- I'm angelina ballerina.

I love to dance

For an audience,

Especially when everyone claps

And cheers

And makes a fuss over me.

And I always like to make

A fuss over my friends

When they do

Something special too.

- Don't forget.

This saturday, the chipping

Cheddar mouse marathon

Comes to town.

- Wow. Will we be able

To watch it, ms. Mimi?

- Of course we will, vici.

The race starts

Outside the fire station,

Goes all around the streets

And country roads,

And finishes

At mrs. Thimble's store.

But I have some even more

Wonderful news to tell you all.

I'm very proud to announce

That one of the students

In my class

Has decided to run

In this year's marathon.

- Who is it, ms. Mimi?

Please tell us.

- Well, it's marco.

- What?

- Marco?

- We didn't know

You were a champion runner.

- Uh, uh, I'm not.

I've just been jogging a bit

To keep fit.

- Well, you must be super fit

To run in a marathon.

- Not really.

I train every evening,

Running around the school yard.

It's no big deal.

- No big deal?

Marco, that's stupendous!

[Bell rings]

Stop.

Wait. Make way

For the magnificent marco.

Famous marathon mouseling

Coming through.

Stand back. Stand back.

And five, six, seven, eight.

- What about me?

When can I join in?

- Not yet, marco.

[Lilting piano music]

♪

- How about this?

Wha-hey!

- Marco, what do you think

You're doing?

- I think I'm doing

A pirouette.

- Well, you can stop that

Immediately.

- What? Why?

- A champion runner

Needs to save his energy

For the big race on saturday.

- Yes, but it's only tuesday.

- Well, you could twist your

Ankle doing a move like that.

Then how would you

Be able to run?

- [Sighing] oh.

I just wanted to dance.

- Sorry, marco.

I'm going to have

To keep my eye on you

If you're going to stand

A chance

Of winning that marathon.

- Ha-ha.

Got you this time, a.z.

- Oh.

- Marco,

What are you playing now?

- I'm playing checkers.

- No time for all that.

You should be busy training.

You can play checkers after

You cross that finish line.

- Ohh.

No dancing, no games,

No fun.

Oh.

[Crickets chirping]

- Uh, dad, are you using

Your camera on saturday?

- No, I don't think so.

- Great.

So could you be there

At the marathon

To take a photo of marco

When he comes in first?

- Ah.

- Oh, come on, please?

You are the best photographer

In all of chipping cheddar.

- Oh. Um, okay.

- [Giggles]

- I guess I could do that.

- Stupendous!

- Look, everyone.

I can run like marco.

- Could you make some flags

For everyone to wave

Along the route?

Please?

Thanks, mum.

Excuse me, everyone.

I need to go upstairs and work

On my cheerleader routine.

- What's a cheerleader routine?

- [Chanting] running hard,

He'll go far.

Marco, marco, rah, rah, rah!

- What you doing, angelina?

- I'm a cheerleader.

I'm making up

Some cheerleader chants

For my cheerleader team.

- Can I be a cheerleader,

Angelina?

- It's not easy, polly.

We have to put on

A really good show

To support marco when he runs

In the marathon.

- I can do it.

I can do it.

- All right, polly.

Just copy what I do.

- Okeydokey.

- [Chanting]

M-a-r, "c" and "o."

Marco, marco,

Watch him go.

Yay!

- [Grunts]

That's hard.

- Being a cheerleader

Is hard, polly.

There's dancing

And gymnastics,

Not to mention the chanting.

- What is chanting?

- Well, a chant

Is kind of like a poem

And kind of like a song.

It rhymes.

But instead of singing

The words like this...

♪ He's amazing,

He's a star ♪

You say them to a rhythm

Like this:

[Chanting] he's amazing.

He's a star.

He's our hero.

Rah, rah, rah.

Put the chanting

With the dancing,

And you've got yourself

A cheer.

[Chanting] north and south,

East and west,

We love marco.

He's the best.

- [Chanting]

Backwards, forwards,

Up and down,

Marco mouse,

The best in town.

- [Clapping]

That's great, polly.

Welcome to the team.

- [Giggles]

- Saturday soon came along,

The day of the big race.

And I'd done everything I could

To make it a special day

For marco.

[Cheering]

- What?

[Drum and kazoo music]

♪

All: [chanting] running hard,

He'll go far.

Marco, marco,

Rah, rah, rah!

- Angelina.

What's happening?

- I organized everything,

The balloons, the banners.

Everyone's come

To cheer you on.

[Thumping drum and kazoo music]

♪

That's the marco

Marathon march.

I made it up myself.

- But--but I never wanted

All this.

- Everybody's come

To see you win the race.

- Win the race?

I don't think I even want

To be in the race.

- What?

But marco.

- All this fuss,

I hate it.

I've changed my mind.

I'm not running

In the marathon.

- Oh.

- Okay, where is he?

Where is that champion runner

Of yours?

