- I'm angelina ballerina.
Today my friends and I
Can't stop doing the newest dance craze.
I just love the cheddar cheese slide.
And one, two, three.
- Everyone loves it.
And one, two, three.
Did you know it's the most popular line dance
In the history of mouseland?
- No kidding?
Now, clap, clap, clap.
Spin.
And touch the floor.
All whoo!
- I could do this all day.
- But could you do it in front of an audience?
All huh?
Hi, ms. Mimi.
- Hi, everyone.
I've just been asked to host
The mouseland classic tomorrow night.
- Wow, that's the biggest talent show in mouseland.
- The best thing since sliced cheese.
- There's an open slot in the show.
Maybe you mouselings would like to do that dance.
- The cheddar cheese slide?
Wow, we'd love to!
- Great.
I'll add you to the program now.
- We're performing in the mouseland classic.
Hooray!
- And the best part is,
We'll be doing the cheddar cheese slide.
- We'd better slide our way inside.
It's time for class.
- Ready, and slide.
Slide.
Slide.
Slide.
- You know, I think we could use another dancer
For the cheddar cheese slide.
- You're right.
The more mouselings moving to the b*at,
The better the line dance.
- It would be stupendous if there were four of us.
- Bonjour, mes amis.
Angelina, I see you know the fromage slide.
- The what?
- The fromage slide.
It's a tres, tres popular line dance in france.
- Actually, gracie,
Angelina was doing the cheddar cheese slide.
- Oh, how funny.
"Fromage" means "cheese" in french.
- Really?
Is it the same dance?
- Are there lots of turns in the fromage dance?
- Oui.
- And what about hops?
- Beaucoup.
- Sounds like the same dance to me.
- Gracie, would you like to do the cheddar cheese slide with us
For the mouseland classic talent show?
- Do you mean the fromage slide?
- Uh, sure, I guess.
- Then, mais oui.
But of course.
- Stupendous.
Let's rehearse today during lunch.
Mouseland classic, here we come.
Time to practice the cheddar cheese slide.
- Also known as the fromage slide.
- From the top.
Listen for the b*at.
And one, two, three.
- Un, deux, trois.
- And one, two, three.
- Un, deux, trois.
- Looks like this is a little different.
- Don't you mean a lot different?
- Now, it's clap, clap, spin, and touch down.
What was that, gracie?
- The fromage slide.
What were you doing?
- The cheddar cheese slide.
- Ooh, la, la.
It seems they are not the same dances at all.
- No, they're not.
Do you think you could learn the cheddar cheese slide
In time for the talent show?
- Or maybe it is you who should learn the fromage slide.
- But we already told ms. Mimi
We'd be doing the cheddar cheese slide.
- Angelina, that's not the cheddar cheese slide.
- I know. There's too much fromage.
- Coo, coo, coo!
- Things are not looking good for the cheddar cheese slide.
I've got to get gracie on board.
Gracie, you are so good at the fromage slide.
- Oui, I am excellent.
- But I bet you would be even better
Doing the cheddar cheese slide for the talent show.
- Okay.
Then I will try.
- Great.
So let's take it from the top.
- Okay, but first,
I must teach you the fromage slide.
And un, deux, trois.
- Hm?
- Follow me.
Do what I do.
Un, deux, trois.
Oh, c'est bon!
Un, deux, trois.
Oh, you got it.
Don't you just love the fromage slide?
Coo, coo, coo!
- Oh, dear.
- Is that what I think it is?
- Is gracie practicing the wrong dance again?
- Coo, coo, coo!
Magnifique!
Let's all do the fromage slide.
- Uh-oh.
- I think you mean "mon dieu."
- Bonjour, angelina.
Let's sit together today.
- Great idea.
We can practice before ms. Mimi gets here.
- Oui, oui.
Let's do it.
- Okay, we walk three steps right
To those chairs over there.
One, two, three.
Actually, I changed my mind.
Let's sit in those seats over there.
Now, three hops to the left.
One, two, three.
- Oh, angelina, I see what you are doing.
- Trying to find our seats.
- While doing the dance your way instead of my way.
- But I like my way.
- And I think my way is tres fantastique.
- I know you do.
And I'm sure we can figure this out.
It's just that...
The mouseland classic is tomorrow.
And I don't know if gracie and I will ever agree
On the best way to do the dance.
- I could do the dance, angelina.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
- [Sighs]
[Gasps]
- [Chuckles]
- Excellent, polly.
Now try it a little quieter.
- One, two, three.
- [Sighs]
Good night, polly.
