- I'm angelina ballerina.


And I'm excited


Because today we've got an extra saturday class.


- Come on in, mouselings.


It's so nice to see you all on a saturday.


- What are we going to learn today, ms. Mimi?


- We're going to learn a new word about music.


- A new word?


- Listen closely and repeat after me


Just the way I'm speaking.


[Softly] today we will learn the word "dynamics."


All today we will learn the word "dynamics."


[Louder] today we will learn the word "dynamics."


All today we will learn the word "dynamics."


- Good.


What was different between those two sentences?


- The first one was soft, and the second one was loud.


- Exactly.


We changed the dynamics,


The loudness and the softness.


Music and dance use dynamics too.


So what was the new musical word again?


All dynamics!


- Right.


- But what does dynamics have to do with dancing, ms. Mimi?


- I'll show you.


Could you and angelina please help me?


- You've got it.


- Let's play some music,


And you can dance however the music makes you feel.


- Can't wait.

- Bravo, mouselings.


That was lovely.


Did you change your movements as the music changed?


- Yes.


When the music was quieter, we did tiny little movements.


- And when the music was louder, we did jetes and pirouettes.


- Good.


Now it's time for you all to have a turn.

Great job, everybody.


- Saturday classes are the best.


- And they really help us catch up with all the things


We don't have time to do in the week.


Okay, see you soon.


And don't forget, it's mother's day tomorrow.


- [Gasps] mother's day?


- Are you all right, angelina?


- I forgot all about mother's day.


I didn't get my mum anything.


But when I got home,


Mum was having problems of her own.


- Oh, dear.


- Everything okay, mum?


- Of course, dear.


But I've just found these.


- What's in them?


- Their boxes from the old house.


We haven't gotten round to unpacking them yet.


They're all my old cookbooks,


And I need to put them somewhere.


- Wow, there's tons of them.


- I know.


Way more than I remember.


- Where can you put them, mum?


- I can put them in there.


But I'm just so busy.


I promised mrs. Thimble I'd sew up her cushions for her.


- Hmm.


- Are you okay, angelina?


You looked a bit worried when you came in.


- I'm fine, mum, just fine.


Bye.



Psst!


Polly.


It's mother's day tomorrow.


- Oh, what's mother's day?


- It's a day where you give your mum a present


And do nice things for her.


- I love my mum.


- I do too, but we didn't get anything for her.


- We could make a card.


- Great idea, polly.


I think I've got some paper.


Here.


And some crayons.


That'll be so nice, polly.


But I wish we could give her something else as well.


- There, I've finished the cushions.


- Shh! Mum, polly's having a nap.


- But angeli--


- But I thought I just heard her.


- You did, but, uh...


She suddenly fell back to sleep again.


She's very tired.


- Okay.


Lucky her.


- [Giggles]


- I haven't even had time to sort out my books.


- [Gasps]


The books!


I've just thought of the perfect present.


- Yay!


- [Laughs]


The next morning was mother's day.


- There you are, angelina,


Just like your mother likes them.


- [Sniffs]


Mm, carrot and raisin.


- Come and sit down here.


- [Laughs]


Thank you.


- Since today is a special day...


- For a special mum...


- We've made you your favorite breakfast muffins...


With a little help from dad.


- Here. For you.


- Happy mother's day.


- "As a lovely present for a lovely mum,


"We're going to unpack the boxes of books for you


And put them away neatly."


Ah!


- It's so you can have a nice rest,


Because you've been so busy.


Right after breakfast,


Mum put her feet up while we got to work.


- I'm looking forward to a peaceful rest.

Sorry, dad.


- Sorry.


- We'll try and be quieter; I promise.

- What is it, angelina?

And we've made too much noise


And a big mess.

- No, polly.


We need to put them away now.

I know.


Ms. Mimi was talking about dynamics yesterday.


Loud music may make you want to jump around,


But quiet music may make you feel like dancing very softly.


Polly, would you like to help me?


- Yes, please with cheese.


- I want to sing a quiet little song.


Can you sing along with me?


- Mm-hmm.


Guess so.


- And while we're doing it,


We can put the books away.


- Okay, angelina.

Now, that's a whole lot better, I have to say.

- Really neatly.


- Oh, thank you, girls.


I can't wait to see what you've done.


- I loved your quiet singing, girls.


And so did mum.


- It's all because of dynamics, dad.


Quieter music can make you do things quietly.


- Yay!


We did dynamics.


- Oh, thank you, my darlings.


You have done a dynamite dynamic job.


I can't believe how lucky I am


To have two such thoughtful girls.


- And we're so lucky to have such a lovely mum.


Both happy mother's day.


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


- My name is kevin.


- My name is wil b.


- My name is djtk.


And the name of the group is black violin.


- I play the acoustic viola,


And kevin plays the electric violin.


[Upbeat violin music]


♪


We met in middle school,


And we ended up being good friends ever since.


I was years old when I started playing the viola.


- My mother made me start playing the violin


When I was nine years old.


