- I'm angelina ballerina.


My friends and I are rehearsing for a wonderful show.


- Let's take it from the top.


And music.


[Stately violin and piano music]


♪


And dancers.


♪


Just beautiful, everyone.


Very lovely and peaceful and...


[Sudden musical flourish]


[Both giggling]


Now, mouselings, no laughing during tonight's performance.


- We'll try not to, ms. Mimi.


- But loud chords sound so funny.


[Giggling]


♪ Duh


[Laughter]


- An abrupt and noisy chord like that is called a sforzando.


- Wow.


Why would a composer put a chord like that


In a piece with so much, uh...


- Oomph?


- I read the composer wanted to make sure


No one fell asleep during his music.


- That's right.


Haydn was a musical genius


With a very good sense of humor.


Let's take a break,


Then do a final run-through before the performance.


See everyone in an hour.


- Ballets aren't usually funny, but--


- This one sure is.


- [Giggles]


Mais oui, I cannot stop giggling.


[Giggles]


- Neither... [Hiccups]


Can i.


[Hiccups]


- That didn't sound like a giggle.


- Yeah, it sounded kind of like a--


- [Hiccups]


- That's what I was going to say,


A hiccup.


- Oh... [Hiccups]


No!


I seem to have the... [Hiccups]


Hiccups.


- No worries, angelina.


- Everyone gets the hiccups sometimes.


- But we have a big show in an hour.


[Hiccups]


- I happen to know a super secret hiccup cure.


- Do you?


But how do you know it will work?


- Because it is french like me.


And french things are fantastique.


[Giggles]


No time to lose.


Off we go.


- I'm really lucky to have such good friends.


I just hope they can... [Hiccups]


Help.


[Hiccupping]


- Angelina.


- [Hiccups]


Here I am.


[Hiccups]


- Okay, angelina, listen carefully.


The secret french hiccup cure is--


- [Hiccups]


- Is very old.


And it only works if you--


- [Hiccups]


[Laughter]


[Hiccups]


[Hiccups]


- Curing your hiccups will be more difficult


Than I thought.


- This is... [Hiccups]


Not good.


- Now, what's left over from lunch?


Uh, hmm.


First we need french salad dressing in this cup.


And some dijon mustard.



[Giggles] magnifique.


- Here you... [Hiccups]


Go.


- How about some raspberries?


- If we call them framboises, the french word for raspberries,


They'll work just fine.


- Let me guess.


The super secret french cure for the hiccups


Is just taking everything french.


- And swallowing it?


- Exactement.


Now we add a little sparkling water.


Et voila.


- You really expect me to... [Hiccups]


Drink this?


- Only if you want to get rid of the hiccups


In time for the show.


- Uh.


[Groans]


[Gulping]


Ech.


- So?


- Do you still have the hiccups?


- I don't hear any.


- Neither do i.


I think they're gone.


My hiccups are totally, completely...


[Hiccups]


- Hmm.


Maybe the cure only works if you're french.


- Now what am i... [Hiccups]


Going to do?


- Actually, the girls on my gymnastics team


Taught me a hiccup cure.


- Do you have to be a gymnast for it to work?


- I don't think so.


But we need to go to the dance studio to do it.


- Then what are we waiting for?


- Let's boogie.


- Yes.


[Hiccups]


Let's.


What's your... [Hiccups]


Cure, alice?


And why do we have to be in the dance studio?


Do I have to do some special... [Hiccups]


Dance step?


- Uh, not exactly.


You just have to do a headstand like this.


- Of course.


How else would a gymnast cure hiccups?


- I don't really see how a headstand can help my...


[Hiccups]


Hiccups.


But I'll give it a try.


- [Grunts]


See? It's easy.


Now it's your turn.


Up you go.


- Good job, angelina.


- [Hiccups]


Thanks,


But I'm not so sure this... [Hiccups]


Cure is working.


- That's because there's more to it.


Now you have to count backwards.


- Really?


Okay.


Ten, nine, eight,


Seven, six, five,


Four, three,


Two, one.


I did it.