- One, two, three.
One, two, three.
I can do it just like angelina
Or like a bunny rabbit.
Hop, hop, hop.
Clap, clap, clap.
- What's going on up there?
- [Gasps]
Whoopsie.
- Polly, are you ready for bed?
- I'll be right there, mum.
I'm ready for the cheddar cheese slide.
[Giggles]
- I'm sure gracie will do it our way.
I'm sure she will.
- Look at me, angelina.
One, two, three.
- Polly, I see you're very good at the cheddar cheese slide.
- Thanks.
- But I can't put you in instead of gracie.
It would hurt her feelings.
- Oh, okay.
Good night then.
- Okay, gracie, you have until tomorrow
To learn our dance
And say bye-bye to the fromage slide.
A.z., Marco, and gracie must've started rehearsal.
I hope it's going...
- Trois.
- Well.
- Un, deux, trois.
Un, deux, trois.
That is how the dance goes.
- No, in our version, it's one, two, three.
One, two, three.
- Where I come from, it's un, deux, trois.
- So what?
Where my parents come from,
They say "uno, dos, tres."
- If we're gonna say it in spanish,
Why not say it in german?
- Eins, zwei, drei.
- Or japanese or polish.
- Un, deux, trois. - One, two, three.
- Un, deux, trois. - One, two, three.
- Stop it, everyone!
Just stop it!
The mouseland classic is tonight.
And if we keep fighting
And just yelling in different languages, then...
Then it could be stupendous.
- What? - Huh?
- What?
- I just got an idea of how we can do the dance
In a way we'll all like.
- That sounds great.
- Oui, it does.
- Then listen up, everyone.
[Cheers and applause]
- For the next act in the mouseland classic,
There's been a slight change in program.
[All talking at once]
Instead of the cheddar cheese slide,
This group will be performing an even newer dance,
The around the world slide.
[Applause]
[Upbeat pop music]
Both un, deux, trois!
Both uno, dos, tres.
All one, two, three.
Un, deux, trois.
Uno, dos, tres.
One, two, three.
It's the around the world slide.
[Cheers and applause]
- Whoo-hoo!
- Looks like we've just invented the next new dance craze,
Thanks to you, gracie.
- This dance is even better than the fromage slide.
- Absolutely.
- Un, deux, trois. - One, two, three.
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 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 a feel.

- So basically, on the record,
I turn the record back and forth
On certain parts of 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 on stage,
And we can make beautiful music that way.
- My name's angelina ballerina.
Sometimes things are easy to see,
And sometimes they're difficult,
Even when they're right under your nose.
- You're going to really like the piece of sheet music
I found for you and angelina to dance to.
It's got lots of big crashes and bangs in it
And trumpeting elephants.
- Trumpeting elephants?
- [Chuckles] not really.
I just wanted to see if you were listening.
- Oh, sorry, marco.
It's just that the top flight mouseling detective agency
Is so good.
I just can't stop reading it.
- I noticed.
- The mouse detectives use all these clues
To solve crimes.
They're about to find out
Who stole the missing toothbrush.
- Well, angelina's going to start worrying
About the two missing mouselings
If we don't hurry up.
- Oh, sorry.
[Doorbell rings]
- Hi, marco. Hi, vici.
- Oh, no.
They thought it was colonel furforth,
But he was over at mrs. Jarlsberg's,
So they still don't know who stole the toothbrush.
- Uh, what toothbrush?
- Aw, she's been like this all morning.
- It's the story in the book.
It's all about being a mouse detective.
I wish I could be a detective.
- Vici, marco.
- Hello, polly!
- Hello, mrs. Mouseling.
- You all rehearsing upstairs today?
- Yes, mum.
- Oh, mrs. Mouseling,
My mom told me to give you this.
- Ah, her recipe for cheesy fudge brownies.
Do me a favor, please,
And put it over there by the oranges.
My paws are soapy.
- Mom, pretty please with cheese,
Can I have some paper?
- In a minute, polly.
- You see, your mom has soapy paws,
Which is a clue that she's washing up.
- Okay.
- And by the look of the kitchen table,
I would say that polly is painting.
- Ah, I see.
Can I make up a clue?
- Yeah, go on.
- The way we're all walking out of the kitchen
Is a clue that we are about to do some rehearsing.
- That's so amazing.
- The music is in two parts.
There will be a smooth part for you, vici.
[Soothing violin music]
And a bouncy part for you, angelina.
[Percussive violin music]
- That makes me feel really bouncy.
- When I pluck the strings like this,
It's called pizzicato.
