Not good enough.

Maybe you weren't as good

as you thought you were.

Man, that was awkward.

But...

Considering

the situation,

I think awkward

is getting off easy.

For what it's worth,

they're both really happy

to have you here.

They wanted me

to let you know

that you're more than

welcome to stay

for as long as you want--

[brakes screeching, horn blares]

[Gasping in fright]

Hey, pia!

Not funny, tezza.

I hear

you're dancing with Rob.

That's right.

I also hear you two are dating.

It's none of your business.

Well, it's going to take

more than a good dance partner

to win.

Whatever.

I sure wish you and Rob

the very best.

I wish you'd learn

how to drive.

[Scoffs]

Psycho!

Who was that?

[Tires squealing]

Last year's runner-up

at the spin.

What's that?

The holiday spin?

Every year,

Christmas Eve,

dancers from all over the state

come down for it.

Each team has to dance

to a Christmas Carol.

The winners represent Florida

at the nationals.

And there's a $50,000 prize

to the winning dance studio.

Oh.

So, what happened to

your last partner?

Uh, tore his achilles.

Tough luck.

Tell me about it.

Well, new guy

seems pretty good.

He's the reigning champ.

I told him

i was going to meet him.

So I'll see you later?

He's angry.

You can't blame him.

I mean, how would you feel

if you father abandoned you

when you were a baby?

I was young and stupid, Emily.

If I could take it back,

i would.

We all make mistakes.

Why didn't you

try to reach out?

I don't know.

Time went by so quick.

I guess...

By the time I was ready,

it was...

Too late.

It's never too late

to try to make things right.

I'm trying, Emily.

I'm really trying.

I know.

[Pia]:
can you imagine

losing your mom

just before the holidays?

Poor guy.

[Sighing]

enough about that.

Don't.

Rob, stop it.

Don't.

I'm not ready.

[Sighing]

Are you mad at me?

I just...

I've got a lot on my mind.

You're leaving?

I'm tired.

You're not even

going to kiss me goodbye?

I'll see you tomorrow.

[]

[Uptempo piano plays distantly]

Okay, dance through it,

let's go.

Up on the one.

Lead with the heel...

[]

Butterfly.

And one more time

from the top.

Let's go.

[Metronome taps in]

[Music starts]

Rob, too aggressive

with the throw.

It's on the one.

You must be Blake.

Josh.

[]

Lead with the heel.

All right, just

dance through it.

Let's go.

You dance?

Nah. you?

With Mandy.

She'll be here in a bit.

Right on.

Butterfly...

They are good,

aren't they?

Pia's Ruben's prodigy.

Maybe it's the coach.

Okay, okay,

'Kay, 'Kay, 'Kay...

Listen.

Come here.

Hey, don't get frustrated.

You've only been dancing

together for a couple of weeks.