- Congrats.


Then you should be cured of all your...


- [Hiccups]


- Hiccups.


Hmm, now, why didn't that work?


- Maybe we should try it again.


Angelina, get back into a headstand.


- There's no time for that.


[Hiccups]


It's almost time for the show.


- I know a hiccup cure, but it's kind of weird.


- I'll try... [Hiccups]


Anything.


- All right, then.


First you put your thumbs in your ears.


Hey, I told you it was weird.


Then spin around three times fast.


Now spin in the opposite direction


Five times and even faster.


- Okay, here goes.


- So? Did it work?


- I think that maybe it did.


Thanks, a.z. You did it.


You cured my... [Hiccups]


- Uh-oh.


Was that what I thought it was?


- If you thought it was a hiccup,



Then yes, you're correct.


- [Sighs]


Oh, dear.


Not only do I still have the hiccups,


But I'm... [Hiccups]


Dizzy too.


How will I ever perform in the...


[Hiccups]


Show now?


[Stately piano and violin music]


[Hiccups]


[Hiccups]


[Hiccups]


[Hiccups]


Uh...


Hello down there.


[Hiccups]


- A very uplifting performance indeed.


- [Sighs]


- Don't worry, angelina.


We'll help you get rid of your hiccups.


- Yes, in fact,


There are hundreds more hiccup cures out there.


- But do any of them... [Hiccups]


Work?


- They must have worked for someone,


Or else they wouldn't be called cures.


- So how about if we try every single cure?


- Starting from number one.


- But that'll take too long.


It's almost show... [Hiccups]


Time.


- She's right.


We have to get back to the theater


For the final run-through.


- Who knows?


Maybe your hiccups will cure themselves


On the way there.


- I certainly hope... [Hiccups]


So.


- Do you still have the hiccups, angelina?


- [Hiccups]


- Never mind.


No need to answer.


- [Clapping]


Places, everyone,


For our final run-through before the show.


Everyone ready?


All ready.


- Ready.


[Hiccups]


Sort of.


[Stately violin and piano music]


♪


- I just remembered another cure, angelina.


Try to whistle with your eyes closed.


- [Whistles and hiccups]


No, didn't work.


- Try this one, angelina.


Jump up and say, "peanut butter."


- Peanut butter.


- What was that, angelina?


- Um, nothing.


♪


[Hiccups]


Thanks, but that didn't work either.


And the show is about to... [Hiccups]


Start.


- This is an emergency.


There must be some way to cure your hiccups.


- Got to be.


- We just haven't thought of it yet.


- I don't know.


I'm starting to think... [Hiccups]


There just isn't a cure for my--


[Loud chord]


[Screams]


- Angelina, are you okay?


- I'm fine.


Wow, that chord was really loud.


- You mean the forceful sforzando?


- Yes.


It made me jump way up high.


- And what?


- And lose my hiccups.


Listen.


- But I don't hear a thing.


- Exactly. We did it.


The sforzando cured my hiccups.


- It's never been proven,


But there is a theory that a surprising sound...


[Plays violin chord]


Can get rid of hiccups.


- I'm just so glad something finally worked.


- All right, places, everyone.


The show's on in five.


[Stately violin and piano music]


♪


- Having fun, angelina?


- [Giggles]



Yes, because I don't have the hiccups anymore.


[Sneezes]


Oh, no.


Here we go... [Sneezes]


♪


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


- I'm daniella.


- I'm criss.


- My name is niani.


We dance at the ballet hispanico school of dance.


- I'm going to show you two steps.


The first step is a latin step called the cha-cha.


One, two, cha-cha-cha.


Three, four, cha-cha-cha.


The next one is a hip-hop step, and all you have to do is jump.


Jump, jump.


Together, it goes one, two, cha-cha-cha,


Three, four, jump, jump.


One, two, cha-cha-cha,


Three, four, jump, jump.


Now you try.


[Latin piano music]


[Girls whooping]


- I started dancing at age two.


- I was four years old when I started dancing.


- I started dancing when I was five years old.