But then after I played it for a while,


Then I just started to love it.


- We incorporate hip-hop and classical,


And we kind of mix it together.


♪


- Brandenburg is one of the first songs


That a violinist would learn.


So we took that song,


And we kept the original beginning,


And then we decided to switch it up


And add a dj element to it


So that it has a hip-hop vibe and feel.


- ♪ Breakdown


♪


- So basically, on the record,


I turn the record back and forth


On certain parts of the song


To get different rhythms of the different instruments


Played on the song.

- We understand each other so well


That he knows when to kind of, like, lay back


And let me solo and vice versa.


- Well, I like playing with wil


Because he has a kind of natural music ability.


So I get to feed off of it every day onstage,


And we can make beautiful music that way.


- I'm angelina ballerina,


And today mum and polly are planning a big surprise.


- Oh, I can't wait!


- Polly, it's a secret, remember?


- So don't say anything to dad about father's day at breakfast.


- I can keep a secret. Promise.


- Good morning, everyone.


- Here he comes.


- Can I tell him?


Can i?


- Polly!


- Good morning, dear.


- Hi, dad.


- Good morning, everyone.


Today's a big day, isn't it?


- Oh, yes, it's--


- Yes, it is.


- I knew it.


- We're all going to the park.


- Huh?


- Huh?


- To play all day.


- Huh?


- Right, polly?


- Oh, that's right.


- And I have a new dress for mrs. Fur to finish.


- So we better eat our breakfast.


- Oh.


Ah, I thought this was a big day that happens only once a year.


- I'm sure it'll be lovely, dear.


Don't you have an appointment this morning?


- Yes.


I'm seeing mr. Mouseman.


His daughter's getting married,


And he wants klezmer music at the wedding.


- Klezmer?


- Polly, dad will tell us later.


He has to hurry, remember?


- Well, polly, klezmer music is an old yiddish tradition


From moustern europe created for celebration and dancing.


- I love dancing.


Here's your lunch, dad.


Mr. Mouseman is waiting for you.


- Tell me more, dad.


- In the old days, klezmer wasn't written down.


Musicians taught it to their children,


Who taught it to their children.


- Who taught it to their children.


- Who taught it to their children.


- [Chuckles] that's right.


At first, it was learned by listening, by ear.


- And klezmer is still played today.


- Especially at weddings and parties.


- Parties?


We're planning a--


Woo-hoo!


[Giggles]


- You'd better hurry, dear.


Please send my regards to the mousemans.


- Bye, dad. - Bye, dad.


- Oh, dear.


My family must have forgotten father's day.


- Hmm.


[Laughter]


Dad thinks we forgot.


- But we didn't!


- Hurry, we have to get to the music store before dad does.


- So he doesn't find out our secret.


- Hi, marco.


- Hi.


I was hoping your dad's music store would be open.


- He'll be here soon.


We're setting up a father's day surprise.


- It's a secret.


- Are you doing something for your dad?


- Not till dinner.


I could help you now.


- Super!


- A balloon for dad.


- And how about a streamer here?


- And his favorite treat there.


- Yummy carrot pie.


- Hello.


I thought I heard someone.


- Hi, mrs. Thimble.


- Oh, my, it looks wonderful in here.


Matilda, dear, I could use your advice


On my new cheese display.



- You can go.


We'll finish the decorating, mum.


- Thank you, angelina.


Be right back.


- This is fun, angelina.


[Laughter]


- Watch out for the french horn!


- Ooh!


Oh!


- [Gasps]


Whoopsie.


- Uh-oh.


This is not a good father's day surprise at all.


Oh, how are we going to put all this sheet music


Back the way it was?


- Maybe your dad had it in alphabetical order.


"A, b, c"?


- Or by the composer.


- Like mousezart or mousetekovitch?


- Or maybe by kinds of music.


That's it! Look!


See, this pile is jazz.


And here is hip-hop.


- Look, it's dad.


- He's here?


Already?


Where?


- Here.


- It's my dad playing music.


- "Maurice mouseling's klezmer band."


- Wow, dad used to have a klezmer band?


No wonder mr. Mouseman wants him to play at the wedding.


- Dad told us all about klezmer music.


- I know about it.


At my friend ari's birthday party,


There was a klezmer band.


- Did everyone dance?


- Oh, yes.


We did a folk dance ari's grandmother learned


In mousecow, russia.


- Stupendous.


- In moustern europe, a fiddler played


To let everyone know it was time to come together.


Look!


Here's a recording of your dad's klezmer music.


- Wow!


Let's listen.

- 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, folk, you name it.


Man, those guys really make the strings sing.


- Hello, I'm angelina ballerina.


Today, we're going to see some ballroom dancing.


Now, this is called merengue.


It's a latin dance from the dominican republic.


It has a two-step b*at like a march.


Right, left, right, left.


My, what a fancy dance.


Sometimes, ballroom dancing is called social dancing.


But whatever you call it, ballroom is simply a ball.
