- I'm angelina ballerina.
And today I met someone with superpowers.
- "The volcano started rumbling."
- Oh, no!
- "It was going to erupt."
- Oh, no!
- "Suddenly, heroic music filled the air.
"Super sally flew up to the volcano.
"Whoosh!
"Then she used her super strength
"To throw a boulder into it.
Plop!" - [Gasps]
- "Super sally saved the day."
Both: hurray!
- Again. - Again?
But I've read it five times already.
- Six times, please?
- All right.
"Sally thought she was
"A perfectly normal little mouseling.
But then"...
- Hi, mum. Hi, polly.
- Her sister came in.
- Look what we learned in class today.
- Hey, hey.
[Cheers and applause]
- It's called a sissonne.
- Isn't it so fun?
- Yeah.
- [Claps]
It sure is.
Now, if you'll excuse us,
Polly and I were reading a book together.
For the sixth time.
- [Giggles]
- Wow,
That must be a really good book.
- It's the best book ever.
Super sally.
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love it!
- What's it about, polly?
- Super sally has superpowers.
She can fly.
Whoosh!
And she's super strong.
Grr!
And her favorite color is pink,
And her favorite food is cheese.
[Sighs]
Just like me.
I'm just like super sally.
Ooh, maybe I have superpowers too.
Maybe I'm...
I'm super polly.
- [Grunting]
[Gasps]
Help!
- [Gasps] - help!
- Super polly to the rescue.
- [Grunts]
[Screaming]
All: yay! Super polly!

Just for that, you get to stay up late tonight
And play with your dolls.
- Yay!
- Earth to polly.
- Uh-oh.
Whoa!
- Earth to polly.
- You mean super polly.
- I think she was daydreaming like you do, angelina.
- It runs in the family.
- How did super sally become super?
I don't remember.
- Super sally first got her powers
When she heard a trumpet fanfare.
- Then all I need is a trumpet fanfare.
What's a trumpet fanfare?
[All giggle]
- A fanfare is a short, exciting piece of music
Played when something important happens.
- Like when super sally becomes super.
- And fanfares are often played on trumpets.
You've seen trumpets at your father's music store.
- Oh, can I go there?
Maybe if dad plays a faffer and a foofer--
- A fanfare.
- That's it.
Maybe if dad plays a fanfare,
I'll get superpowers.
Whoosh!
- Well...
- Pretty please, with cheese?
If I'm a superhero,
I can save lots of people.
- [Giggles]
Well, all right.
- Wha-hey! Wha-hoo!
- [Sighs]
- This is a trumpet, polly.
You make it play music
By buzzing air into it with your mouth.
Then you push these buttons, called "valves,"
To make music.
Watch. [Inhales deeply]

Blend until light and creamy."

- But hansel and gretel didn't live in a gingerbread house.
- I know that, polly,
But the witch locked them up in her gingerbread house.
But they tricked her in the end and ran away.

A birthday dance would match a birthday cake.
- Where was i?
Did I add the eggs?
- And a football cake would go with a football dance,
Wouldn't it, angelina?
And a thanksgiving cake
Would go with a thanksgiving dance.

My gingerbread cake's ruined, alice.
Can I practice with you?
Maybe I'll get an idea for a new cake and dance.
- Of course you can, angelina.
What cake will you make now?

I'll make a jelly roll cake to go with my forward rolls.
Whoa! - Watch out, angelina!

Oh!
I squashed your lunch.

I shouldn't have left my lunchbox there.

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.

Hello, I'm angelina ballerina.
Today we're going to see some ballroom dancing.
Now, this is called merengue.

And I love wearing makeup.
- I'm angelina ballerina,
And today vici's going to tell us about her great idea.
I wonder what it is.
- It's going to be so amazing.
I just can't wait.
- Can't wait for what, vici?
- Dance like a cake day, of course.
- Huh?
- Dance like a fake day?
What's that?
- Cake, a.z.
I want you all to make a cake and--
Cookies, muffins, biscuits,
Anything will do.
- I love cakes!
- Me too.
- Mum bakes great cakes.
- Hold up, mouselings.
Cooking's only part of what I want you to do.
And here's the amazing part.
You have to perform a dance that goes with your cake.
- Huh?
- You mean we dance like a cake?
- Exactly, alice.
- That's cool.
I'll make a pineapple upside-down cake.
[All laugh]
- How are you going to do a pineapple upside-down dance?
- Hip-hop.
Watch.

