- I'm angelina ballerina,

And today could be the most creative day ever

At camembert academy.

- And so, students,

We're calling this friday our very first ever

"Make it all up day."

- "Make it all up day"?

- You're all going to create

An original project of your very own

And present it to the class.

- Can it be a poem?

- Or a musical composition?

- Or a song?

- I could choreograph a dance no one has ever seen before.

It could start with a demi plie

Followed by an arabesque.

Then I'll go into a pas de chat,

And I can add a grande jete.

And finally, pirouette.

- Brava, angelina.

A wonderful start for "make it all up day."

- [Giggles]

- Now, angelina,

Do you think you can do exactly what you did before

One more time?

- Um...

I think so.

Let's see.

I started with a, um, grande jete.

- No, no, angelina.

I think you started with an arabesque.

- Wasn't it a pirouette?

- Uh, I think it was a demi plie.

- It was a rond de jambe.

- I saw an eleve.

- Didn't you do a developpe?

- It was faster.

- You went higher.

- Oh-oh.

Oh-o-o-oh!

Oh-o-o-oh-oh!

Oh!

[Both giggle]

Wow!

That was the most mixed-up dance ever!

- Class, angelina's dance just now was improvised.

- Oh, that means I made it all up

As I went along, right?

- Right.

And improvising is a fun and very creative thing to do.

But improvising is just step one of your project.

- Just step one?

- I want you all to improvise something new.

Then memorize it,

And record it in some way.

- You mean write it down?

- Yes, a.z.

That way, others can follow and enjoy

Your wonderful dance moves or your songs

Or your poems.

[Bell ringing]

- This is fun!

- I can't wait to make up a song!

- I want to write a poem!

- My project is going to be a poem about...

Cheese.

Oh, cheese, sweet cheese.

How I love cheese.

[Sniffs]

Yellow cheese, white cheese,

And swiss cheese-- all, please.

But roquefort just gives me the world's biggest sneeze.

[Sneezes]

[Laughter]

- Bravo, vici.

Tres bon.

- ♪ Getting mousy, so, so mousy ♪

♪ Na na-na-na na na

- I love your song, a.z.

- Pirouette into a plie.

That's it!

- Hey, everyone,

What do you think about my improvisation?

♪

- Oh, it's wonderful, marco!

- Thanks, gracie.

What's your project going to be?

- Yes, tell us, gracie.

You always have the most creative ideas.

- Well, I don't have a poem or a song

Or a dance or a coconut.

But I am certain I will think of something.

[Bell ringing]

- We can't wait to see what you come up with, gracie.

- [Sighs]

Everyone is coming up with such wonderful creations,

Yet I cannot seem to think of a single thing.

Oh, what shall I do?

- I just love practicing my new dance.

- [Laughs]

Not so fast, angelina,

Or I won't be able to write down all your creative moves.

- Thanks for helping me, gracie.

- [Gasps]

Now, can I see how your "make it all up day" project

Is coming?

- Uh...

- Gracie, there's nothing in your notebook.

- That's because, well...

I am still improvising something wonderful...

In my mind, angelina.

- Is it a song or a poem or maybe a dance like mine?

- Uh, yes.

- Well, which?

- Angelina.

[Giggles]

- What's so funny, polly?

- [Laughs]

Wait till you see what daddy's doing.

- Red and green and blue

And green and blue and red

And blue and red...

[Laughter]

And blue and green and cha-cha-cha.

- Dad, what is all this?

- It's a new product we're going to sell

At my music store, angelina.

With maestro mouseling's dancing paws,

Anyone can learn to do any dance.

You just follow the pattern and step on the colors--

And red and blue and green--

And you'll be dancing the tango,

Cha-cha, waltz, or swan lake in no time flat.

- And if you can't dance,

You can have fun collecting all the colored paws.

And red and green and blue.

And red and blue and green.

[Laughter]

- Hmm.

This gives me a brilliant idea.

Mr. Mouseling,

Could I borrow maestro mouseling's dancing paws?

- I don't see why not, gracie.

- Uh-huh.

Oh, ha.

Oh!

Voila!

I can do a perfect mambo!

[Bell ringing] oh.

But now I'm late for "make it all up day."

Oh, and I haven't created a dance of my own...

Unless...

No one will know I didn't make up the mambo

All by myself.

[Rhythmic wooden spoon music]

♪

- Way to go, marco!

- That sounds great!

- Excellent!

- Here are the instructions for my coco-nutty drum solo.

- Excellent job, marco.

Let's see.

Gracie, you're up next.

- My "make it all up day" project

Will include musical paws.

- What are those?

- Look at all the cool colors!

- [Gasps] uh-oh.

The instructions are missing.

- Is everything all right, gracie?

