeping beauty is his favorite.
[Naturalistic classical music]
♪
Hear those woodwind instruments?
Don't they sound like birds?
- [Twittering]
- Mr. Chirpyface thinks so.
[Laughter]
- He certainly does.
- [Twittering]
All right, class.
Now it's your turn.
Let's all dance like birds.
Flap your wings.
Fly into the sky.
Very nice, class.
That's the way.
Okay, mr. Chirpyface.
It's time for your solo.
- [Twittering]
- Mr. Chirpyface,
You are absolutely, positively the most musical pet
I've ever met.
- [Twittering]
- So what did you think of our little visitor, angelina?
- He's really, truly fabulous.
Could I come over and visit him someday?
- Why, of course.
- How about tomorrow?
- Tomorrow I'm going to visit my sister up in wensleydale.
- Is mr. Chirpyface going too?
- No, that's too long a trip for such a little bird,
So I'm going to get someone to watch him.
Know any good birdsitters?
- Me.
I would really, truly love to birdsit mr. Chirpyface.
[Floral orchestral music]
- [Twittering]
[Applause]
- That's very sweet of you to offer, angelina,
But taking care of a pet is a big responsibility.
Mr. Chirpyface needs fresh birdseed every morning,
Water every afternoon,
And lots and lots of love and attention.
- I can do all those things.
Plus, mr. Chirpyface can stay at our house
So he won't get lonely.
- Well, as long as it's all right with your parents,
Consider yourself hired.
- Hooray! Hooray!
Did you hear that, mr. Chirpyface?
I'm going to be your birdsitter.
- [Twittering]
- So this is the famous mr. Chirpyface.
He's quite a handsome fellow.
- Can he really sing and dance?
- He most certainly can.
Perhaps angelina can help him put on a little recital.
- Is that his overnight bag?
- Mm-hmm.
I packed all of his things
Birdseed, water bottle, even his favorite toy.
- [Twitters]
- A birdcall.
[Shrill whistling]
- [Twittering]
- Listen to him whistle.
- I want to whistle too.
[Puffing air]
[Laughter]
- Well, that's it.
Thanks again.
And remember, fresh birdseed every morning,
Water every night,
And lots of love all day long.
- I won't forget, ms. Mimi.
You can count on me.
I hope you're hungry, mr. Chirpyface,
Because it's time for your breakfast.
There.
How's that?
- [Twitters]
- You're happy?
Good, I'm happy too.
♪ Tweet, tweet, twiddly-tweet ♪
- [Twittering]
- Good idea, mr. Chirpyface.
You keep singing, and I'll keep dancing.
- [Twittering]
- Ta-da.
- [Twittering]
- If you like that, I can do a tour jete.
Would you like me to show it to you?
- [Twittering]
- Okay, just jump in the air,
Pick up your wings, and twirl.
Very good, mr. Chirpyface.
You did it.
Here's a treat for you.
It's a dried apple ring.
Come and get it.
[Gasps]
Oh, no.
Come back, mr. Chirpyface.
You're not supposed to be out of your cage.
- Hi, angelina.
We came by to visit mister--
- Quick, shut the door.
Stop! Come back!
Hurry, we've got to catch mr. Chirpyface
And put him back in his cage.
Mr. Chirpyface?
Oh, no.
Where could he be?
- He's got to be in the house somewhere.
- Here, mr. Chirpyface. - Here, mr. Chirpyface.
- [Twittering]
- Mr. Chirpyface.
- Here, birdie, birdie, birdie.
- Where are you, mr. Chirpyface? - Mr. Chirpyface.
- [Whistles]
- Where could mr. Chirpyface be?
- And why isn't he answering us?
Don't birds always answer to whistling?
- [Gasps]
Maybe it has to be the right kind of whistle.
[Clanking]
- Angelina, listen.
I can play the drums and whistle.
[Clanking and blowing]
Well, almost whistle.
- Very nice, polly,
But that's not a drumstick.
It's a birdcall,
And we really, truly need it.
[Snapping]
Oh, no.
Mr. Chirpyface's favorite toy.
It's broken.
- Now what are we gonna use?
- My recorder.
It works like a birdcall.
[Tooting]
- Let's hope it sounds like one too.
♪
Hmm.
We need another instrument.
Something that sounds like real birds,
You know, like the woodwinds in the song ms. Mimi played.
- You mean the bluebird pas de deux
From tchaikovsky's sleeping beauty?
- That's it.
Mr. Chirpyface loved that piece.
Remember how he danced and sang along?
[Whistles]
- Yes, but there's just one problem.
We don't have that music.
- True, but your dad has those instruments.
- There you go.
One birdcall, good as new.
- Thanks, dad.
- Now for some other woodwind instruments.
Hmm. Let's see.
I've got some flutes and clarinets
And piccolos and oboes.
- But we don't know how to play them, dad.
- I think this pennywhistle will do the trick.
Here, give it a try.
[Shrill toot]
Pretty good.
Now use your fingers.
[Shrill tooting]
- Hey, you sound like a bird.
- Now hurry home and find that canary.
[Shrill tooting]
- I don't understand it.
Why isn't mr. Chirpyface answering?
- You don't think he got out, do you?
- It's starting to look that way.
- Poor mr. Chirpyface,
Out there somewhere all alone,
And poor ms. Mimi.
Now she doesn't have a pet.
I feel terrible.
All this was my fault.
I wanted to be a good birdsitter,
But it's so much harder than I ever thought.