I'll dance upside down like this.
[Laughter and applause]
- I already know what I'm gonna do.
- What?
- Here. Guess.
- Dance like a wiggly worm?
- The twist.
I'll make a lemon twist cake to go with my dance.
- Can I do a gymnastic dance, vici?
- Of course, alice.
But it might be tricky finding a cake to go with it.
- I'll make pancakes.
I'll flip them in the air
Just like little bouncy gymnasts.
- That's a stupendous idea, alice.
- What about you, angelina?
- I'm going to do something
From the hansel and gretel ballet,
And I'll make a gingerbread house
To go with my dance.
- Awesome idea, angelina.
I can't wait for dance like a cake day.
- One, two, three.
One, two, three.
- Ahh.
[Rapid percussive clicking]
- [Laughs]
- One, two, three, and--
[Rapid percussive clicking] marco!
What are you doing?
- I'm learning to play the castanets.
[Percussive clicking]
Did you know that spanish dancers
Hold castanets in their hands
And click them as they dance?
- You're cheating, marco.
You're not holding them in your hands.
- My hands aren't quite big enough yet.
This helps.
It's a castanet machine.
- It doesn't look like any machine I've ever seen.
- Uh, it's not really a machine.
It's really just castanets attached to this block of wood.
See?
They can click really fast
And play cool rhythms.
- And a-one, two, three.
- Ee-yay!
Yay!
- And a-one, two, three.
- Yes!
- And plie.
There.
Now I just need to make my gingerbread house,
And I'm ready for dance like a cake day.
"Add eggs to the sugar and the flour.
Blend until light and creamy."
- What kind of cake are you making, angelina?
- I'm making a gingerbread house that goes with my dance.
- But hansel and gretel didn't live in a gingerbread house.
- I know that, polly,
But the witch locked them up in her gingerbread house.
But they tricked her in the end and ran away.
- I get it.
A birthday dance would match a birthday cake.
- Where was i?
Did I add the eggs?
- And a football cake would go with a football dance,
Wouldn't it, angelina?
And a thanksgiving cake
Would go with a thanksgiving dance.
- Mum!
My gingerbread cake is ready to go into the oven.
- Okay, angelina, it won't be long.
- I can't wait.
[Sighs]
- Angelina, your cake is ready.
- [Giggles]
- Watch out, girls. It's hot.
- [Gasps]
Oh, no!
I'll never be able to make
A gingerbread house out of that.
[Sighs]
- I'm sorry, angelina.
- What am I going to do now?
- Why don't you go and see how your friends are doing
While I try and figure out what went wrong with your cake?
- Okay, mum.
[Hip-hop music]
[A.z. Beatboxing]
Oh, yeah!
- A.z.,
Can I be in your upside-down dance?
- You bet.
- Thanks, a.z.
[Hip-hop music]
Whoa.
Oh.
Whoa. - Not sideways, angelina.
Move forwards.
- I can only go sideways.
Oh-oof!
Whoever heard of a silly sideways dance?
My gingerbread cake's ruined, alice.
Can I practice with you?
Maybe I'll get an idea for a new cake and dance.
- Of course you can, angelina.
What cake will you make now?
- [Gasps]
I'll make a jelly roll cake to go with my forward rolls.
Whoa! - Watch out, angelina!
- Oof!
Oh!
I squashed your lunch.
- Oops.
I shouldn't have left my lunchbox there.
- I'm so sorry, alice.
[Sighs]
I keep messing up everything I do.
There's no way I'm ever going to be able
To dance like a cake.
[Sighs]
I just don't know what to do.
- Where do oranges come from?
What does that say?
- They're spanish oranges, polly.
They come from spain.
Hmm?
What's that noise?

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.

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.
