on talk shows,

on the red carpet.

Here, you will learn

a discipline.

Here, you will come

to understand

what being a performing

artist really means.

Here, you will dedicate

yourself to your craft.

Now, if you're looking

for shortcuts,

if you want fame,

if you want easy rewards,

I highly recommend that

you get up and leave now.

There are many very

talented young people

who would be thrilled

to take your place.

So, have a great year.

Five, six, seven,

eight, go!

Extend that leg. Travel!

Rosie, you're getting dizzy because

you're not spotting. Now, spot!

- I'm trying.

- Yeah, not hard enough.

Shoulders down.

Press them down.

Stay with her, Kevin.

No, no. Stop. Stop.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

Kevin, you're a mess.

Look.

She does passe fifth position.

Let her get a real good plie,

so you both have a good

preparation for the pas de chat.

On her next lift, you've got to

use your stomach and your back.

Stay strong.

You have to support her.

All right, take a minute.

Jeremy and Alice.

Kevin, you're not gonna be

a professional ballet dancer

unless you learn

how to partner.

And...

Kevin, watch Jeremy.

See that?

Lovely.

Beautiful, Alice.

All right. I don't want

you to think about it.

Get out of your head

and let it be spontaneous.

This exercise is about honing

in on your natural instincts.

Free your inhibitions and

physically inhabit your own body.

Otherwise, you'll never be in touch

with any characters you're playing.

Here we go.

- Zip-Zip!

- Zip-Zip!

- Whoom!

- Whoom!

- Pow!

- Pow!

- Be!

- Be!

- Booga-Booga!

- Booga-Booga!

- Bam!

- Bam!

- Che-whe-wow!

- Che-whe-wha!

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny,

get out of your brain!

You got to learn to loosen up

and go with the first thing

that pops in your head.

Okay, everybody follow me.

Come on. Shake it out.

Shake it out. Shake it out.

Come on, shake, shake, shake!

Come on, it's the

only body you got!

You gotta be loose!

Loose, loose!

Jenny, is that loose?

You gotta learn not to be

embarrassed and you better do it now.

All right, loose, folks!

Loose. Loosen your bodies up.

Keep your eyes on

the sheet music.

If you holdin'

my money then pay me

Just another day in

the life of the queen MC

Can't stop, won't stop

Until I cop a Bentley

No, no, throw the dice.

Where you been, man?

I had to get this out

of the storage room.

We gotta get rollin'.

- Yo, plug this in.

- Are you serious?

- Rosie, plug it in. Come on.

- Right now?

Your action is "to give love."

Or "to seduce."

Let's try "to seduce."

All right, what does that look

like? What does that look like?

Okay. No, that was awful.

Can I sit down?

Sure.

Thanks.

I just met these agents,

like, a month and a half ago,

and they've been sending me out,

and I guess these casting directors are

really excited to see me for this pilot.

You didn't like the shaking?

See, I didn't see that as

fun. It was more of a hassle.

It doesn't really have

anything to do with acting.

I can maybe introduce you guys to

the agents if you want. You know?

But it loosens you.

Okay, what happens if your

character's, like, really tense?

Joe, does it work?

Today?

No.

I keep telling her to just

relax. It's nothing big.

But I have too much work

to do after school.

I have vocal exercises

and memorizing monologues,

and that's all before I even

start on my normal homework.

You actually do

all that stuff?

Huh?

There's a drum set over

there. I dare you to go on it.

How many years

have you been rapping?

She won in the last round.

What are you talkin' about?

You are retarded. Your

brain is not working right.

Yeah?

Is that so?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- This is Marco.

- How you doing?

You know I'm gonna eat you

up in front of everybody.

You can never...

Whoa!

Oh, yeah!

You need to get your

life straight for Christ's sake

Because your mind state ain't

moving as fast as my pace

You're spending cheese

every other day on new kicks

It's useless, sometimes

I wonder if you're stupid

Yo, I'm a real boss

chick You better believe it

I buy what I want whenever I need it

A girl like me don't worry about

haters and all that light stuff

I'll worry about it later

You're acting like a

dummy and I'm mad Mad?

You think we don't know you

get your money from your dad

- What?

- It's obvious

You never even

had a job before

Step to this you'll

be highly sore what up?

Shut up.

- Yo, Jamie, drop out at the next bar!

Now when I say

we gonna y'all say rock it

- We gonna

- Rock it!

When I say we gonna

y'all say rock it

- We gonna

- Rock it!

When I say

Say yeah

Hey.

Not your thing?

Not really.

My parents would die

if they saw that.

They think it's

a conservatory.

Everyone practicing

cello all day.

Hey, I'm Denise.

Malik.

Mind if I sit down?

You know, if it makes

you feel any better,

my mom doesn't

even know I go here.

Seriously?

She thinks I'm down

at the public high school.

She works three jobs.

She's never gonna check.

Why don't you just tell her?

She doesn't want me to be

an actor or a rapper.

Look, what about you?

I mean, I see you playing the piano

like you're Beethoven and everything.

Is that your thing?

- Yeah.

- Cool.

Well, actually,

I don't know.

I mean, I guess,

I think it...

Okay, truth is,

I've never tried

anything else.

Oh.

What's up, man?

What you looking at?

I'm just watching

this girl dance.

Yeah, I've seen her.

But she thinks she's, like, the

most talented kid in the school.

Maybe she is.

Well, I gotta go. You want to

keep staring, go right ahead, man.

See you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I will wait

for you to figure it out

Soon you'll be chasing me through

the out door onto the street

I will be kneeling

on the ground

Can I help you?

You know,

you can really dance.

Thanks

for the newsflash.

But I think you could dance a little

better, though, if your music wasn't so wack.

I'm just saying.

Excuse me?

Yeah. I mean,

if you really wanna dance,

you need something

way better than that.

And you know

just what that is.

Yeah.

Here, listen.

That's just a demo, too.

I mean, I'm adding, like,

a lot more bass and effects.

The second,

the second bar,

that's not even the final

part, let me tell you.

I got more stuff that

I can show you. Not bad.

I got more tracks.

I'm sure you do.

There's a

somebody I'm longing to see

I hope that he

Turns out to be

Someone who'll watch

Over me

I'm a little lamb

who's lost in the wood

I know I could

Always be good

To one who'll watch

Over me

Okay. Very good, Jenny.

Thank you.

Except for the fact that you have

no idea what you're singing about.

Well, it's about a girl who gets her heart

broken and is looking for another guy.