- Uh, sorry, dad.

Can't stop.

I have to go find marco.

Oh...

- Angelina.

- Oh.

- Why so upset?

- It's marco.

He doesn't want to run

In the marathon,

After all the trouble I went

To organizing the balloons

And the banners

And the marching band.

- I see what's troubling you,

Angelina.

You can't understand

Why marco doesn't appreciate

All the fuss

You've made over him.

- Exactly.

You don't think

I made too much fuss,

Do you, ms. Mimi?

- Well, what do you think?

- [Sighs]

I think maybe I shouldn't have

Stopped him dancing

And playing checkers.

And maybe I did go

Kind of over the top

With all the cheerleaders

And chanting and stuff.

- You did nothing wrong,

Angelina.

Supporting your friends

Is a good thing.

But not everyone likes

That much fuss.

- The chipping cheddar

Mouse marathon

Will be commencing

In five minutes.

All runners

To the starting line, please.

- I have to find marco.

I know deep down, he really

Wants to run in the race.

But where can he be?

- Is there any special place

He likes to go?

- Uh, he said he likes running

In the school yard.

- The school yard.

Hmm, maybe it's time for you

To do a little running yourself,

Angelina.

- Yes.

Thank you, ms. Mimi.

[Panting]

Marco,

I'm so glad I found you.

The race is about to start.

Please come back.

- I can't.

I don't want to run anymore.

- [Gasps] but why?

- I'm scared I might not do well

In front of all my friends.

You told everyone

How good I was.

And now

They're all expecting me to win.

I wasn't scared before.

But when I saw all the flags

And banners and cheerleaders...

- Oh.

I'm sorry.

I guess I did

Kind of go over the top.

It doesn't matter if you win.

We're just all proud

That you're in the race.

- Really?

- Absolutely, positively.

- All runners

To the starting line, please.

- Well,

What are we waiting for?

Come on.

I've got a marathon to run.

- Yes.

- Hooray!

- Yay!

[Giggling]

[Crowd cheering]

[Cheering]

- Where's marco?

- There he is.

Spectators: yay!

[Cheering]

- He's coming.

He's coming.

[Cheering]

- [Gasps]

- He's stopping.

- Angelina, I think it's time

For you and your cheerleaders

To do your thing.

- Okay, everyone.

[Chanting] running hard,

He'll go far.

Marco, marco,

Rah, rah, rah!

[Cheering]

[Chanting] m-a-r, "c" and "o."

Marco, marco,

Watch him go.

Yay!

- Great job, marco.

And we're all very proud

Of you.

- I didn't win,

But I finished the race.

I couldn't have done it

Without angelina's help.

All that cheering

Kept me going to the end.

- Hmm, you know, next year,

I think I'm going to run

In the chipping cheddar

Mouse marathon.

- Great.

Then I'll get together

With a.z.,

And we can be

Your cheerleading team.

- [Laughs]

- Yay.

- [Giggles]

Now it's time to meet

Camembert's shining stars.

- My name is lindsay,

And when I was three,

I started taking ballet.

- My name is avery,

And I study

At the american ballet

Theatre school.

- When I was little,

My grandma gave me

A package of three books and a

Little angelina ballerina doll.

And I really liked the books.

- My sister's a dancer,

So I went on an audition,

And I just really liked it.

- When you tie

Your pointe shoes,

You have to cross the ribbons

And make sure you tie

A tight knot

On the inside of your foot.

Our teacher just choreographed

A piece.

We don't really know

What the name is.

But--yeah, but it's fun.

[Stately orchestral music]

♪

We have pointe shoes made

Of plaster and glue.

And at first it hurts

A little bit,

But your feet get

A lot stronger.

And it's--you have,

Like, padding,

Like, a toe pad underneath

Your pointe shoes.

It feels good.

♪

- When I do an entrechat six,

It's a challenge.

But I work hard

At strengthening my legs,

And it makes it easier.

♪

- This the first time

I've danced with a partner,

So it's challenging,

But it's a great experience.

♪

- She's a really good partner.

- It's really fun to learn

And get to know

The different ways of balancing

On your pointe shoe.

And it just feels amazing.

- I really like dancing.

I hope to inspire other people

To dance.

- I'm angelina ballerina,

And I'm trying to get ready

For school,

But I can't find my ballet bag.

Huh?

Hmm?

Ha.

[Sighing] oh.

- Have you found it,

Angelina?

- No.

And I've looked everywhere.

[Sighs] huh?

- [Grunting]

- Polly, who said you could take

My ballet bag?

- Sorry.

I was pretending

I go to ballet school

Just like you.

- Oh, polly,

You can study ballet for real

When you're older.

- When? Tomorrow?

- Not for a few more years,

Sweetheart.

- That's too long.

I want to study ballet now.

- I have a stupendous idea.

I can teach you ballet, polly.

- You can?

- Of course I can.

