-I did not. You're always stealing things.

You're a bully and you're mean. [Tabitha] Girls.

Taniah, did you take Tutu's headband? No. I never do things like that. Take baby steps for mummy.

Just baby steps for mummy. Mum. It's fine. Excuse me, sorry, sorry. -What's going on?

-It's her headband. What Lulu's headband?

What's happened? -Is it broken?

-Tutu said she left it at home. -And she needs it.

-Alright, I'll go now. Sorry, excuse me. [applause] Welcome to the National Ballet

Association's National Championships. Today we shall see top ballet schools

from each region perform, competing for the National title So if I may, I present

the first of our ballet schools. The Symmetry School of Dance. ["Chopin Prelude Op 28 No 7" begins] [racy music] ["Prelude" continues] -Those costumes are really good.

I've been such a bad sister. I'm lucky to have

a sister as talented as you. Me too! Go Best Pointe! -Congratulations girls.

-[Kat] That was amazing. -I have never seen anything like it.

-You've made Kat and me proud today. All of you.

You were perfect ballerinas. Now, go and see your mum girls.

to congratulate you too. [Tabitha chuckles] -We couldn't have done it without you.

-Thank you. Oh thank you Tutu.

[chuckling] -We did it.

-Oh! You are a very talented teacher, Kat. Thank you Tabitha. But I always wanted to be

a prima ballerina, you know. The very best principle ballerinas

have only found their success with guidance

from the very best teachers. [both sigh] And then, when it was my turn

it didn't even feel scared. I just felt happy.

Because I could see everything. I know. Me too.