- Uh, I don't have the correct order for my dance.

Together: huh?

- Gracie, what's the matter?

- I couldn't think of a project, so I decided

To do maestro mouseling's magical mambo.

- But, gracie, that's cheating.

You didn't make up that dance yourself.

- I know.

It was wrong.

And I'm really sorry.

Oh, but now I have no idea what the right steps are,

So I have nothing for "make it all up day."

- Gracie, you've got everything you need right here.

- You're right.

I do.

I can use these paw prints to make up my own moves.

[Laughs]

Uh, red could be a leap.

Blue could be a spin.

- Those moves will make a stupendous dance!

- And I think I know exactly what to do

For recording my project.

Come, angelina.

Help me put out the paw prints, angelina.

Um, ms. Mimi,

I am about to make up the most fun dance

Ever danced at camembert academy.

[Giggles]

- It looks like a rainbow of cardboard mouse paw prints.

- The red paw prints are for leaps.

The blue ones are for spins.

And the green ones-- well, wait and see.

Please mark my dance moves in my notebook, angelina.

Merci.

And red.

And green.

And blue!

And blue.

And red and blue.

- [Gasps]

- And red...

And blue!

And green!

- Yay! - Whoa-ho!

- Great job! - Yes!

- Bravo, gracie.

What an amazing improvisation.

- And look.

Here is every step of gracie's brand-new color dance.

- Now, any one of you can try the dance

By following the color pattern

And dancing from paw print to paw print.

- Can I try?

- Me first.

- I want to do gracie's color dance.

- For helping out a friend,

I think angelina should get the honor.

[Laughter]

- Hmm.

And I accept

With every color of the rainbow.

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

- My name is kevin.

- My name is wil b.

- My name is dj tk.

And the name of the group is black violin.

♪

- I play the acoustic viola,

And kevin plays the electric violin.

♪

- Well, we met in middle school.

Then 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.

[Hip-hop beats]

- We incorporate hip-hop and classical,

And we kind of mix it together.

- Brandenburgis 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.

- Break it down!

[Violin music and hip-hop beats]

- So basically, on the record,

I turn the record back and fourth

On certain parts of the song

To get different rhythms of the different instruments

Played on the song.

- Break it down!

[Violin music and hip-hop beats]

Break--break it-- break it down.

♪

Break-break!

Break it down!

♪

Break-break!

Break-break!

Break!

Break, break, break!

Break it down!

- What do I love about the violin?

I love that I'm able to play what I feel.

♪

- 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 on stage,

And we can make beautiful music that way.

♪

- I'm angelina ballerina.

I can't wait to get home,

Because I have really, truly exciting news.

Mum, polly,

I'm going to be the prima ballerina

In the school ballet!

- Angelina, that's wonderful!

- What's a peema ballerima?

- Prima ballerina.

It's the principal dancer,

The one who gets to dance the most.

I'll probably have a very big solo, maybe two.

And at the end, when I take my bow,

I'll get the loudest applause.

[Chimes ringing]

[Applause]

- Angelina! Angelina!

- Angelina! Angelina!

Are you going to be a princess?

- A fairy princess.

- [Gasps]

- Actually, a fairy who becomes a princess,

Because I'm the best dancer in the magic forest.

- Magic forest?

Fairy princess?

Can I be a peema ballerima too?

- Sorry, polly.

Only one dancer gets to be the prima ballerina.

But maybe when you're big like me,

You can be in the corps de ballet.

- Corps de...huh?

- [Laughs]

Corps de ballet.

That's what we call the dancers who dance together in a group.

- [Sighs]

So many new words.

- That's because there are so many

Different kinds of dancers.

♪ Ballerinas running to and fro ♪

- Wow!

Are your friends peema ballerimas too?

- I'm the only prima ballerina,

But gracie has a solo, and alice dances with a partner.

- How about vici?

- Vici's not going to dance

Because she wants to paint the scenery.

- Like painting pictures?

- Mm-hmm.

Really big pictures.

- Oh, that's what I want to do.

- All right, class,

How about I tell you a story?

It's called once upon a pillow.

All: oh, wonderful, ms. Mimi!

Yay!

- The ballet we're going to put on

Is the story of a fairy named fern,

Who is the best dancer in the entire magic forest.

- [Giggles]

- Fern's dancing captures the attention of the elf prince.

And he brings her many gifts.

- [Gasps]

[Laughter]

- Unfortunately, another fairy becomes jealous.

- Moi?

Jealous?

- She's mad because she wants attention too,

So she gives fern her own gift,

An enchanted pillow.

And as soon as fern rests her head on it,

She falls into a deep, endless sleep,

Never to dance again.

- [Gasps]

Did you say, "never dance again"?

Oh, no!

This is not good.