Wait, that really is a bird singing.
- And it's coming from upstairs.

You found him.
Thanks, polly.
Now let's put him back in his cage where he'll be safe.
There, mr. Chirpyface.
It's a good thing polly found you.

[Drumming and tapping]
- I started dancing when I was seven.
- I like the rhythm,
And I like being with my friends.
- The sounds that come out of your feet
Are, like, really, really cool.
- Whenever I tap-dance,
It's, like, whatever energy I have,
I put into my feet.
- The piece that we're performing
Is in honor of bill "bojangles" robinson,
A very famous tap dancer,
And it is a collection of his most favorite steps.
Tap dancing is like drumming
Because the same sounds that can come out of a drum
Can also come out of our feet.
- Here are the taps that make good sounds.
This one usually makes a lighter sound,
And this is one is a deeper sound.
- Learning new things,
Like steps that you don't know, is always hard,
But once you practice, it's pretty easy.
- I like dancing so much
Because I'm around my friends all the time,
But I'm still doing something that I love to do.
- I'm angelina ballerina.
Today we got sent something very special in the mail.
- , .
Ready or not, here I come.
Oh, dear.
I have no idea where polly is.
She is such a good hider.

Wherever you are.
- Do you know where I am, angelina?
- [Giggles] under the table?
- Wow, you're a good guesser.
- That was the mailmouse
With a package from grandma mouseling.
It's for polly and angelina.
Too bad they're hiding.
- A package?
- A music box.
- And pink things.
- Grandma wrote a note.
"Dear polly, I know you always wanted a music box.
This one plays my favorite song, the skaters' waltz."
- Ooh, a music box for me!
- "And for angelina,
"I've included lots of pink things.
Love, grandma."

Princess polly,
How about we have a dance contest
To see who can waltz the longest?
Both what?
- Angelina, we want her to dance less,
Not more, remember?
- She'll get so tired that she'll have to stop waltzing.
- A dance contest great idea.
We can waltz forever.
- I can waltz longer than that.
- See? She's gonna need a nap very soon.

Huh?
No. No more dancing.

So we don't have much time to rehearse...
Unless...
We hide polly's music box.

Then we'll un-hide it.

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.
I'm listening to my friend yibiao play the flute.
Did you know that flutes have been around
Since the time of the caveman?
Flutes are wind instruments, just like recorders.
That means air makes the sound.
Do you see how yibiao puckers his lips
To push air through the flute
And his fingers cover the holes to make the different pitches?
I want to play flute at the next camembert parade.
It's easier to carry than a tuba.
Gracias, yibiao.
