- I'm angelina ballerina.
Sometimes I like to dance
By myself,
And other times,
I like to dance in a group.
But if you do that,
Everyone really needs
To get along.
- Today, class, we are going
To have some fun.
- Fun?
Yippee.
I love fun.
- I want you to split
Into groups of four.
- Groups of four?
Great!
- And each group will go off
And work together.
- Work together?
That's so cool.
- Vici, please.
I know you're excited,
But let me finish.
- Sorry, ms. Mimi.
- And at the end of today,
Each group will perform
Their new routine
For the rest of the class.
Any questions?
- Who's going to be
In my group, ms. Mimi?
- Okay, I want you, angelina,
To work with gracie, a.z., And--
- Me. Me.
Ms. Mimi,
Me, me!
- And vici.
- Yay!
This is gonna be
So amazing.
- Come on, group,
Let's go and get started.
So what do we all want to do?
- Well, I think we should work
On a tap routine,
Something like this.
- Oh, no.
Break-dancing
Would be much better.
Check this out.
- [Gasps]
- I had my own idea of what
I wanted our routine to be like.
- We don't want to do
Break-dancing,
Do we, vici?
Tap-dancing is much better,
N'est-ce pas?
- Uh, well, i--
- Vici loves break-dancing.
Don't you, vici?
- Uh, yes, I do, but--
- Not as much as she loves
Tap-dancing.
That is right,
Isn't it, vici?
- I-i do like tap-dancing.
- Break-dancing
Is much more cool.
- I-i like 'em both.
Angelina?
Help.
- Okay.
Let's do
A beautiful ballet instead.
- Break-dancing.
- Tap-dancing.
- Break-dancing.
- Tap-dancing.
- What about
A hip-hop tap type routine?
- No.
Tap would spoil
The break-dancing.
- It is so unfair.
Why can't a.z.
Do what I want to do?
- Gracie.
No. Don't go.
- Gracie.
Why can't you do
What I want to do?
- A.z., Wait.
Come back.
- Now what do we do?
[Both sigh]
- Don't worry, vici.
I'll talk to them
And figure this out.
- But what will you say?
- Um...
I'll tell them both
How much we need them.
- Awesome idea.
- And without all the group
Working together,
We won't have a dance
For ms. Mimi.
Gracie.
- Before you say anything,
Angelina,
I am not dancing
With that moonwalking mouseling
Ever again.
- But we're supposed
To be a group.
- Well, we'll have to be a group
Without you know who.
- [Sighs]
Oh, dear.
I hope I have more luck
With a.z.
- No. No. No. No. No.
- A.z., Please.
- Sorry, angelina.
But I can't be in the same group
As gracie.
She always wants to do
Everything her way.
- Oh.
- Angelina.
Come sit here.
I saved you a seat.
- Hey, angelina.
Come and sit with me.
- Uh...
- This is a much better table.
- Uh...
- Not as nice as this one.
- Uh, I think I'll just sit
Over here, thanks.
- Psst, angelina.
Want some of my
Sunflower seed sandwich?
- I'm sure she'd like one of my
Delicious nut nibbles better.
- Oh, no, she wouldn't.
- I think I know
What my best friend likes.
- Your best friend?
Everyone knows angelina
Likes me the best.
Don't you, angelina?
- Ugh!
- Oh, vici.
Come sit here.
I saved you a seat.
- Yo, vici.
Come and sit with me.
- Oh, i, um--
Oh!
- Angelina?
- Oh, hello, ms. Mimi.
- Why are you sitting here
Having lunch all by yourself?
- It's peaceful...
And quiet.
- And?
- And...
And there's no silly arguing.
- It can be very upsetting,
Can't it?
- How can we get together
And dance
When a.z. And gracie can't even
Get together and talk?
- Hmm.
Don't worry, angelina.
I'm sure you'll come up
With a wonderful idea
To make the peace.
- Oh, ms. Mimi,
You've forgotten your...
Folk dancing
From around the world.
And that's when I got
The most absolutely, positively
Stupendous idea.
[Playing conga b*at]
- Hi, angelina.
- Marco.
I've been reading
One of ms. Mimi's books,
And I was just wondering,
Do they have any folk dances
In costa mousa?
- Oh, yes.
We have at least
Different folk dances.
- [Laughs]
?
I think just one
Will do for now.
- We always used
To gather round,
And uncle pedro
Would teach us the steps.
- That sounds wonderful.
- It is.
Folk dancing
Brings everyone together.
- And that's exactly
Why I need your help, marco.
- You want me to teach you
The mousa mambo
Cheesy cha cha polka?
- Um...
That looks a little tricky.
Do you know anything
We could learn quickly?
- My friend tom taught me
A simple american square dance.
We could try that.
- Perfect.
Then what are we waiting for?
- And now it's time
For everyone to show the class
The marvelous dances
You've all been rehearsing.
- Hmph.
- Hmph.
- Sorry I'm late, ms. Mimi.
- Ah, angelina.
Perfect timing.
I'd like to see
Your group dance first.
- Angelina.
What are we gonna do?
We haven't rehearsed anything.
- Just join in, vici.
We don't need to rehearse.
- Huh?
- First, we thought
About doing a tap dance.
- Oui!
- But we're not doing that.
- Aww.
