Haven't you seen my hip-hop class?

They love it.

ballet can. All that real dance training.

Ah, here are my girls.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, baby.

Honey.

There's so many beautiful things in the

world, and l just want you to see 'em.

Ma. So, can we make it

- Honey Daniels. And you're with?

- No one right now.

Sorry. The open audition was this morning.

We're not seeing any more unsolicited dancers.

But the ad said the audition was all day.

lt is, but the open part ended at noon.

l have a job and couldn't

get off before noon.

Unfortunately, there were

about a thousand girls who could.

Can't l just audition?

Next.

Check it.

That's what l'm talkin' about.

l should be dancing in videos

like this. You're right,you should.

But sometimes you gotta start in the

back door if you wanna get in the front.

You already gave me that lecture.

l'm gonna keep giving it you.

'Cause if you would have listened to me,

your ass would have been

famous by now. For what?

Michael Ellis Productions.

Yes, that video is shooting

next Thursday.

You seen Michael?

He's over there.

Ellis Productions.

Yes, he is.

One moment, please.
