Next Saturday. "Starmy I would like to talk to you after class" said Ms.Cherry. "Yes Ms.Cherry..." said Starmy very disappointed. "Okay, let's do our leaps from last week! So Yal and Gromit will be partners and Starmy will go alone today!" instructed Ms.Cherry. Ms.Cherry plays presses play on the music player. "Remember switch your arms for every leap you do!" reminded Ms.Cherry. Yal and Gromit goes. Then Starmy. "Now do you remember our warm ups for tap?" asked Ms.Cherry. They all nod their heads. "Okay go to the barre for the warm-ups for tap!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "Remember two front, two side, and two back!" said Ms.Cherry. Ms.Cherry plays the tap warm up music. "Shuffles!" said Ms.Cherry. "Front side!" said Ms.Cherry. "Side back!" said Ms.Cherry. "Front back!" said Ms.Cherry. "Remember to ball change to turn and do the other side during the music!" said Ms.Cherry. "Now turn to the other side to do the same steps." instructed Ms.Cherry. "Now our flaps!" said Ms.Cherry teaching a new lesson. "Don't use your heel on flaps only use the front part of your shoe to make the flap noise!" instructed Ms.Cherry. Yal and Starmy gets the hang of the flaps. "Okay Gromit use the front of the shoe not your heel and front." said Ms.Cherry helping Gromit with the new move. "Let's listen to the flap music!" said Ms.Cherry. Plays the flap music. Ms.Cherry goes along with the music. Pauses the music and restarts it. "Ready?" asked Ms.Cherry. *Plays the music* "Very good guys! Try and stay with the music!" said Ms.Cherry. The class ends. "Starmy can I talk to you?" asked Ms.Cherry very firmly. "Y-y-yes." stammered Starmy. "What you did to Gromit last week was unacceptable behavior from a sweet star. Before he leaves go apologize to him... NOW!" meowed Ms.Cherry. "Uhh.. hey Gromit..." said Starmy. "What do you want Starmy.." asked Gromit in a rude tone. "Listen... I'm sorry for hitting you I didn't mean it." said Starmy very apologetic. "I forgive you Starmy." said Gromit taking the apology. Starmy hugs Gromit. Gromit hugs back. "Bye Starmy!!" barked Gromit. "Bye Gromit!" said Starmy. *Next Saturday* "Did we do ballet last week?" asked Ms.Cherry. "Uhh... I don't think we did." answered Gromit. "Then let's do ballet first!" instructed Ms.Cherry. All 3 of them place on their ballet paws "Okay go to the barre for our plies and demi plies." said Ms.Cherry. "Guys listen to the music." said Ms.Cherry pressing play on the music. "Listen how it's slow and not fast?" asked Ms.Cherry. "Be one with the music guys." said Ms.Cherry. She restarts the music. "Tendu then flat." instructed Ms.Cherry. "Demi plie and up." instructed Ms.Cherry. "Try and get your knees over your paws for demi plies!" said Ms.Cherry. "Demi plie and up, now tendu to first position!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "Plie and stretch." said Ms.Cherry. "Now go down! Come up!" meowed Ms.Cherry. "Well done guys!" praised Ms.Cherry. "Let's come out to the center!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "Let's do Jetes and Temp Leves!" said Ms.Cherry. *After teaching Jetès and Temp Leves* "Let's do jazz!" said Ms.Cherry. "Okay guys we have been working on our stretching for 4 weeks now so we're going to start to do our dances next Saturday!" said Ms.Cherry. "Ms.Cherry?" asked Gromit. "Yes Gromit?" asked Ms.Cherry. "So this class is going to be... harder?" asked Gromit becoming nervous. "No we're only starting out so there will be easy moves with a mix of medium level of moves." said Ms.Cherry. *Another new student comes in* "Hi Fluffles!" greeted Ms.Cherry. "Hello!" said Fluffles. "Hey Gromit! I didn't know you were in this class!" said Fluffles. "I got a bit... fidgety while inventing a lot... so my master signed me up for dance to give me a break for inventing on the weekends." explained Gromit who is now blushing. "Oh well ... see you around." said Fluffles who gives him a slight smile. "Okay sit on the floor to do some stretches!" instructed Ms.Cherry. Gromit and Fluffles sit next to each other for the stretches. "Okay, now we can do 2 partners!" said Ms.Cherry. "Leaps!" said Ms.Cherry. Starmy and Yal go. Then Gromit and Fluffles go. "Fluffles remember to switch your arms!" reminded Ms.Cherry. "Now, is this how I do leaps?" asked Ms.Cherry. Ms.Cherry does her leaps wrong and uses the same arm with the same leg leaping. They shake their heads no. "So who can show me how to do leaps correctly?" asked Ms.Cherry. "We can!" said Yal and Gromit. Yal and Gromit shows Ms.Cherry the correct form for leaps. "Very good! I want you guys to switch your arms and try and do a split kind of in the air!" instructed Ms.Cherry. Wallace comes to the studio early and watches Gromit from the little window to look inside the studio. "Get on our tap paws then come out to the center for a new lesson!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "So we're going to do hop shuffle step shuffle hop paw then switch paws with jump shuffle jump step and go to the other paw!" Ms.Cherry's cat voice echoes around the quiet studio which can be heard from the waiting room. "Let's listen to the music. It's a bit fast so I will slow it down." said Ms.Cherry. *She plays the correct music for the step* *Slows it down* *The next class starts to come and wait in the waiting room* "Hop shuffle step shuffle jump paw!" said Ms.Cherry going with the music. "Then shuffle jump step!" said Ms.Cherry. "Let's try it!" said Ms.Cherry. *The music plays* "Hop shuffle hop shuffle jump paw, hop shuffle hop shuffle jump paw, shuffle jump step!" said Ms.Cherry going along with the others. "So say it with me!" said Ms.Cherry. "Hop shuffle hop shuffle hop paw, step shuffle hop step." said Ms.Cherry. They repeat it. "Now do it again before we have to go!" said Ms.Cherry. Wallace gets fascinated but surprised on the way the move is. "Great job today guys!" said Ms.Cherry. "Remember that we're going to start our dances next Saturday!" said Ms.Cherry. The flap music starts. "Bye guys!" said Ms.Cherry. She signals her advanced class to come in and about to close the door but half way and she signals to Gromit and gives Wallace a thumbs up and closes the studio's door. The flap music is faster than what Gromit heard. Gromit tugs on Wallace to watch the class after him do the warm ups he did. They both watch "Whoa!!! Their so good! They barley need Ms.Cherry to guide them!!" yelped Gromit. "They were here longer than you Gromit and they learned it before you came." said Wallace trying to explain how they are so good. "Okay, we're going to do our shuffles, shuffle hop, shuffle hop paws, shuffle ball change, and our maxie paws!" Ms.Cherry's voice was faintly heard. "One day... I will be able to do all of this..." whispered Gromit to himself. Wallace and Gromit leave the studio to go home. Ms.Cherry's point of view. "Okay guys! Now, turn and do flaps with your LEFT paw!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "Good!" praised Ms.Cherry. After teaching the advanced classes and some tumbling classes the time came to close up time.