- Then we talked
About doing some break-dancing.
- Oh, yeah.
- But we're not
Doing that either.
- Oh.
- But, angelina, if we're not
Doing either of those,
What are we doing?
- My group would like
To present for you
A traditional
American folk dance.
- What?
- What?
- What?
- It's called
The square cheese promenade.
- But, angelina,
We do not know the steps.
- No problem.
Marco will call out the moves
For you.
- All right, everybody.
Find yourselves a partner.
- I am not dancing with a.z.
I choose vici.
- Fine.
Then I choose angelina.
[Lively instrumental music]
- Take your partners
By the hand.
Listen closely to the band.
Circle left.
Make a ring.
Listen to the caller sing.
Face your partner,
Toe to toe.
Back to back,
That's do-si-do.
Clap your hands now,
One, two, three.
Touch your shoulder.
Touch your knee.
Couple one,
Now make an arch.
Couple two,
Through you march.
Now swap over,
Couple two.
Make an arch,
And let them through.
Promenade and circle right.
Make a square
And make it tight.
Left hand star,
Round you go.
Now change your partners,
Do-si-do.
- A.z.?
- Gracie?
- Square the cheese,
That's how it's done.
Now everybody's having fun.
Take your partners
By the hand.
Listen closely to the band.
Circle left.
Make a ring.
Listen to the caller sing.
[Laughter]
[Bell rings]
- That was so cool.
Almost as good
As break-dancing.
- Next time we do
The folk dancing,
I hope you are my partner, a.z.
- You forgot your book,
Ms. Mimi,
Or did you leave it there
On purpose for me to see?
- I really don't remember.
You put on a wonderful
Performance today, angelina,
And got your friends
Back dancing together.
Good job.
- Hmm.
Do-si-do,
And no more fuss.
Best pals again,
All thanks to us.
[Laughter]
Now it's time to meet
Camembert's shining stars.
- Hi.
[Speaking japanese]
My name is kenichi.
I'm from japan.
I started dancing
When I was years old.
This is the story
Of a mannequin in a store
That comes to life.
I taught myself dancing
By watching videos and tv.
What is cool about dancing
Is that I can communicate
With people without talking.
If you're interested,
You can learn
By watching other dancers
And then develop
Your own style.
[Mechanical sounds]
Beep! Beep! Beep!
[Upbeat hip-hop music]
♪
One thing I love about dancing
Is to give energy
To the audience.
Then I get energy back
From them.
Hip-hop is popular
All around the world.
[Speaking japanese]
Means "I love dancing"
In japanese.
I just love dancing.
- I'm angelina ballerina,
And our teacher
Asked each of us
To give a report
On our favorite hero.
- Anna mousikova is my hero,
Not only because she's
The most amazing gymnast ever.
She's also
A super nice person.
Here she is doing
A perfect handstand split.
And this is the judge salute
She does after every routine.
And here she is winning
A shiny gold medal.
- Soon all alice
Was talking about
Was mousikova,
Mousikova, mousikova.
Plus, she was practicing
Gymnastics all the time.
And she was ending
Every routine
With mousikova's special wink.
Alice would only eat
Mousikova's favorite foods
And left-handed,
Just like mousikova.
- This is borscht,
Mousikova's favorite beet soup.
Want some?
- Uh, maybe the next time.
- Uh-oh.
It's so hard eating with
My left hand like mousikova,
Because I'm right-handed.
Oops.
[Laughter]
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
- Is that a mousikova thing,
Snapping your fingers?
- Yes.
It probably makes
Your fingers stronger.
Now, for dessert.
According to mousikova,
A raw potato a day
Keeps you feeling okay.
Hmm, this would
Taste better cooked.
[Humming]
- Soon alice was constantly
Singing russian folk music.
[Humming continues]
- It's the birch tree,
A russian folk song
From mousecow.
Mousikova loves
To do gymnastics to it.
- That sure is a pretty song,
Alice.
[Both humming]
Oh.
We'd better get going,
Or we'll be late
For dance class.
- I'll be a teeny bit late.
I've got to finish my potato
So I can be as healthy
As mousikova.
- There goes that wink again.
- Keep going, dancers.
Wonderful work.
- We get to dance
To the birch tree?
- You're late, alice.
- Sorry, ms. Mimi.
I had to fit in
A little gymnastics.
Mousikova says,
"You're only as good
As your last cartwheel."
- Or your last grand jete.
If you want to perform
At the assembly,
You have to be on time
For practice.
- Okay, ms. Mimi.
I won't be late again.
[Both gasping]
- Oh.
[Together] wow.
- I love your new moves, alice.
- It's the best fun ever.
Soon I'll be
As good as mousikova.
- Really? Truly?
Maybe someday,
You'll be famous like her
And win gold medals.
- And travel all over the world
And have fans.
- Will you have time
To dance with us
And come over to my house?
- Absolutely.

