Hi. I'm June.
And I'm practicing my favorite thing
in the whole world...
dancing!
["Blue Danube" plays]
Do you like to dance?
Wonderful!
["Blue Danube" plays]
[gears creaking]
-Yay!
-Go, June!
Bravo! Bravo!
[xylophone plays notes]
Hey, June.
I see someone else who likes your dancing.
[giggling]
[squeaking]
Who do you think it is?
[xylophone plays notes]
Yes! It's Rocket.
Rocket loves your dancing, June.
Yeah. He's your biggest fan.
Rocket, I never knew you liked dancing.
[xylophone plays notes]
Do you know how to dance?
[xylophone plays notes]
Oh. Rocket never learned how to dance.
Well, maybe someday I could teach you how.
Would you like that, Rocket?
[xylophone plays notes]
[giggles]
Rocket would love to learn how to dance.
["Blue Danube" begins]
Hey! I hear music.
I wonder where it's coming from.
It's coming from that palace.
[Leo] That's the Schoenbrunn Palace
in Vienna, Austria.
Look! They're getting ready
for a party inside the palace!
A dancing party!
Whoa! It's a glass slipper.
[June]
This must be the glass slipper ball!
Ooh, the glass slipper ball.
The glass slipper will only fit
on the foot of a great dancer.
[xylophone plays notes]
June! Rocket thinks you should try on
the glass slipper.
Me?
[xylophone plays notes]
Yeah, June. You're a great dancer.
I just know it would fit on your foot.
Do you think the glass slipper
would fit on my foot?
Well, then, I will try it on.
-[xylophone plays notes]
-Yay, June!
All right!
[tower bell tolls]
Uh-oh.
The clock at the palace says it's 11:00.
[Leo] But the glass slipper ball
starts at 12:00!
That's so soon!
And we can't be late.
[xylophone plays notes]
Rocket can get you there, June.
He can do anything!
And we'll help you, too.
Right, team?
-Right!
-Absolutely!
Will you help me get to the ball
so I can try on the glass slipper?
Great!
[xylophone plays notes]
[jingles]
We've got a mission.
We're going to help June
try on the glass slipper.
Let the mission...
begin!
Buckle your seatbelts.
[all]
Seatbelts buckled!
Prepare for blast-off!
We need to give Rocket a lot of power.
Put your hands on your lap
and pat with us.
Pat, pat, pat, pat.
[jet engines revving]
Faster! Pat, pat, pat, pat.
Now raise your arms as high as you can
and say, "blast-off!"
[all]
Blast-off!
[Annie]
Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!
[waltz music playing]
Hurry, Rocket.
We've got to get to the ball,
so June can try on the glass slipper.
We can't be late.

Thank you, Annie.
I like that song.
Hey, Leo. We'd better be careful.
There are some big,
snowy mountains up ahead.
[waltz music playing]
Those are the Austrian Alps.
Wow!
Cool!
[Leo]
Rocket! Put out your skis!
[xylophone plays notes]
Uh-oh.
How is Rocket going to get
down the mountain
with all these flags in the way?
I have a plan.
Rocket. Remember how I said
that I'd teach you how to dance?
[xylophone plays notes]
Well, now's your chance!
I'm going to teach you how to dance
down this mountain.
[xylophone plays notes]
Quincy, can you play music for us
on your French horn?
You've got it.
[plays "Blue Danube"]
Perfect!
Now let's show Rocket
how to dance side-to-side
down the mountain.
-["Blue Danube" begins]
-Like this.
Side-to-side, side-to-side.
Come on. Sway to the music with me.
Move your body from side to side,
side-to-side, side-to-side,
side-to-side.
["Blue Danube" continues]
Look! Rocket is starting to sway with us.
Keep swaying!
Side-to-side, side-to-side.
[Quincy]
Way to go, Rocket!
[Annie]
You're learning how to dance!
[xylophone plays notes]
[rumbling]
[Quincy]
Uh-oh.
That snowball is headed
straight for Rocket!
And it's getting bigger!
What are we going to do?
Rocket, you're going to have to dance
faster down the mountain.
[xylophone plays notes]
And I'll play my French horn faster.
[plays "Blue Danube" faster]
Help Rocket sway faster to the music.
Sway with me.
Side-to-side, side-to-side.
Side-to-side, side-to-side.
[Leo]
Rocket is dancing faster!
But the snowball keeps getting closer!
Sway even faster!
["Blue Danube" continues]
[Annie]
Whoo-hoo!
We got away!
[all]
Yay!
Thank you for helping Rocket dance
down the mountain.
You did wonderfully.
[tower bell tolls]
Uh-oh.
That sounds like the clock
at the glass slipper ball.
-[clock ticking]
-And it's getting closer to 12:00!
Rocket, we have to hurry
so I can try on the glass slipper.
I can't be late.
[xylophone plays notes]

Go, Rocket, go!

