Center Stage: On Pointe Page #2

I don't think so.

Yeah, Wednesday, 3:00.

Here's the address.

All you need to do is just come

up with a little modern routine.

Just show off what you can do.

I don't think I'd be comfortable

there. In that environment.

In what environment?

Well, it's a world-class

ballet company.

It's full of all these gorgeous,

beautiful, skinny ballerinas, and...

No. No, none of that matters.

When they see you dance?

It's fantastic.

You're gonna be fine, trust me.

Even if I went, I would have to

change my name on that application.

I don't want people to know

that I'm Kate Parker's sister.

That's fine. You can

call yourself whatever you want.

Is that a yes?

That's a maybe.

No. Wednesday, 3:00?

I'll see you there?

What's with the moves?

I'm auditioning to be part of

the American Ballet Company.

A ballerina?

So dancing runs in the family?

You're not the ballet type.

I'm not auditioning to

be a ballerina.

I'm auditioning

to be a modern dancer.

Auditioning? Well, just tell

them who you are.

I can't tell them I'm

Kate Parker's sister, because

then they'll expect me to dance like

her, and I already know I can't.

Anyways, I want to get

in on my own.

You'd be a good paralegal.

I don't want to be a paralegal.

I want to be a dancer.

Yeah, well, so did that one.

I had the same conversation with her

20 years ago, right in this chair.

I'm still here.

So is she.

Eat your pie, Myron.

I'm just trying to give

you a little dose of reality.

Following your dreams is

one thing

but it's good to have a

backup plan.

I don't want to be talking

to you here in 20 years.

Thank you, Myron.

Hey! Hey!

So what's next for you, Kate?

I'm going to Rome next week.

I wanna go too,

but I have school.

Maybe one day you'll get to dance

onstage with your big sister.

I already practice every day.

Honestly?

I'm feeling pretty good

about my chances this year.

Richard Nooney.

Great dancer.

Never should have

switched to modern though.

His girlfriend's a dancer, too,

but I hear she's better.

That's Allegra Hjelmstad.

She's amazing.

I already know she's in.

Unless they find out

about her reputation.

But everyone pretty much

knows already, so...

What's her reputation?

Sabotage.

She was forced out of the

Dallas Ballet Academy for it.

But her dad's uber-rich,

so they kept it on the down low.

She's who you want for a partner,

but she's mine, so hands off.

What about her?

Her? Seriously?

That's the level

these modern dancers are on.

Looks like you found

some talented movers.

Nice job.

I'd like to thank you all

for auditioning.

You've all presented your arts

and skills admirably

both in ballet

and in modern dance.
