Isabelle Dances Into the Spotlight Page #5

They'll be so excited.

They're so supportive.

And they always say that

they're my biggest fans.

At least I won't have to spend all

that time in rehearsals with Renata.

(LAUGHING)

I'm gonna go check.

She got in.

Yes!

Told ya.

I can't believe we get to

dance with Jackie Sanchez!

What do you mean "we"?

I got Clara,

and you got a child party guest, a tin

soldier and one of the snowflakes.

You get to dance

in three scenes!

I can't believe it! (LAUGHS)

You did it.

Congratulations, lzzie.

But wait, I don't get it.

My audition was terrible.

And Jackie saw me

totally screw up

at the Halloween Benefit.

Obviously Jackie and the director thought

you were good enough to be in the show.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Maybe being in the show

isn't such a good idea.

Maybe I should go talk

to Ms. Hawken.

Are you seriously saying that

you might not do the show?

Congratulations to all of you who

were cast in The Nutcracker.

Now to add to the excitement,

those of you who are cast

are eligible for admittance

to the New York City Ballet's School of

American Ballet Summer Intensive Program.

Four students will be

chosen by the director

and by none other than

Jackie Sanchez herself.

(ALL EXCLAIM EXCITEDLY)

One student each will come

from the fourth, fifth, sixth

and seventh grades,

and it will be quite

an honor to be chosen.

The New York City Ballet,

of course,

is one of the finest ballet

companies in the world.

And the School of American Ballet's

Summer Program is just as excellent

and very, very difficult

to get into.

So good luck.

Now you can't drop

out of The Nutcracker.

Oh, no, Isabelle! You're

thinking of dropping out?

I guess that's probably

for the best.

It'll give you more

time to practice.

Right?

Looks like that

fourth grade spot is mine.

I wouldn't be so sure

about that, Renata.

What did you say?

I'm going to win

that fourth grade spot.

Oh, yeah?

We'll see about that.

That was awesome.

I can't believe

I just said that.

She won't last a week.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

RENATA:
And by the way,

Isabelle, nice jacket.

LUISA:

That's telling her, lzzie.

JADE:
It's fine.

We're gonna have so much fun

in this show together.

Just think of us dancing

with Jackie Sanchez.

There we go.

I think it's ready to go on display

at the American History Museum.

Hey.

Why did I have to make

such a big deal about

how I was going to beat Renata

for the summer program?

Oh, sweetie, you should not be

worrying about the summer program.

You should just be focusing on

doing well in The Nutcracker.

All I've ever wanted to do is

get to study at the School of

American Ballet in New York City.
