- I am angelina ballerina.
More than anything else
In the world, I love to dance.
But I also love to make things.
It's friday, and my friends
And I are working on our hats
For the mouseland
Silly hat carnival.
- How do you like my hat,
Angelina?
- Love it, gracie!
- It just needs
A few more things.
Like sparkly fairy dust.
[Giggles]
- Mine just needs
Some more dots.
How many do you think?
- A gajillion!
[Softly]
Oh!
Uh-oh,
You both have to leave soon,
And our hats are not done.
- Maybe we can stay
For another hour.
- Or maybe
For many, many more hours!
- You mean...
Both: a sleepover?
- Uh-huh.
- That would be so amazing!
- Then we can work on our hats
Until bedtime.
[Both giggle]
Please can vici and gracie
Sleep over?
Please? Please?
- Oh, angelina, a sleepover
Is not such a good idea.
- Why not?
- Well, for one thing,
They shouldn't even
Be called sleepovers
Because nobody ever sleeps.
- But we'll sleep.
I promise.
- Also, your dad is out of town
And not here to watch you girls.
- We won't need to be watched.
I promise.
- And you have an important
Rehearsal tomorrow morning
For the big performance
At school.
- That's when I get to do
A very tricky double pirouette.

Angelina?

You can glue.

The glue goes on the hat,
Not on the table.

And all you have to do is jump.
Jump, jump.

At age two.

♪
The dance that we're doing
Is a mixture
Of latin movement and hip-hop.
- Latin dance is flowy,
And hip-hop is sharper.
- It look us about a month
To learn the piece.
And then it took
Much, much longer than that
To make sure it was perfect
To perform.
- What I love about dancing:
I'm with my friends
All the time,
And it requires practice
Every single day,
And it's really fun.

I love to dance.
- Dance is something
That everyone can do.
If you want to dance,
Then dance.

More pancakes.

With a bit of hip-hop,
Which is new.
They do a latin cha-cha:
One, two, cha-cha-cha.
And now hip-hop:
Jump, jump.
The cha-cha
Is smooth and flowing,
While hip-hop's rather fast
And sharp.

Make something
Simply stupendous!
Hello, I'm angelina ballerina.
Today we're going to see
Some ballroom dancing.
That's where people
Dance together as partners.
This is called swing dancing.
It started back in the s
With a kind of jazz music
Called swing.
It takes a lot of practice
To work well with your partner
So you know what to do next.
See how they move in time
To the music?
Every step matches the tempo
And each other.
They're simply stupendous!

- Wowie! For real?
- Sure. It's all yours.
Well, I should be getting
To rehearsals
Like I promised ms. Mimi.
- That's my little girl.
- Your big girl.
Big girls keep promises.
Now it's the night
Before the performance,
And I have big plans.
- Lookee, angelina went to bed
Really, really early.
- She will be
One well-rested little dancer.

Two steps.
The first step is a latin step
Called a cha-cha.
One, two, cha-cha-cha.
Three, four, cha-cha-cha.
The next one is a hip-hop step,
And all you have to do is jump.
Jump, jump.
Together, it goes:
One, two, cha-cha-cha.
Three, four, jump, jump.
One, two, cha-cha-cha.
Three, four, jump, jump.

At age two.
- I was four years old
When I started dancing.
- I started dancing
When I was five years old.
♪
The dance that we're doing
Is a mixture
Of latin movement and hip-hop.
- Latin dance is flowy,
And hip-hop is sharper.
- It look us about a month
To learn the piece.
And then it took
Much, much longer than that
To make sure it was perfect
To perform.
- What I love about dancing:
I'm with my friends
All the time,
And it requires practice
Every single day,
And it's really fun.
- Me encanta bailar.
I love to dance.
- Dance is something
That everyone can do.
If you want to dance,
Then dance.

More pancakes.

- Hello,
I'm angelina ballerina.
My friends are going
To take something old,
Add it to something new,
And make something fantastic!
They're mixing a little latin--
That's the old--
With a bit of hip-hop,
Which is new.
They do a latin cha-cha:
One, two, cha-cha-cha.
And now hip-hop:
Jump, jump.
The cha-cha
Is smooth and flowing,
While hip-hop's rather fast
And sharp.
I love that the different steps
Make something
Simply stupendous!
Hello, I'm angelina ballerina.
Today we're going to see
Some ballroom dancing.
That's where people
Dance together as partners.
This is called swing dancing.
It started back in the s
With a kind of jazz music
Called swing.
It takes a lot of practice
To work well with your partner
So you know what to do next.
See how they move in time
To the music?
Every step matches the tempo
And each other.
They're simply stupendous!