Uh-oh. Rocket doesn't know
which way to go next.
But how will we get
to the glass slipper ball?
[flute plays notes]
Look! That fish from the Danube River
is talking to Rocket.
[xylophone plays notes]
[June] That little fish knows how to get
to the glass slipper ball.
[Quincy]
He's going to show Rocket the way.
[waltz music plays]
[June]
That fish is a good little swimmer.
[Leo]
Too good.
He's getting too far away
for us to follow.
[xylophone plays notes]
Don't worry, Rocket.
I can help you catch up with that fish.
How, June?
By dancing through the water.
Rocket, do you want me
to teach you a new dance?
[xylophone plays notes]
Great!
Let's show Rocket how to swim down-up-up
through the water!
Pat your hands down on your lap,
and then lift your hands up, up...
-[waltz music begins]
-Like this!
Down-up-up, down-up-up,
down-up-up, dance it with me!
Keep dancing!
[June] Look! Rocket is starting
to swim like a fish, too.
Down-up-up, down-up-up.
[Leo]
All right!
Now Rocket can follow the fish
to the ball.
[Annie]
Look, look, look!
More fish want to swim with Rocket.
Let's help Rocket swim
with even more fish.
Pat! Down-up-up,
down-up-up, down-up-up,
down-up-up.
[Leo]
Now all the fish want to swim with Rocket.
[Annie]
It's a fish parade!
We have to pat down really low,
and reach up-up extra high. Ready?
Pat! Down-up-up, down-up-up,
down-up-up.
Yahoo!
[flute plays notes]
[Leo]
That was great!
We followed the little fish
through the Danube River.
[xylophone plays notes]
[Annie]
Look, look, look!
Rocket is thanking the little fish.
[flute plays notes]
Rocket, you were wonderful
dancing through the water.
[xylophone plays notes]
And you were great, too, June.
Yeah. It was cool
how you made up that dance.
The glass slipper just
has to fit on your foot.
I hope so.
[gasp]
Look!
It's the glass slipper ball.
We're almost there.
[Annie]
But the clock is almost at 12:00!
And I can't be late.
We're going to have to fly Rocket
as fast as he can go.
Superfast!
Will you help me fly Rocket superfast?
Great! Superfast!
[all]
Superfast!
["Blue Danube" begins]
To get to superfast,
we have to start at adagio.
Pat the beat on your lap slowly.
[music speeds up]
Moderato.
Now pat the beat on your tummy
a little faster.
[music speeds up]
Allegro.
Now pat the beat on your shoulders
even faster!
[music speeds up]
Presto!
Now reach your arms to the sky
and shake your whole body!
We did it!
We're flying superfast!
[June]
And look, there it is!
The Schoenbrunn Palace.
Come on!
Oh, no. The door closed.
We can't get inside.
But I have to get inside
so I can try on the glass slipper.
What do I do?
Look, June.
The sign says that you can't go inside
unless you're wearing a ball gown.
But I don't have a dress like that.
[xylophone plays notes]
[Annie]
What's Rocket doing?
[Quincy]
He's sewing something.
[Leo]
June! Rocket is making you a dress!
A dress that I can wear to the party?
Rocket, you're wonderful!
[tower bell tolls]
But he doesn't have much time.
The ball is about to start.
I know.
I can make up a dance to help Rocket
sew the dress faster.
Come on.
Help me teach Rocket the dance.
You have to twist and turn your body
to the music.
-[waltz begins playing]
-Like this.
Twist and turn, twist and turn.
Twist and turn, twist and turn.
Look! Now Rocket is doing the dance, too.
He's making the dress faster.
Keep dancing!
Twist and turn, twist and turn,
twist and turn, twist and turn.
Come on. It's almost 12:00!
Let's twist and turn even faster!
Ready?
Twist, twist,
twist, twist, twist.
It's finished!
-Whoo-hoo!
-Rocket, you did it!
Oh, thank you, Rocket.
It's magnificent.
-[gasps]
-Whoa!
How beautiful!
Now I can go into the ball
and try on the glass slipper.
-[tower bell chiming]
-[Leo] Hurry, June!
Ok. This is it.
Go ahead, June.
-Try it on.
-[xylophone plays notes]
I really, really hope it fits.
Does the glass slipper fit on my foot?
[all]
It fits!
-Hooray!
-Yay, June!
[xylophone plays notes]
All right!
[gasps]
You guys, look!
There's another prize at the ball.
A golden crown!
Ooh, neat.
It's for another great dancer.
But it's gigantic.
I wonder who's big enough
to wear such a humongous crown?
It fits on...
[all]
Rocket!
I cannot believe it.
Yay, Rocket!
See, Rocket?
You did it.
You're a dancer now.
[xylophone plays notes]
Come on, team.
Let's help June and Rocket dance!
["Blue Danube" begins]
[xylophone plays notes]
Why, yes, Rocket.
I would love to dance with you.
Will you dance with Rocket and me?
Wonderful!