♪


The dance that we're doing is a mixture


Of latin movement and hip-hop.


- Latin dance is flowy, and hip-hop is sharper.


♪


- It look us about a month to learn the piece.


And then it took much, much longer than that


To make sure it was perfect to perform.


♪


- What I love about dancing


I'm with my friends all the time,


And it requires practice every single day,


And it's really fun.


♪


- Me encanta bailar. I love to dance.


♪


- Dance is something that everyone can do.


If you want to dance, then dance.


- I'm angelina ballerina.


Have I ever told you that I love surprises?


Well, I do.


[Doorbell rings]


- Oh.


- Delivery.


- Thank you.


- Wow, a big, big package.


Who's it for?


- Hmm.


It says it's for--


- Angelina.


- Oh.


- But it's also for polly.


- That's me!


It's for me too!


- "To my darling nieces."


- It's from auntie lavender.


Oh, I hope she sent us something with eva the diva on it,


Like a tea set


Or an eva the diva beanbag chair.


Eva the diva is my favorite character.


- What's this?


- It's a keyboard.


- A big keyboard.


- A big, big keyboard.


What's a keyboard?


- [Chuckles]


A keyboard is like a piano without the strings inside.


- Is it eva the diva?


- Hmm, no.


It's melody millie.


I've never heard of her.


- We can play notes by jumping.


[Plays note]


This is stupendous.


- And look at this stupendous box.


I can decorate it and use it again


To store my extra fabric.


- That's recycling.


- Exactly.


Aren't you girls forgetting something?


- Auntie lavender.


[Touch-tones beeping]


[Line ringing]


- Hello?


- Hi, auntie lavender. It's polly.


- Did you like your present?


- I love the keyboard.


- Oh, that's wonderful, dear.


- And I love you, auntie lavender.


- And I love you both too.


- Thank you so much.


[Keyboard notes playing]


[Sighs]


And maybe one day, I'll learn to love melody millie too.



- Take a look.


The keyboard has patterns.


- White note, black note.


White note, black.


- White.


White.


Black.


White.


Listen, no black notes.


♪


- Listen, no white notes.


♪


- Give it a try, angelina.


- No, thanks.


I'll just watch.


- This is a high note.


[Plays high note]


And this is a low note.


[Plays low note]


- Honey, your tea is ready.


- Look, a catalog.


- Wow.


- Oh, it has more melody millie toys.


[Gasps] and eva the diva.


I want everything in this catalog.


Let's show mum and dad.


Mum, dad, look.


An eva the diva catalog.


- Eva the diva?


- Yes, everyone at school


Has eva the diva clothing and toys.


- Can I have an eva the diva doll?


And the eva the diva t-shirt


And the eva the diva beach towel and--


- And I'd like the eva the diva ballet bag.


Please, mum.


Please, dad.


Look, it has musical notes.


- Like at your store.


- That's right.


Did you know that musicians read notes


The way you read words


So they know what sounds to play?


Come, I'll show you.


That white note is a middle "c."


- Middle "c."


[Plays note]


- And this black note is "b" flat.


Try it, angelina.


- That's okay.


I'll just watch.


- Yippee!


"B" flat!


- These symbols tell us to play a black note on the keyboard.


This is called a flat, and this is called a sharp.


- If you get me the eva the diva bag,


I'll be really, really sharp at learning to read music.


- Me too.


- Girls, you shouldn't be thinking about new things


When you just got a wonderful present.


- I won't.


Once I have an eva the diva bag,


I won't think about anything else.


Ah, eva, there's only one thing better than dancing with you,


And that's having a new ballet bag.


All brava!


Angelina!


Angelina!


Both angelina.


Angelina.


- Oh, as I was saying,


I really truly need an eva the diva ballet bag.


Everyone has one.


- I think you'll find that you're better off


Not following the crowd, my dear.


[Doorbell rings]


- Who is it?


- C'est moi, gracie.


[Giggles]


Mwah. Mwah.


I am back from my vacation in the south of brie.


- Welcome home, gracie.


- And, voila, look what I got as a souvenir.


- Oh.


