Of Your Ideas?

No Problema.

Ooh, Yeah, Daisy!

You Go, Girl!

Yeah, Girl.

Go On, Daisy!

Let's Try It.

Daisy, I'll Never Be Able

To Move Like That.

If I Do

That Many Turns,

I'm Gonna Puke.

Guys, She's Just Showing Off

To Make The Rest Of Us

Look Stupid.

Oh, Yeah?

I Don't Have

To Dance To Do That.

Well, You Know What?

I've Got An Idea.

Why Don't You Pack Up

Your Attitude And Get Lost.

Why Don't You Back Off

Before I Make You

Back Off.

[All Yelling At Once]

Hey!

You Guys, Hey!

Hey!

Excuse Me!

You Made Your Point.

Thank You.

So, Look, I'll Stay Here

And I'll Think About

Our Routine

While You Girls

Give Me Another Lap.

[Muttering In Spanish]

[Coughing]

Are These The Pompoms?

God, Who Was

The Last Person

To Use These? Cleopatra?

Well, It's Better

Than Nothing, No?

Speaking Of Nothing,

What Happened To Our

Old Team Uniforms?

Mr. Zavala's

Looking For Them.

But Until Then,

You Guys Will Wear

Your Gym Uniforms

This Weekend.

Oh!

What?

Ms. Bartlett--

What? I Hear

A Lot Of Schools Do That.

Yeah,

Lots Of Poor Schools.

You'll Be Judged

On Your Dancing,

Not Your Outfits.

Either Way,

We're Toast.

What Are You Talking About?

I Think Our Routine's

Pretty Good.

Please.

Our Routine Is

Safe And Boring.

Excuse Me,

But It Makes More Sense

To Start Out Modestly

Than It Does To Get In

Over Our Heads.

Whatever.

You're The Coach.

Look At Them.

They're Like Pretzels!

Start Stretching.

Ms. Bartlett?

I'd Like To Introduce You

To My Parents.

Hi. We Figured Our Girls

Deserved To Have Someone

Here To Cheer Them On.

Well,

I Hope We Don't

Disappoint You.

This Has Been So Good

For Alyssa.

With Our High Hopes

For College,

Every Little

Extracurricular

Activity Helps.

P.A.:
Rolling Hills

Junior High School

Dance Team Onstage.

Marshall Middle School,

On Deck.

What Is "Deck"?

It Means We're Next.

What's With Them?

I Don't Know.

We'll Find Out.

Girl:
Let's Go, Girls!

Squad:
G-O-O-D L-U-C-K,

Good Luck!

Rolling Hills Wishes You

A Lot Of Luck!

[Cheering]

[Dance Music Playing]

Computer Voice:
1, 2, 3, 4.

Squad:
Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ms. Bartlett.

Esmeralda's Sick.

Oh!

Hey. Hey, What's Wrong?

I Can't Do This.

I'm Gonna Throw Up.

Oh, It Was A Long Trip.

Do You Think You're Bus-Sick?

P.A.:
Marshall

Middle School,

Up Next!

Ok, No Time.

I Want You To Breathe

Through Your Nose

And Try And Fill Your Lungs.

It's Probably Just Nerves.

You'll Be Fine.

You All Will Be.

P.A.:
The Marshall Middle

School Dance Team Onstage!

You Think You Can Do This?

Um, Yeah,

I'll--I'll Do It.

Here's Your Poms.

Here. Go, Go, Go.

Good Luck!

Cd!

Focus, Everybody.

I'm Ok.

Hi.

It's The Second Track.

[Applause]

Buenos Das.

Ahh, Mr. Zavala,

What Are You Doing Here?

Curiosity,

Moral Support.

Mm. Hmm.

[Techno Music Playing]

2, 3, 4, 5!

Daisy:
And 5, 6, 7, And--

All:
Marshall!

Daisy:
Come On!

Give It Up!

Unh!

Daisy!

[Music Stops]

[Light Applause]

We Stunk!

You Think?!

It Could Not

Have Been Worse.

Daisy--

You Know What?!

Save It. I Quit.

I Would Have Rather

Been In Detention.

Alyssa--

This Is The Most

Embarrassing Day

Of My Life,

And My Parents

Are Here!

You Girls

Did Fine.

This Is All New.

You Had First-Time

Jitters.

Rome Wasn't Built In A Day.

You'll Get 'Em Next Time!

It'll Be All Right. Ok?

Pretty

Disappointing Day, Huh?

