"Feel yourself sinking deeper and deeper and deeper into the ground. You're a tree among trees in a vast forest. You feel your branches getting taller and longer. Stretching up towards the sky, you feel the cool wind against your bark..." Phoebe says to the auditioners sitting on the floor with their eyes closed in a yoga pose.
Charlie opens one eye and looks to Emily for guidance after this very long yoga routine. Emily shrugs her shoulders and looks at Miss. Kate.
"Right now we are all mediating with Phoebe, " Riley says, unsure of herself in the interview chair.
"A little bird comes..."
"Please get us out of here, I have had to pee for the last ten minutes but I'm too scared to interrupt her" Noah says begging in the interview chair.
"After the Choreography round we are cutting it down to twelve and I'm leading them through a mediation to deal with the pressure of this really intense audition." Phoebe says in the interview chair.
"Hey where's Steffanie?" Miss. Kate asks Emily.
"Actually I don't know" Emily says
"I know she has an acting class today" Emily says unsure in the interview chair.
"I'm sure she'll be here soon," Emily says to Miss. Kate
"Well she better be this is a serious audition you can't really miss it" Miss. Kate says with a little bit of anger behind her words.
"She better show up fast because if she's not here in this room for these auditions she's out of A-troupe" Miss. Kate says in the interview chair.
"And you don't speak bird but you know what he's saying..." Phoebe continues
"Ok i've had enough of this" Miss. Kate says, looking at her watch.
"Finally, it looks like James and West are asleep and Noah is going to pee himself" Emily says.
Miss. Kate grabs the gong hammer and hits it. It makes a loud sound waking James and West up and everyone looks over to Miss. Kate.
"Kate! You gonged before it was time!" Phoebe says angrily
"Phoebe lets go" Miss. Kate says impatiently.
"I wasn't done!" Phoebe yells to Kate
"I think meditation is wonderful but there is a time and a place. In the middle of an audition for the Nationals team is not it" Miss Kate says in the interview chair.
Noah looks to Emily for permission for the bathroom, she nods her head, "Everyone get some water and stretch choreography starts in five minutes."
🩰 🩰 🩰
"Today is Choreography day, the second and final cut..." Phoebe says but is interrupted by James and West talking in the back.
"Excuse me!" Phoebe yells to James and West
"Hey" James says awkwardly as West looks behind him thinking Phoebe is talking to someone else.
"Did I say you could speak? There will be no speaking while I'm teaching choreography, do I make myself clear?" Phoebe says in a stern voice.
Charlie gives James and West a disappointed head shake, and James mouths, "Sorry"
"I will not stand for anyone talking back or disrespecting me" Phoebe says in the interview chair.
"Where did the nice lady that was teaching us meditation go? This Phoebe is scary" Hunter says in the interview chair.
"So when we are in this room and I am teaching I don't want to hear peep. We came here to dance, yes or no?" says Phoebe.
