Angelina Ballerina

There’s a new Hip Hop dancing mouseling at Camembert Academy: A.Z. The girls find him interesting, especially since he knows how to do Hip Hop, but they definitely do not want him as a ballet partner. It’s not until Angelina is reluctantly paired up with A.Z. that she learns you can’t judge a book by its cover. Not only does he know Hip Hop, but A.Z. is pretty good at ballet too!

When Angelina and Polly accidentally break their dad’s fiddle, they come up with elaborate excuses to get out of trouble. In the end, the girls learn to tell the truth and also redeem themselves by helping to pay for the fiddle repairs.

Angelina has a recital coming up with her class at Camembert and wants Alice to attend as her special guest – but Alice has an ice skating event at the ice rink on the very same night, and she wants Angelina to come to her performance as her special guest! They struggle with the dilemma, and ultimately, find a way to rush back and forth between the two events. It’s exhausting, but worth it!

Angelina and Alice have been given the task of designing the Giant prop for “Jackie and the Beanstalk”. Angelina gets a bit carried away trying to make the biggest and best prop ever. Subsequently her plans and the Giant come crashing to the ground! When she clears up the mess, she stumbles upon a much simpler and more effective way of making a big impact, learning that it’s best to keep things simple!

Ms. Mimi’s class of mouselings plans to put on a production of “Peter and the Wolf.” In it, each character is identified by a musical riff played on a student’s favorite instrument. When Ms. Mimi comes to rehearsal with laryngitis, she uses these musical riffs to communicate with the mouselings. Vici tries it herself and attempts to communicate by using a recorder and no words. She ends up showing everyone that friends don’t always need words to talk to each other.

Angelina and her friends are putting on a show, and they each have a specific job to do. Vici’s the Choreographer, Marco’s the Set Designer, Alice is the Stage Manager, Gracie’s on Props and Angelina is the Soloist! Despite Angelina’s thoughts that everyone should be interested in what SHE thinks, she learns that teamwork – and actually listening to each other – makes for the perfect show!