- Let's go to mrs. Thimble's for smoothies.

- Wow!

You'll have to tell me everything about it.

- [Gasps]

Ms. Mimi.

- What is it, angelina?

- I was thinking,

Maybe someone else should be the fairy princess.

- But you're perfect for the role.

Fern is the best dancer in the forest,

And you're one of the best dancers in my class.

- I know, but--

- Fern is lively and quick.

- Uh, I know, but--

- Fern is fearless and brave,

And you're not afraid of anything.

- That's not exactly true.

I'm afraid that if I'm the fairy princess,

I won't get to dance very much.

- You're the principal dancer.

- Who falls asleep, never to dance again.

I'd rather be a sprite like alice

Or a magic tree and dance in the corps de ballet.

Or how about a firefly?

- Firefly?

There aren't any fireflies in this ballet.

- I know!

That's why I can't be the fairy princess.

We need a firefly.

- Okay, angelina, I'll make you a promise.

If you still don't want to be the fairy princess

After this afternoon's rehearsal,

You can be a firefly.

- Yay!

- But you have to promise to stay

Till the very end of the rehearsal.

- I promise.

- I think you'll see how important your part is

And how fun it is to put all the parts together

To tell a wonderful story.

Okay, let's begin rehearsal.

First, we listen to the music.

Hear those violins?

- Oh, they sound like sparkly fairy dust.

- That's right!

The violins are setting the scene.

Once upon a time, there was a magic forest.

And in that forest lived...

- A fairy named fern?

- A magic tree.

We begin with two echappe sautes.

Then stop in fifth position.

Also in that forest lived...

- A fairy named fern?

- A forest sprite.

Alice, chassearound the magic tree

And finish in fourth position.

Then all the other magical creatures of the forest enter.

[All gasp]

Not you, angelina.

- [Gasps] oh.

- And dance happily about.

- What's everyone so happy about?

- They're happy because fern the fairy is here.

- Hey, that's me!

What happened to the music?

I didn't get to dance yet.

- That was just the introduction, angelina.

And now it's over.

- Oh.

- But don't go away, fairy fern.

Your friends want to give you gifts.

- [Gasps]

- Come along, flowers.

You too, magic tree and sprite.

Bourreein a circle around fern.

- Um, did someone say something about gifts?

- Elf prince, that's your cue.

- For me?

Oh, thank you!

Uh-oh, why is the music doing that?

- The bad fairy is coming.

- Is that what I think it is?

- The enchanted pillow.

As soon as you touch it, you'll fall asleep.

No, angelina, don't--

Don't run away.

Take the pillow.

- Do I have to?

- Now lay down your head and fall fast asleep.

- But I'm not in the least bit tired.

- Angelina...

- [Sighs]

- Angelina, what are you doing?

You're supposed to be asleep.

- I'm sleepwalking.

- Fairies do not sleepwalk.

You're under a sleeping spell.

- I know,

Never to dance again.

Maybe I can help vici backstage.

It's not fair, vici.

Everybody gets to dance a lot but me.

Alice gets to be a sprite.

All I get to do is sleep.

- Look on the bright side, angelina.

When you sleep, you get to dream.

- But I don't want to dream.

I want to dance,

Just like you wanted to paint.

- I know.

It's so much fun!

[Gasps] oops.

- Well, being fern the fairy isn't fun.

It's the worst role in the whole ballet.

- Maybe you could switch with someone?

- I tried, but ms. Mimi made me promise to wait

Until rehearsal was over.

Oh, I wish everyone would just hurry up.

Yay!

It's over!

- Angelina.

Angelina?

Can you come back out here, please?

Your forest friends have been looking everywhere for you.

They want to break your spell.

- Break my spell?

You mean fern is going to wake up?

- Yes, indeed.

But she has to fall asleep first.

- No problem.

Watch this.

- Nice job, fern.

Very convincing.

Okay, magical friends, do your thing.

♪

[Chimes ringing]

- Now what?

- Now you leap to your feet and dance.

- I dance?

- That's right!

You dance and dance and dance!

♪

Excellent, fern.

Okay, sprites and magic trees, take fern's hands and join in.

Hear the music?

It's getting louder.

That means the prince is coming.

♪

- I slept and slept and slept.

But now I get to dance and dance and dance!

Ms. Mimi was right.

My part wasimportant, and so was everyone else's.

All our parts came together to tell a stupendous story.

And that's the best part.

- 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.

My friends are performing the chinese lion dance.

Two performers are needed for each costume,

One for the head and one for the tail.

I wonder how the dancers know how to jump and roll

At the same time.

They told me the lion's heads are made of papier-mache,

And a boy lion wears a red bow

While a girl lion wears a green one.

But I think she should wear a pink bow like mine.