- Stupendous.
Bounce.
Bounce, bounce.
I love bouncy dancing.
♪
What will you do, vici?
Vici?
- [Stammering]
If I've got smooth music,
I'll do smooth, slidey, searching steps to go with it,
As if I'm searching.
[Both sigh]
For clues?
- Exactly.
I've got to keep it smooth, smooth.
What does my music sound like, marco?
[Both sigh]
- Wow, that looks difficult.
There's a lot of notes for just one violin.
- It's not too hard.
It's just like reading.
But instead of words and letters,
These are musical notes.
- I get it.
- The sheet music tells me which notes to play
And how long to play them for.
It sounds like this.
Listen.
[Smooth violin music]
- Brilliant, vici.
That goes perfectly with the smooth music.
- Here comes your part, angelina.
♪
- Uh, marco, I'm ready to bounce.
Can you play the music?
- No.
It's gone.
- Can you play the tune without the music?
- I haven't played it enough times
To remember it without the sheet music
In front of me.
- So what are we going to do?
- Don't worry.
I'll find it.
Both how?
- I will use all my detective skills to...
Solve the case of the missing music.
[Both gulp]
- First, we need to know exactly what it looks like.
- Well, it was a piece of paper with lines and dots on...
- That tell marco which notes to play...
Both and how long to play them for.
- Hmm. Anything else?
- And it had the words "angelina and vici's dance"
Written on the top.
- Perfect.
- So now we know what we're looking for.
The first thing to do is retrace marco's steps.
- So what are we doing here?
- We need to follow the journey marco made this morning
And see if we can find the music.
- There seem to be a lot of things you have to do
If you're a detective.
- Tell me about it.

- So where did you go next?
- Mm...
I went to mrs. Thimble's to buy a pencil sharpener.
- Aha!
Follow me.
Pretend we're looking at things.
- Look, there's ms. Mimi.
- I'm going to visit in wensleydale.
I found this piece.
What do you think?
[All gasp]
- Hello, vici.
- I think you'll find that piece belongs to marco.
Case closed.
- Huh?
This piece of frilly lace belongs to marco?
- [Giggles]
I don't think it does, vici.
- I know it doesn't.
- Oh, sorry.
I was looking for a piece of sheet music.
I don't suppose you've seen one?
- Sorry, vici.
No.
- I can't believe what just happened.
- Neither can i.
- Don't worry, vici.
I'm sure even the top flight mouseling detective agency
Goes down the wrong path sometimes.
- You're right, angelina.
A good detective never gives up,
And neither will i.
So, marco, what did you do next?
- Well, um...
I went to angelina's.
- Aha!
- Aha?
- Aha!
Then the secret of the missing music
Must be in the house.
No, don't touch anything.
A good detective never disturbs the scene of a crime.
- Sorry, vici.
- Hmm.
[Gasps]
- What is it, vici?
- Marco, where did you put your music down when you came in?
- Um, on the kitchen table.
- It's just a paw print, vici.
Why is that so important?
- Because when marco put his paper down on the table,
Polly was asking your mom for paper.
- To paint on.
That's brilliant, vici.
- So what does polly do with her paintings when they're finished?"], Index ,…}
- Um...
Mum usually puts them on the fridge.
- I think you'll find, marco, that this is your missing music.
Case closed.
- Uh, I don't think so, vici.
- Oh, no.
- Mum must've given polly some paper,
And she used that.
- It's no good.
I'll never be a great detective.
- And I'll have nothing to play if we can't find that music.
That piece was perfect.
- Vici, you can't give up.
This must happen to real detectives all the time.
What do they do when every clue doesn't lead anywhere?
- Um, they take another look.
- Take another look where?
- Polly's painting, of course.
Uh...
I can't even tell what this is.
- Well, let's go and ask polly.
What's this painting of, polly?
- Uh...
Mum putting something away.
- Where?
- In the blue book.
- Why did you paint that?
- It's what I saw, silly.
- What could the blue book be?
- Mum's recipe book.
That's blue.
- I gave your mom a recipe when I came in.
- Oh, no, you didn't.
Could this be your missing music, marco?
- It is. Yay!
I must've given it to angelina's mom instead of the recipe.
- So vici's case was finally closed.
And now that marco had his sheet music back,
He knew exactly which notes to play.
[Smooth violin music]
- I can do my smooth dance again.
- And I can do my bouncy dance.
- Smooth.
[Percussive violin music]
- [Giggling]
Bounce, bounce, bounce!
♪
- 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 these 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.