We'll Keep Working.

You Know, Ms. Bartlett,

I Know This Whole

Coaching Thing

Was Sort Of, You Know--

Well, Everybody Really

Pressured You Into It,

But, I Mean,

If You Really,

Totally Hate It...

I Don't Hate It,

Esmeralda.

Is That How It Seems?

Yeah, Sorta.

But--

What?

Well, Me And

The Other Girls

Were Talking,

And Don't Take This

The Wrong Way

Or Anything,

But It Feels Like

There's A Whole Lot More

You Could Teach Us,

And For Some Reason...

You're Holding Back.

This Won't Take Long.

I Just Need

To Get My Backpack.

Man, Even Being Here

When I Don't Have To Be

Makes Me Start

To Sweat.

Yeah, I Know

What You Mean.

Come On.

Good.

It's Still Here.

Well, Since I Drove,

Does It Mean

You'll Treat

For Burgers?

You're The Big

Working Man.

Yeah. The One

Who's Always Hurting

When The Bills Are Due,

Remember?

Shh! Shh!

Do You Hear That?

Hear What?

Who Would Be

In The Gym

On A Saturday?

Who Cares?!

[Music Playing]

You

Can Make It If You Try

Wondering What

He Has Got To Think Of Me

There's Nowhere To Go

But As I Don't Doubt

Your Fears Are Missing

I Think You Should Know

It Won't Be Long, Baby,

For You To Discover

You're A Step Away

Hey, Hey!

Hey! You Know

That Lady?

That's Her.

Who Her?

That's My Dancing Coach,

Ms. Bartlett.

That's Her!

Oh, She's Hot.

Ohh!

I Meant Her Dancing.

She's Really Good.

Yeah, Not That She Ever

Gave Us The Slightest Clue.

She's

Your Dancing Coach,

And You've

Never Seen Her

Dance Before?

Not Like That!

[Slams Car Door]

Don't Give Up,

Don't Give Up

You Will Make It Through

Mm-Mmm

[Music Ends]

[Crying]

Hey, Yolanda.

Daisy, May I

Have A Moment?

I Already Turned In

My Lab Assignment.

It's About

Dance Team.

I Quit.

Can We Talk?

I'd Really Like You

To Rejoin Us.

Why? So I Can Make

A Total Idiot

Out Of Myself

In Front Of 5 Or 6

More Schools?

You Have The Potential

To Be Great, Daisy.

Do You Know That?

Look, I Only Joined

This Dance So I Could Get

Out Of Detention.

Now That's Done.

Well, What About

The Other Girls?

They Deserve

To Have Somebody

With Your Talent,

Your Strengths.

Isn't That What

They Have You For?

Oh. No, Wait,

I Forgot.

You Only Dance

When Nobody's Looking.

I Saw You In The Gym

On Saturday.

I Hadn't Danced

For A Really Long Time.

It Kind Of Stinks

That You've Been

Holding Out On Us.

There's A Lot

About This

You Don't Know

Or Understand.

And Whose Fault Is That?

You're Right.

But Everyone Deserves

A Second Chance, Huh?

[School Bell Rings]

I Gotta Get To Class.

Ok, Ladies,

Rolling Hills...

Is Gone.

Today, We're Gonna

Start From Scratch.

Are We Actually

Gonna Dance Today?

Yeah, We Are

Gonna Dance Today,

But Rhythm Is First.

I'm Gonna Break

This Down Into

What's Called An 8-Count.

And 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6--

I Can't Hear You.

[Together]

And, 1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8.

Good. Everybody Up!

Off The Bleachers!

We've Got A Lot

Of Ground To Cover.

We're Gonna Isolate

Different Parts

Of Our Body,

Starting With The Head.

And 1, 2, 3, 4...

Chin Down...

And Up Again...

Good, Esmeralda, Good.

Alyssa, Try And Keep

That 8-Count In Your Head.

I Know This Is

Gonna Feel Awkward,

But Don't Worry About It,

Just Go With It.

Let's Go With The Hips.

And Side, 2, 3, 4...

And Circle...

And Circle...

And 1, 2, 3, 4...

And Circle...

And Circle...

And Side, 2, 3, 4...

And Circle...

And Circle--Good!

Now, Let's Stretch. Ready?

And Stretch Side...

2, 3, 4...

Circle Around...

Come On Up...

And Side, 2, 3, 4...

Circle Around...

Come On Up.

Good Job.

Shake It Out.

Loosen It Up.
