11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: super Live way UIs story. Julie twirled a perfect pirouet

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: as she waited for Ivy to get to dance class.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: Jolie was always happiest when she was dancing, whether it

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: was gracefully gliding across the dance studio's shinywood floor in

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: her Baladi flats or giving her best performance in her

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: latest jazz routine. Jolie was a dancer, and after meeting

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: her on her first day of dance class, Ivy wanted

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: to be just like her. Very nice, Jolie called out

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: her teacher over the music as Jollie left and spun

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: through the air. It was as if she was weightless

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: and floated to the ground, landing every move with ease.

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: Ivey just looked on in wonder as she entered the

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: dance studio. Wow, I hope someday I can dance as

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: well as Jolie, whispered Ivy to herself. Since they had

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: just met, Ivy didn't know just how long Jolie had

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: been focused on dance. She was a little bit older

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: than her and had already been dancing for five years,

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: multiple times a week and even on her own at home.

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Any chance she got, Hi, Jolie, you're dancing perfectly as always,

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: said Ivy as she put down her dance bag. You

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: really think, so, asked Julie. I always feel like my

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: peer weetes could be better, more spinny, you know, And

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I wish I could hold my airbsks a bit longer

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: and keep my toes pointed a little bit more when

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: I do. Jolie was always hardest on herself, but so

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: complimentary of everyone else around her. She knew that the

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: other girls looked up to her, and since she loved

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: to dance so much, she wanted to do whatever she

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: could to make the others love it as much as her.

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: Ivy put on her ballet shoes and started to stretch

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: next to Jolie. Dance was always fun, but the last

42
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: week had been a little stressful because Jolie and Ivy's

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: teacher would soon be assigning parts for their upcoming recital.

44
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: They were doing a ballet about a caterpillar that turns

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: into a butterfly. The caterpillar was shy and nervous at first,

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: and then throughout the ballet it becomes more and more

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: confident until it finally turns into a beautiful butterfly. But

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: as it goes on its journey, it realizes only at

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: the very end, that it was always the same on

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: the inside, no matter what it looked like on the outside. Jolie,

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna get the part of the butterfly for sure,

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: said Ivy as she worked on her plea. You have

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: just as good a chance as I do, replied Jolie

54
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: without hesitation. You're dancing has come a long way, so

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: much since you started just a few months ago. I'm

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: really impressed and so proud of you. Ivy smiled and thanked. Jolie,

57
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: then turned her attention back to her dancing. She knew

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: she had to work hard if she wanted to get

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: a good part in the recital, and that's just what

60
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: she did. Ivy stayed after class and worked with Jolie

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: and her teacher, trying as hard as she could to

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: improve her moves. But as she worked, there were stumbles, falls,

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: and disappointment as things didn't work out exactly as she

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: wanted them. Jolie and Ivy's teacher could see she was

65
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: getting frustrated and tried their best to keep her positive. Ivy,

66
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: You're doing so great, said her teacher, being as encouraging

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: as she could. Your plas are improving and your airbesques

68
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: are some of the best in class. If you keep

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: putting this level of effort into your dancing, they won't

70
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: need me anymore. You and Jolie will be able to

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: teach the class yourselves. Ivy and Julie's teacher laughed and

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: walked off to get ready to leave for the day.

73
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: She let the girls have a moment together before she

74
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: walked them out to their parents who were waiting outside. Ivy,

75
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: I believe everything, our teacher just said, smiled Julie. And

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: I think you and I would make great dance teachers.

77
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: But for now, we're still learning and we're doing a

78
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: great job. As long as we're having fun, that's all

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: that matters, because that is what dancing is all about.

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: Ivy loved having Julie by her side. She always made

81
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: her feel confident and happy, and the more confident and

82
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: happy she was, the better she danced. When Ivy was

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: relaxed and having fun, she would forget all about the

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: recital and the pressure of getting a good part. She

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: would block out everything else and just let the music

86
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: move her. It was then that she danced her very best.

87
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Ivy and Jolie walked out of dance class together and

88
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: asked their parents if they could have a playdate to

89
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: work on some dance moose before their next class. It

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: would be after that class that the teacher would be

91
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: announcing the parts each of them got for the recital.

92
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Their parents said absolutely to the playdate, and the girls

93
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: got together that weekend with one thing in mind, their

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: ballet recital. Ivy watched as Jolie performed each move flawlessly.