[Sighs]


- Show gracie your new present, angelina.


- That's okay, mum.


- Are you sure?


You girls would love playing with the keyboard.


- But it's melody millie,


And gracie only likes eva the diva.


- Look at everything I can fit in my bag, angelina


Shoes, leg warmers, barrette,


Water bottle, and apple.


- I have the same things in my bag.


- Angelina, gracie.


Wait up.


Look.


Guess what I got.


You won't believe it.



I saved up my holiday money and bought an...


Both eva the diva ballet bag.


- Oh.


Wow, everyone has an eva the diva bag.


- Not everyone.


I don't. And I don't care.


- [Gasps]


You don't?


- I don't like having what everyone else has.


I love being different.


It means I can have my very own look.

- Oops.


For me, it's not so much fun being different.


But it would be fun


Getting my very own eva the diva ballet bag.


- I have an idea, angelina.


What if you earned the money so you could get your bag?


- Wow, do you think I could?


- Sure.


I could help.


We could have a lemonade stand.


- And then we both could get brand-new eva the diva bags.


- I don't really want one, angelina.


It's just not me.


But I could help you.


- Really truly?


- Really truly.


Did we make enough money?


- Not quite.


- Wow.


We spent our whole saturday selling lemonade.


How much more money do you need?


- Just a little bit more.


Finally I have enough to buy an eva the diva ballet bag.


[Bell rings]


Gracie, alice, guess what.


- What?


- Guess.


- We give up.


- Vici and I sold lots and lots of lemonade,


And now I can get the eva the diva bag.


- That's nice, angelina,


But I'm not into eva the diva anymore.


- Oh, mum.


That's a stupendous box.


- It's the box that your keyboard came in.


I redecorated it,


And I'm using it for all my leftover fabric.


- I love it.


- Thanks, angelina.


It's a shame I can't recycle this material too.


- Hmm.


[Doorbell rings]


[Gasps] that must be vici.


- Hi, angelina.


Hi, mrs. Mouseling.


- Hello, vici.


- Hi, vici.


Let's go upstairs.


- Aren't you girls going to mrs. Thimble's


To buy your eva the diva bag?


- I think I have a better idea.


Come, vici.


My idea is so stupendous


That I'm now in the mood to make some music.


♪ Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do ♪


♪ Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do ♪


This scale sounds the same, just a little higher.


- Excellent, angelina.


- Thanks, dad.


- What changed your mind about playing this keyboard?


- Just because it isn't eva the diva


Doesn't mean it can't be tons of fun.


I love it.


- I'm proud of you, angelina.


You've learned a lot in a short time.


- Thanks, dad.


- Wow, that's an incredible bag, angelina.



- And I love yours, vici.


- Thanks.


Mine's a jazzy vici bag.


- And mine's an angelina ballerina bag.


- Where did you get them?


- We made them from recycled materials.


Angelina's mom helped us sew them.


- And we donated the money we earned


From our lemonade stand


To the chipping cheddar earth club.


- Wow, I wish I had a bag like yours.


Mine is so normal.


It's the same as everyone else's.


- I thought you loved eva the diva.


- Oui, oui.


But I think I am getting a little tired of her.


- And I love having my own style


And not following the crowd.


Hello. I'm angelina ballerina.


My friends are going to take something old,


Add it to something new,


And make something fantastic.


They're mixing a little latin-- that's the old--


With a bit of hip-hop, which is new.


They do a latin cha-cha.


One, two, cha-cha-cha,


And now hip-hop,


Jump, jump.


The cha-cha's smooth and flowing,


While hip-hop's rather fast and sharp.


I love that the different steps


Make something simply stupendous.


- Hola. Marco here.


Whoa, is that violin missing a middle?


Nah, that's an electric violin.


It's supposed to look like that.


You plug it in, and the music comes out of a speaker.


And over here is an acoustic viola.


"Acoustic" means the sound comes right from the instrument.


Violas and violins are string instruments


That were only used for classical music at first.


But now they are used for jazz, rock--


Oh, you name it!


Man, those guys really make the strings sing.