We can use the attic

For your lessons.

- Yippee!

- That is a stupendous idea,

Angelina.

- And maybe I could wear

Your tiara.

Pretty please with cheese?

- Maybe sometime.

- [Giggles]

- We'll start our ballet classes

As soon as I get home

From school.

- Yeah!

- I even have a name

For my new school:

The angelina mouseling

Royal academy of ballet.

- That is a big name

For such a small school.

- Someday it could be as big

As camembert academy,

Maybe bigger.

Line up, students.

First position.

You all have perfect turnout.

I taught you well.

I'll be a great ballet teacher,

Like ms. Mimi and miss lilly.

- You think so?

- I know so.

Angelina can do anything.

- Thanks, alice.

I'll prove it.

We'll have a recital

At the end of this week.

Then you can see

What my star pupil has learned.

- [Giggles]

I'll be there.

Au revoir.

- Are you sure

Polly will be ready

To put on a recital

In just a week, angelina?

- With me teaching her,

She'll be more than ready.

- You might need some help.

- Okay.

You can be my assistant.

- Hmm.

[Gasps]

Yay!

I'm ready, teacher angelina.

- Me too.

And alice is going

To be my assistant.

- Ooh, goody, two teachers.

I'm gonna learn really fast.

- That's the plan.

The angelina mouseling

Royal academy of ballet

Is now officially open.

There are five positions

In ballet.

This is first position.

- Your feet look funny,

Like a frog.

- Ribbet.

- [Giggles]

- It's called turnout.

- [Gasps]

Like this?

- Just start like this

For now.

- This is second position.

- Wider second, polly.

- Third.

Fourth.

- Turnout, remember?

- [Gasps]

This is too hard.

- But turning out

Makes you look graceful

To the tips of your toes.

- How about turning in?

Like a pigeon,

Get it?

- That's not funny, polly.

Get back to the barre

And do first position again.

- But I'm tired.

- We just started.

- [Giggling]

- Polly, where are you going?

- Don't worry, angelina.

We'll try again tomorrow.

- Echappe changement.

Ready?

Second.

Fifth.

Second.

Wider second, gracie.

Pretend your feet

Are flying away from each other.

Land lightly, a.z.

Imagine the floor

Is a trampoline.

Better.

Great work, everybody.

- Ah, ca va?

How is the royal academy

Of angelina?

- Polly's learning really fast,

Thanks to angelina's

Excellent teaching.

- And alice's.

- I guess I shall see

For myself at your recital.

You're still having one, no?

- Of course we are.

Okay, dancers,

First position.

- Again?

- That's how we always start.

- [Sighs]

- And if you do

A good job,

You're going to star

In your very own ballet recital.

- Really, truly?

- Yes, but you have to practice

The five positions to get ready.

- Okay.

- First.

Second.

Third.

Fourth.

Fifth.

Hmm.

Now watch us, polly.

- I'm a jumping bean.

Yay, I'm a jumping bean.

- Stop being a silly billy,

Polly.

- [Gasps]

Mummy, angelina's being mean.

- Polly, come back.

I'm sorry.

[Sighs] this is not good.

What will gracie say

When polly can't do ballet?

- Uh, "I told you so"?

- Oh, alice.

What are we going to do?

If polly doesn't do

The show,

Gracie will laugh at me.

I must be

A horrible ballet teacher.

- Hey, maybe you could talk

To ms. Mimi.

She might have

Some good advice.

- Good spotting, gracie.

Oh, a double pirouette, a.z.

Very impressive.

[Claps]

- [Giggles] a biento,

Angelina.

See you soon

At your recital.

- [Gasps]

Um, ms. Mimi,

Can I talk to you?

- Of course, angelina.

How's your ballet school

Coming along?

- You know about that?

- I hear it's going to be as big

As camembert academy someday.

- [Sighs]

I doubt it.

Polly is--

Was my only student.

She just won't pay attention,

No matter how much I force her.

- Hmm.

Maybe instead of trying

To force her,

You could try to make it fun.

- [Gasps] oh, yes.

That's how you do it,

Ms. Mimi.

- Land lightly, a.z.

Imagine the floor

Is a trampoline.

Better.

It also helps

To let your students know

When they've done a good job.

- I guess I've been

Too hard on polly.

Polly, I'm sorry.

I guess I was kind of mean

Yesterday.

- Yep.

- Definitely.

- So, polly, could you maybe

Give me another chance?

I promise it will be more fun

This time.

- Well, I do still want

To be a ballerina.

[Quiet applause]

[Bouncy piano music]

♪

- [Gasps] ooh-la-la,

Angelina.

You did a good job

Teaching your sister.

- Yippee!

- [Gasps]

- Yeah.

Whoa-ho.

[Laughter]

- Looks like polly's

Learned a lot,

And she's having fun.

- That's what it's all about.

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.

- Hola. 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.

[Giggles]

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.
