- The Prince bumped into one of the other dancers!
They're injured!
The curtains are closing right in the middle of the show!
- Not so cool.
- Oh no!
- This is awful!
- Just terrible!
- Ooh, no doubt about it: these toes are stubbed.
- We're two dancers short.
We have to end the show!
- I can't believe this is happening.
- Wait, Ramone.
Just now I saw a couple stage hands dancing.
They were really good.
- The only stage hands we have are Peg and Cat.
- We'll do it!
(triumphant music) - The show can go on!
- Costumes!
For you... and you.
- Places!
♪♪♪ - Aren't you, like, pinching yourself, Cat?!
We're not only gonna SEE Misty dance, we're gonna dance WITH Misty Copeland!
- I, uh, can't go out there, Peg.
Ahem!/- What?!
- Sorry!
- Dancing is like your favorite thing in the world!
And this is your chance to do it with all those amazing dancers!
- But not one of those dancers has a tail!
And I totally have a tail!
With all those non-tail dancers, I'd look ridiculous!
- OK.
I get it.
We've been sorting socks and boards, and saying this belongs with that because of how it looks.
But you don't sort dancers that way.
- Peg's right.
Dancing isn't about how you look, Cat.
It's how you make people feel.
And your dancing makes me feel totally awesome.
- Whoa-ho-ho!
- You might be a cat with a tail, but when you step onto that stage and dance, you can become a prince.
- Ready to dance now, Cat?
- Call me Prince!
