♪ Yeah we'll make it right

♪ On City Island

[lighthearted music]

- Let's start with stretches!

- [Rita And Leslie] One, two, three, four,

one, two, three, four.

- Stretching is fun.

- Yeah, I feel so light on my feet!

- Excellent warmup, class.

Ms. Rita and I are thrilled

to begin your very first ballet lesson.

- Ms. Leslie is correct.

We're positively jubilant!

- [Leslie] The first exercise that we'll be working

on today is the high kick.

- Allow us to demonstrate.

Your turn.

Do your very best to imitate our form.

- [Leslie] Lovely, Lidia.

- [Rita] A bit higher, Mark.

- [Leslie] Wonderful wobble, Sugar.

- Goodness, Watt, your form is marvelous.

- Thanks, my favorite video game is "Ballet Blaster ".

- What seems to be the matter, Lacey?

- I have wheels, so I can't do kicks.

Are there any ballet moves I can do?

Something more wheel-based?

- Let's ask our ballet manual.

Manny!

Could we get your advice, please?

- Of course, I know every dance routine

we use in this class.

How can I help?

- We've never taught a student

with wheels before and we're at a loss.

Do you know any ballet moves that feature wheels?

- Hmm, no, nope, not that one.

I'm sorry, but I don't see wheel moves in my ballet guide.

It's just not in the rules.

- Did somebody say rules?

- [Group] Ollie Scooter!

[rock guitar chord]

- Oh my.

- Yes, he is very cool.

- I was just scooting by and overheard

a wheel-related emergency.

What's going down?

- I'd really like to try ballet,

but they can't find any moves for dancers with wheels.

I'm kind of bummed, ballet looks fun.

- I got you, Skater Girl!

I have wheels and dance is one

of my many radical passions.

Let's boogie!

[upbeat music]

- [Group] Yeah!

- Thanks, Ollie.

That was so cool.

- No probs.

You had those groovin' moves in you all along.

- Lacey's moves would be perfect for the ballet recital.

- Yes! We've never seen anything like them.

They're positively tubular.

[rock guitar chord]

- But those moves aren't in the ballet rules.

What do we do?

- Everyone deserves to experience

the beauty of ballet, Manny.

- If the rules aren't fair for everyone,

then we must change them for the better.

- You're absolutely right.

I'll add those moves right away.

[orchestra tuning]

[light music]

[audience applauds]

- Your moves are amazing, Lacey.

That was incredible!

- Thanks, Watt.

You were great too.

- I think this might be, like, my thing now.

- Same here.

- Bravo! Great show, kids!

- I'm digging the new look, Manny.

- Why, thank you.

I added a whole chapter.

Roller-ballet is here to stay!

- Now those are some cool rules.