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: How could she ever dance that well, I'vey thought, But

96
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: as quickly as that thought popped in her head, it

97
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: went right out as Jolie encouraged her more and more.

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: She cheered for Ivy when she did great, and told

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: her ways to improve when she needed some help. Julie

100
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: was always positive, happy and supportive. She just wanted Ivy

101
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: to have as much fun as she was having, and

102
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: because of that positive attitude, Ivy was I really think

103
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: I have a shot at getting a good part in

104
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: that recital. Thanks to you, Ivy said as she leapt

105
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: across her playroom with outstretched arms, landing perfectly in front

106
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: of Jolie. And that is all thanks to you. No,

107
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: that's not true, it's all thanks to you and all

108
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: your hard work. Corrected, Julie. You've been working so hard

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: and it really shows. Your pirouettes are simply perfect and

110
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: mine still need some work. No matter how long I've

111
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: been dancing, there are always things I can work on

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: to get better. That's when Ivy found herself in a

113
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: situation she had never been in before. It was also

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: a situation she never thought she would encounter. Could she

115
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: do something and dance better than Jolie. It was then

116
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: that Ivy saw a really wonderful opportunity in front of her,

117
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: a chance to help Julie the same way. Julie helped

118
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: her the first day she joined their dance class. I'm

119
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: not even quite sure sure how to say this. I mean,

120
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: you're such a great dancer, started Ivy as she looked

121
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: at Julie. But if you'd like, I could teach you

122
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: a little secret that I have for landing a really

123
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: great pearwet. That would be amazing. Thank you, Ivy exclaimed Julie,

124
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: so excited to learn from her friend. We can all

125
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: learn from each other all the time, and I couldn't

126
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: be happier to learn from you, Ivy smiled, feeling like

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: a real dance teacher. She explained to Jolie that once

128
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 1: she was ready to land her pere wet, she should

129
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: roll her left foot down, bring her body position into

130
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: a plia, and then put her leg behind her instead

131
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: of off to the side. Jolie tried Ivy's instructions a

132
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: few times before nailing it, and as she was working

133
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: on it, the look on her face made Ivy feel amazing.

134
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: Even though it wasn't her dancing, Ivy felt like she

135
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: was because she was helping Jolie, and her energy and

136
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: excitement was contagious. Wow. You're gonna make a great dance

137
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: teacher someday, Ivy said Jolie as she twirled around the playroom.

138
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: There's no stopping you now, said Ivy with a big smile.

139
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that she could help her friend. A

140
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: few days passed and it was time for dance class again,

141
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: and time to find out which parts they got in

142
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: the dance recital. All the girls were excited and a

143
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: bit nervous as they waited for their teacher to post

144
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: the recital list after dance class was over. I hope

145
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: you get the butterfly roll, Ivy, said Julie to Ivy

146
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: as they waited by one of the ballet bars. You

147
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: really deserved the part. You made it so far in

148
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: such a short time dancing. I can't wait to see

149
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: how good you are next year. That's so nice of

150
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: you to say, Julie. But everyone knows that part was

151
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: made for you, said Ivy with a knowing smile, And

152
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: you'll be amazing. Even though it was Ivy's dream to

153
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: be the lead in the ballet recital, she knew Julie

154
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: wanted it just as bad, maybe even a little bit more,

155
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: and she couldn't help, but hope that Jolie got the part,

156
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: even if it meant she didn't. Well, Ivy and the

157
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: other dancers wouldn't have to wait much longer. As they

158
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: heard the door to their teacher's office open. She walked

159
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: out with a little smirk on her face, so excited

160
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: to let the dancers know the decisions she had made. Now,

161
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: I need you all to know that an an if

162
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: you could have played the lead in this recital, and

163
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: it was a very difficult decision to make. Everyone will

164
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: contribute in a major way in whatever role they have

165
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: been assigned, she said. Their dance teacher loved to dance.

166
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Anne was never happier than when she was in the

167
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: dance studio teaching others. As she looked out at all

168
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: of the dancers' faces, she couldn't help but smile. You

169
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: are all amazing dancers, and it is a pleasure to

170
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: be your teacher, she said, as she posted the list

171
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: and backed away so each child could find their name.

172
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: In an instant. There was a flurry of activity and whispers.

