I'm really glad you came.

You're here! Great.

Welcome. The place is yours.

Enjoy yourself.

And there are some

very important people...

I want you to meet.

Come on. I'll take you there.

Come on.

- What's this?

- Fromage de tete du porc.

- Who?

- Hog's head cheese.

Sick, man! Sick!

Are you an entertainer?

Ah, yes. I'm one of

those guys that...

He's one of those young men

that spins around on his head.

Would you like

some of this pig cheese?

No, thank you.

Excuse us, Sofie.

There's someone else

I want you to meet.

Could be our major

competition in the contest.

- Excuse us.

- See you later.

I'd like to see you dance

professionally sometime.

I'm sure.

- Steven, how are you?

- Fine.

Good to see you.

Kelly.

You two know each other?

We've met.

Yeah. She used to take my class.

Well, this is

a pleasant surprise.

Ozone, this is Franco. Ozone.

Now, wait.

- Did he take your class, too?

- No.

I don't teach amateurs.

Well, these amateurs

will be competing with you.

- On the same stage with me?

- That's right.

James, I thought

you were a smart man.

Now, don't jump to conclusions.

I've seen them dance.

Yeah, in the ghetto, maybe.

But in the real dance world...

against a disciplined

art form...

they're going to make

fools of themselves.

You callin' me a fool, man?

Look around you.

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

- Hey, come on.

- Get him off!

I told you he belonged

on the streets!

What is the matter with you?

Happy now?

Come on, man. Let's go.

What do you mean, go?

That lady and I were working

on a 3-picture deal.

Come on, man!

- Remember...

- Lunch!

- Excuse me!

- Ozone, wait. Stop.

Please don't go.

Franco... he's just sick.

Well, I think you have

everything you want...

right here, baby.

Let's go.

Ozone!

It's all her fault.

Told you she'd be trouble.

You had no right

to talk to him that way.

Just telling it like it is.

Face it, Kelly.

They're a different class

of people. They don't fit.

You know, Franco,

you're a really poor excuse...

for a human being.

You say they're

in a different class?

Well, you're right. They are.

They're in a class

all by themselves.

They're the best

at what they do...

and not you or anybody

is gonna take that away.

You know it's really sad?

With me, you had a chance.

But now I can see you ain't

gonna amount to nothin'.

And what makes you so special?

Well, unfortunately, Kelly...

you missed your chance

to find that out.

Thank god.

Yeah. Well...

I think you better leave.

I didn't have any intentions

of hanging around.

All right. We're gonna lock.

Now, when we lock,

roll our wrists... point. OK?

Go.

Now, we're gonna roll

our wrists, point, lock...

kick out, jump up...

Baby Legs, come on.

Do the wave. Let's see it.

All right!

Break, hot tot.

He's sharp.

Soda Pop.

Footwork.

Let's see you spin.

There it is.

Come on, Ram.

You guys are doing good...

real good.

She has a fast spin.

Pose.

Hi, Turbo.

You better be careful.

They might beat you someday.

I hope they do.

Is Ozone inside?

No.

Do you know where he is?

I haven't seen him

for a couple days.

Well... you better not

let him catch you.

Where could he be?

Venice, maybe. I don't know.

- Kelly.

- Yeah, Turbo?

Can't you see what's going on?

Hi.

- What do you want?

- I want to talk to you.

I don't think we have

anything to talk about.

- What's wrong?

- I don't want to talk about it.

If it's what happened at

James' party, Franco's a moron.

I know how you feel.

You don't know how I feel.

You don't know nothin' about me.

And your friends are

all phonies, man.

They're just like you...

up there in your tights,

being told what to do.

We don't care if we don't

step on our right foot.

We do what feels good.

And we don't do it

in the classrooms, either.

We do it on the streets.

So you're just gonna

throw the whole contest...

out the window, huh?

You're not even gonna

give yourself a chance?

We don't need it like you do.

They'll put us on the stage

and laugh at us...

because we don't

fit into your world...

because we don't have

the right credentials.

You know what your problem is?

Your problem is you.

You're a quitter!

You think you know it all,

Miss Perfect.

Well, you don't know

how I feel...

or why I do what I do.

Would you just stop

holding back?

I mean, you're always

putting up fronts.

"Nothing bothers Ozone.

"Everybody always

looks up to Ozone.

He knows everything. "

God forbid he has

no doubts or fears.

What are you afraid of?

Well, maybe I don't know

everything...

like your boyfriend James.

Would you get off it?

James is not my boyfriend.

He's my agent, and he's

just trying to help us.

James is just a friend.

I mean, he really

believes in us.

That's why he got us

the studio to rehearse in.

Come on. I want

to show you something.

I want you to see what

real dancing's all about.

Look at him.

You see his face?

That's dancing, Kelly.

Well, this is it.

What do you think?

It's wonderful.

Thanks.

God, it's so nice to be

in a real studio again.

I'm really glad you like it.

You know I'd do

anything for you.

For us, you mean.

Well, yes, of course.

For everybody.

Am I missing something?

Yes. Music. Let's get to work.

You guys can't let me down now.

I'm going to call all

my friends in the business...

and get you in that audition.

And you better be good.

Believe me, Kelly, I've called

every S.O.B. In the business...

and it's always the same answer.

"Forget it, James. "

This audition is for the biggest

dance production in years...

and there's no way

they'll even consider you guys.

It just seems that Franco has

a lot more pull than I thought.

But we can't give up now. We

can't let Franco off that easy.

I don't know what else I can do.

Ozone and Turbo will go nuts

if they find out.

We can't tell them about this.

Kelly, we have to be

reasonable about this.

I don't want to be reasonable.

I've been reasonable

all my life...

and it's gotten me nowhere.

I am finally happy

and I have some real friends.

I'm not going to let them down.

Those phony, narrow-minded

stuffed shirts...

won't consider it dance

because it's not traditional.

What do they want?

I'll tell you what

they don't want.

They don't want kids

in T-shirts that are torn...

and bandanas

and spiked bracelets.

Unless...

What?

No. Ozone will never go for it.

He's got too much pride.

Kelly, it's the only way

it will work.

Yes, this is my group...

the Allegro Vivace Dance Trio.

Good luck.

Gracie. Avanti.

All right. This is it.

We're on after the next group.

You guys ready?

As ready as we're

ever going to be.

Well done.

What the hell

are you doing here?

You surprised to see the fools?

We're here.

- We seem to have a problem here.

- I'll take care of it.

I'm the manager of this group.

What seems to be the problem?

I'm very much afraid they won't

be able to dance for us.

And why not?
