Center Stage: Turn It Up Page #2

---

on a long thin road

Floating away

in the slightest breeze

Too out blue,

flight of fantasy

My feet leave this earth

so easily

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Just turn around

say goodbye to me

Hey, Bell.

Yep. Nailed it.

Just like you said I would.

Here I come

Hold me down, I'm a balloon

And I'll fly away

If you don't hold me down

KATE:
I'd like an application.

We're filled up

for the semester.

We require at least

one year of formal training.

I just need a chance to...

I need a current resume,

three references and a DVD reel

including an adagio, pirouette

exercises and a classic variation.

You. Run towards me, take off on

the left, right leg in arabesque.

Well done. Suzanne, right?

Suzanne Von Stroh.

COOPER:
Okay. Listen up.

Dancing is not only about focus,

precision and perfection.

Dancing is about connections.

Connecting with your audience,

connecting with your partners.

So, over the next

several classes,

you'll be dancing

with different partners

until we find the right match,

one that has connection.

Not only a physical connection,

but also an emotional one.

All right?

Okay, let's go. Pair off.

Hi. Hey, what's up?

Mr. Nielson. I'm Kate Parker.

I auditioned for you

the other day.

I remember.

I was hoping I could speak

with you about my audition.

Miss Parker, this is the

best school in the country.

We're extremely selective.

I know.

There are other schools.

But I've been dreaming of

studying here since I was a kid.

I understand that.

I'll work harder

than anyone else.

I mean, if there's

something I did

or something

I screwed up, I'll fix it.

Miss Parker, I'm sorry.

I really am.

To be honest with you,

I think you've got

a lot of talent.

But there's nothing I can do.

Miss Parker. Tell me something.

Why do you think you didn't

get into this place?

Was it because

you're not as good

as the other girls

that auditioned?

Apparently I'm not.

If you really believe that,

then maybe you should go back to

wherever it is you came from.

Tough first day?

Oh, crap.

KATE:
The Foundry?

I doubt it's your scene.

A girl like you.

A girl like me?

It's just different than

this place. That's all.

It's loud and sweaty.

And that's your scene?

Yeah.

What's that look for?

Sorry I bugged you.

I'll see you at class.

Where's my car?

Hey.

Hey!

I think you guys

have got my car.

It's a '88 Jimmy.

Michigan plates, right?

Yeah.

Three hundred bucks. Cash only.

Three hundred bucks?

You're kidding, right?

Do I look like

Eddie Murphy to you?

Don't you turn me upside down

Don't you try to stay around

And feeling fine

like you're the best

But you never know

Can I have a beer?

BARTENDER:
Here you go, Tommy.