173
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: They were some disappointed size but mostly everyone was very

174
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: happy and excited for their part. Jolly, you did it,

175
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivy, jumping up and down. You're the butterfly, Jolie

176
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: smiled from ear to ear as she jumped around with

177
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: Ivy and some of the other dancers in her class.

178
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: And you're the caterpillar, exclaimed Jolie back at Ivy. We

179
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: get to work together. I couldn't be happier. The girls

180
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: danced off together, ready to practice their roles and make

181
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: their recital the best their dance school had ever seen.

182
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: Weeks past and they all worked so hard to perfect

183
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: their roles. They ran through their dances over and over,

184
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: tried on costumes, and helped build the sets. Then before

185
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: they knew it, the week of the big recital had

186
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: finally arrived, and their teacher had a special surprise for them.

187
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: I am so pleased to make this announcement, said their

188
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: teacher as she gathered all the dancers together after class.

189
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: The recital is so popular that we need to add

190
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: another show to accommodate all the people that want to

191
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: see it. So with that said, we will have our

192
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: original show on Saturday and another on Sunday. Congratulations everyone,

193
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: this recital will be unforgettable. I just know it. Jolie

194
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: and Ivy looked at each other with wide eyes and

195
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: huge smiles. They couldn't believe that so many people wanted

196
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: to see their recital that they had to add another day. Well,

197
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: i'vey thought about how she could get in some extra practice.

198
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: Jolie had another thought. Where are you going, Ivy asked,

199
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: as she stood by the ballet bar and began running

200
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: through her moves again. Don't worry, I'll be right back.

201
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Just keep practicing, said Jolie with a little smile. Ivey

202
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: wondered what she was up to, but had too many

203
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: other things on her mind. Ask she went back to

204
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: dancing while Jolie ran off to talk to their dance teacher.

205
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Only a few minutes past. When Jolie reappeared with their teacher,

206
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: she had a big smile on her face and a

207
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: little tear in her eye. I wonder what Jolie had

208
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: asked the dance teacher. You guys, let's find out what's wrong.

209
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: Ivy asked that she stopped dancing and focused on Jolie

210
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: and her teacher. Nothing is wrong at all, answered her teacher.

211
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: In fact, it couldn't be more right to be honest.

212
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm here to let you know that Jolie had a

213
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: wonderful idea and it involves you, Jolie, why don't you

214
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: tell Ivy? Well, Julie began, Since the butterfly in the

215
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: caterpillar worked so closely in the recital, and because you

216
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: and I have been practicing together this whole time, and

217
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: because we now have two recitals, I thought i'd ask

218
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: if it was be okay if we switched rolls for

219
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: the Sunday show so you could be the butterfly. Ivy

220
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: just sat there, staring at Jolie and her teacher. A

221
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: tear ran down her cheek as she leaned forward and

222
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: hugged Julie. You do that for me, said Ivy through sniffles.

223
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: I would love to be the butterfly at Sunday's performance.

224
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, Julie. I'll never forget this. I wouldn't have

225
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: it any other way, said Julie, hugging Ivy back. I

226
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: know you'll do an amazing job, and I can't wait

227
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: to see you shine. Ivy couldn't wait to tell her

228
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: parents and brother when class was over that day that

229
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: she would be the lead in the recital on Sunday.

230
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: They were all so excited and cheered almost as loud

231
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: as Jolie and Ivy twirled left and pirouetted around the

232
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: stage at the Sunday afternoon recital. It was a huge

233
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: success for sure, but even more than that, it was

234
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: a memory and an experience that Ivy would never forget.

235
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: That leading role gave her the confidence to dance more

236
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: and more, and as she did, she set her sights

237
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: on being a dance teacher when she grew up, so

238
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: she could share her love of dance with others, making

239
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: them feel the way Jolie made her feel by giving

240
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: her the opportunity to live her dream of dancing the

241
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: lead on stage. Ivy also would never forget the wonderful, empowering,

242
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: and supportive world that dance was for her, especially with Jolie.

243
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: She cherished their friends and they encouraged each other every

244
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: chance they could. Ivy also realized that day, as she

245
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: took her final bow as the Butterfly at the recital,

246
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: that even though she started out as a little caterpillar

247
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: when she joined dance, she worked hard and transformed into

248
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: a beautiful, graceful butterfly. Thanks for joining us today. We