Alice!
- Hmm?

Just you and me,
Like the old days.

I can't hear you.

'Ello?

For the math bee.

Adding and subtracting.
- Oh, I haven't practiced
Much math.
I've been too busy doing
My balance beam routine.
Watch this.

To watch it later.

Anna mousikova's
Favorite number.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
That swiss and tomato sandwich
Looks scrumptious.
- It is.
- I haven't eaten
A cheddar chip scone in days.
- Want a bite?
- No, thanks.
I've got my borscht.
- Haven't you had enough
Mousikova food?
- I miss my favorites,
But mousikova foods
Are so good for me.
- You're already
Really, truly healthy.
- Maybe you're right,
Angelina.
Time to squeeze in
A couple handstands
Before the lunch bell.
- Allons-y.
Let's go to mrs. Thimble's
For smoothies
And then your house
For the dance practice.
- Stupendous.
- You are coming with us, no?
- Um, I think I need
To practice my grand jete
If I'm going to dance
At the assembly.
But I would love a smoothie.
I haven't had one in ages.
- You simply must try
The blueberry.
Ooh, la-la.
- What do I do now?
- Yesterday mrs. Thimble added
Peanut butter to her smoothies.
- I wish I'd been there.
I miss doing stuff with you.
- We miss you too.
- How will I ever have time
To do my mousikova practice
And be with you too, angelina?
- Hmm.
Just come and practice with us
For the assembly.
Remember, we're performing
In front of the whole school.
- I don't think I'll be dancing
At the school assembly.
I haven't practiced enough.
- But you have to dance with us.
We'll be dancing
To mousikova's favorite song.
- And I love grand jetes.
- Talk to ms. Mimi.
Give it a try.
- All right.
Maybe I need a few less winks.
My eye is getting tired.
- Divine, my dancers.
Please take a break now
And have some water.
- Ms. Mimi, can I talk to you
About the school assembly?
- Of course, alice.
Do you want to perform
With the class?
- Yes, please, ms. Mimi.
I'll practice super hard.
- And I can help her.
- Wonderful.
But you must practice
All you can.
- I promise.
[Laughter]
Mmm.
Nothing like a cheese
And tomato sandwich.
- I am glad you are dancing
With us, alice.
Did you decide you like ballet
More than mousikova?
- I still love mousikova
And gymnastics,
But I also love ballet
And being with my friends.
Oh.
It's hard doing things
Left-handed when I'm not,
Because I'm right-handed.
- So now we can do
Fun things together,
Like we always do, huh?
- Absolutely.
It's been okay
Doing mousikova stuff,
But I have to do
Alice stuff too,
Like getting the answers right
On math bees.
- Will you still do
Your amazing gymnastics tricks?
- Of course.
- And will you still sing us
That stupendous
Russian folk music?
[Both humming]
- Angelina.
Now mousikova is your hero?
- No.
But if a raw potato a day
Makes you strong like her,
I'll give it a try.
[Laughter]
On second thought,
I'm already pretty strong.
Snap!
- [Laughs]
Snap!
[Laughter]
- Plus is .
- Plus is .
- And plus is .
- As mousikova says,
"It's always best
To be yourself."
- Hola.â–
Marco here.
And this is kenichi ebina
From japan.
He's a great hip-hop dancer.
In this dance, kenichi
Tells a story about a mannequin
That comes to life.
That move is called popping.
And here's an arm wave,
Like an ocean wave
Moving through him.
And that's locking.
See how fast his arms move?
You can learn hip-hop
By watching other dancers
And even music videos,
And then you can make
Your very own dance style.
- Hello.
I'm angelina ballerina.
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.
