(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
All up in the cipher but
Oh, you know what it's
about, raising the bar up
You're square and givin' 'em
something they can't fake
What you been waiting for?
Moments like this will
bring out the best in you
For the one with
the greatest risk
You just might miss
Take it on the chin,
you just might get dissed
Follow in the paths
the great ones done laid
Along this the heavyweights
performing on center stage
Diligent,
you got to have skill in it
You always got to be
killing it
Don't be afraid
to break it down
When it's time
to rebuild again
Now you're the hottest in
there, no use in concealin' it
Hard work is paying off,
big baby
You got it made
Everybody's seeing you
shining on center stage
You ask me what's the purpose
This ain't no everyday
average three-ring circus
I said
What you got
Show me what you got
Go, ladies
Go, go, go, ladies
One, two, three
One, two, three
Ladies, ladies, ladies
Everybody in the cipher got
'Cause the truth, you grab
the feet and just work it
Just work it
Just work it
Just work it Like that
Just work it
Just work it
Just work it
Just work it
One, two, three
ALL:
Five, six,seven, eight, nine...
10, 11, 12, 13!
(CROWD CHEERING)
I love you, guys.
(GIVE IT ALL I'VE GOT PLAYING)
Not gonna do it right
till I'm doin' it all
My chance, way out
from where I come from
Step forward, my feet
in motion
You're doing so good, Bella.
Bring your hands up
through first, and open.
How am I gonna learn
if you're not here?
Just do what I did.
KATE:
You can learnfrom the videos.
You learned from Mom.
It's all I want, all I want
It's easy to believe
Give it all I've
KATE:
Dad, I'm leaving.She's going to the
American Ballet Academy.
KATE:
I'm gonnamiss you so much.
Me, too. I love you.
I love you, too.
Give it all I can
I'm gonna take a chance
'Cause it's easy to believe
It's easy to believe
It's all I want, all I want
It's easy to believe
Excuse me, which floor
is the audition on?
Give it all I've got
Following pointe auditions,
we'll continue with adagio,
then we'll pair you
for the pas de deux.
I'm gonna need
you into two lines.
Boys in one, girls in the other,
starting with the
tallest to the shortest
and remember who
you're paired with.
JONATHAN:
At best, I cantake six girls and six boys.
be posted this afternoon.
We have very limited space for a
very limited number of students.
As you know, this is the
finest academy in the country.
We value talent,
discipline, respect...
COOPER:
And a love of dance.Also a good thing.
And on a very good day,
JONATHAN:
Please welcome one of ouresteemed judges and instructors.
You have 15 minutes to warm up.
A love of dance.
Hey, we're creating artists,
not robots.
And besides, I'm here to bring some
life back in this place. Remember?
You're here because your
company ran out of funding
and you needed the job.
Hey, it's a give
and take situation.
So, nothing's changed, huh?
I give and you take
and take and take.
First position. Demi-plie.
JONATHAN:
Tendu front.Demi-plie. Tendu back.
Demi-plie. Tendu. Stay on your
standing leg, don't hang on the bar.
Miss... Von Stroh.
Richard's daughter?
Yes, sir.
Nice port de bras.
Watch your alignment.
Miss?
Parker. Kate Parker.
Billy's daughter.
JONATHAN:
Now the other side.(WHISPERING) Classy.
(PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)
Kate Parker? How you doing?
Good.
All right, you're gonna be
dancing here with Mr. Webb.
Nice to meet you. You, too.
Okay, sorry. Let's stop.
One more time from the top.
Ready?
And five, six, seven, eight...
MALE STUDENT:
That is perfection.
Look at those legs.
One of the best dancers, I hear.
TOMMY:
Really?What else you know about her?
Her?
Look at him.
Hey, nice form.
"Nice form"?
(WHISPERING)
What is she thinking?
She's already a whale.
We have one last
spot to fill for a girl.
Here are the top contenders.
Suzanne Von Stroh,
Kate Parker, Lily Green.
I just don't think that Green
has the feet or the body.
Agreed. I vote
to lose Parker, too.
I disagree.
Suzanne Von Stroh
has perfect form.
Perfectly boring.
She's a classic prima ballerina.
I see a lot of potential there.
Yeah, potential funding.
Well, unless we figure out a way
to turn this whole thing
into a reality show,
academies need funding.
You should know that
better than anyone.
The Parker girl's got
something, Jonathan.
She's got passion.
She's too raw.
She'll refine her skills
in the classroom.
She had plenty of time
to refine her skills.
And she's going to
need a scholarship.
Look, Suzanne has
excellent technique
and she might be
a superior dancer,
but how many Suzannes
do we have here?
What'll she bring to the table?
How about Swan Lake?
How about Giselle?
Bob Fosse? Jerome Robbins?
Can't we do something that's
from the last 50 years?
Tommy.
Excuse me, sorry.
Yes!
When it gets hard
and I cannot cope
Reel myself out
on a long thin road
Floating away
in the slightest breeze
Too out blue,
flight of fantasy
My feet leave this earth
so easily
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Just turn around
say goodbye to me
Hey, Bell.
Yep. Nailed it.
Just like you said I would.
Here I come
Hold me down, I'm a balloon
And I'll fly away
If you don't hold me down
KATE:
I'd like an application.We're filled up
for the semester.
We require at least
one year of formal training.
I just need a chance to...
I need a current resume,
three references and a DVD reel
including an adagio, pirouette
exercises and a classic variation.
You. Run towards me, take off on
the left, right leg in arabesque.
Well done. Suzanne, right?
Suzanne Von Stroh.
COOPER:
Okay. Listen up.Dancing is not only about focus,
precision and perfection.
Dancing is about connections.
Connecting with your audience,
connecting with your partners.
So, over the next
several classes,
you'll be dancing
with different partners
until we find the right match,
one that has connection.
Not only a physical connection,
but also an emotional one.
All right?
Okay, let's go. Pair off.
Hi. Hey, what's up?
Mr. Nielson. I'm Kate Parker.
I auditioned for you
the other day.
I remember.
with you about my audition.
Miss Parker, this is the
best school in the country.
We're extremely selective.
I know.
There are other schools.
But I've been dreaming of
studying here since I was a kid.
I understand that.
I'll work harder
than anyone else.
I mean, if there's
something I did
or something
I screwed up, I'll fix it.
