"TARA, VOICEOVER:" "Previously on Dance Academy..." "MISS RAINE:" "The world's most prestigious ballet competition, the Prix de Fonteyn, will be held in Sydney." "ROBYN:" "Australia, these are your representatives." "Grace, Tara came to me because she was worried about you." "About what you said happened with Zach." "How could you take his side?" "I trusted you." "I just talked to Dad." "In 38 hours, he'll be picking me up from Heathrow." "Oh, and um, at the Nationals, I let you win." "It's over." "Because you're still in love with someone else." "Kat, I'm not still..." "I don't want to be with..." "£ Take a breath" "£ Close your eyes" "£ Take a leap of faith" "£ And lead the way tonight" "£ This is my chance" "£ My chance to feel alive. £" "TARA, VOICEMAIL :" "Hi, it's Tara." "Sorry I missed you." "Leave a message." "Miss Webster." "Can you believe that this momentous day has finally arrived?" "It's just me and you." "Prix de Fonteyn, baby." "Josie Mason, 16, Royal Ballet School." "Gold medal and Audience Choice at last year's Genee." "Good." "And how will you beat her?" "She..." "I don't know." "Um... pirouettes en dedans." "She can't turn from fifth." "But you can." "Very good." "Um..." "Benjamin Tickle, boyfriend." "And does he get a score?" "The judges are still considering, but he's definitely one to watch." "Hey, Miss Raine's ready for us, T." "Keep your neck long." "You're straining just a little." "Good, Sammy." "Now try and get inside it." "Good." "That was technically very strong." "But yeah, you're right." "I just..." "I'm not getting inside it." "It just feels like steps." "OK, Sammy." "Tara, come here." "You need to hear this too." "I struggle to believe I'm saying it, but all you need now is rest and mental clarity P" "(Both talk at once)" "If I see either of you two dancing before the competition, you'll be sorry." "Why are you awake?" "I was the candidate who should never have made it through to the Internationals." "Pants." "And my contemporary solo means absolutely nothing." "That's why I'm not connecting to it." "You're going to need a cardigan as well." "Where are we going?" "It's like 5am." "Shhh!" "Not him." "Only us." "Get changed." "There's a greater philosophical point at work here." "Why have I chosen this solo?" "Ergo, why do I dance at all?" "To win the Prix de Fonteyn." "No, petal!" "You dance to fly." "And you dance because..." "See?" "Because I'm not doing it to rebel against Dad anymore." "OK, look guys, as of tomorrow, you are both representing the entire country." "And I'm one very proud leg of this friendship tripod, so please stop talking and just soak it up." "Come on." "Seriously late, people." "Tara Webster." "Congratulations." "Thank you, Mr Heathcote." "I feel honoured to be here." "Good." "Look, I'd better not let the other judges think I'm favouring the home side." "Team UK." "I bet that's Josie Mason." "Grace, when did you..." "I was wondering when I'd see you, guys." "Hi." "What happened?" "You just disappeared on us." "Ah, big family drama back in London." "I hate goodbyes." "So you're competing for England?" "SLADE:" "They need us." "Nothing big, just the official team photograph." "Yeah." "Come by later?" "I'm getting everyone together for this thing." "Oh, mysterious." "He doesn't know about Zach, or why I left?" "I would never tell anybody about that." "Um, how are you now?" "I called and wrote." "It's really good to know you're still looking out for me, T." "OK." "So now that I've got you all here..." "Dude, you're not coming out again, are you?" "No." "Um, OK, I've realised that I dance my best when I'm with you guys." "So for my contemporary solo," "I want you all on stage doing it with me." "Hold on, so you want to make your Prix solo a group activity?" "Yes." "Yes, I do." "What about the rules?" "Well, I'm not going to change the choreography." "I'll be at the front." "You'll be up there with me, making me look good." "No, Sammy, there's a reason why we didn't cut it at the Nationals, alright?" "It's just a gimmick." "You're self-sabotaging." "TARA:" "You haven't said a word." "I know it's Christian, but I don't want you to feel like you can't talk to me about the break-up." "And I totally would, but it's boring." "I just got over ballet boys." "T. Hey, um..." "I know we're technically rivals now, but this all got sprung on me so last minute and I was wondering if you could" "How did that happen?" "What happened to Josie Mason?" "What, after I pushed her down the stairs and broke her ankle?" "(Chuckles)" "Seriously, can you just watch my rehearsal?" "I need your feedback." "Bear with me." "I'm a little nervous." "Abigail, Wendy's in a battle but she's still Wendy." "I want to see that sweetness, yeah?" "The vulnerability." "Sammy, I was told you're not meant to be anywhere near a studio." "What's going on?" "Just feeling adrift, sir." "Well, make yourself useful." "Grab that camera and film this for me." "So, what do you think?" "The look on your face, T." "You know how much that solo means to me." "So why aren't you performing it in the Internationals?" "Oh, right, because you could never do it properly." "Why are you doing this?" "Don't be that naive." "I was there for you through Saskia, through Kat." "And you betrayed me." "Feel special." "I had to move mountains so that I could come back and take away what you want most." "Which is?" "I'm going to win the Prix de Fonteyn, doing your solo, and you're going to watch." "It's curtain up in three days." "That is not where it should be." "(Music stops)" "A bit of tension is interesting." "You two are slipping into dysfunctional." "Take it outside and sort it out." "I don't want to be jealous of Tara, OK?" "And I'm not going to let this affect my friendship with her." "Oh wait, no, that's right." "I invented that." "You don't care she's with Ben now, do you?" "No, I don't." "Good!" "Because she's happy." "She's really happy and she's over you." "You know what, Christian?" "Stop lying to yourself and admit you're in love with someone who doesn't love you back." "Trust me." "It's character building." "Hey, Zach, do you want me to upload this?" "Sure, if you really need the distraction." "But be careful." "I've got the whole year saved on there." "Grace has manipulated me this entire year and now she expects me to lie down and justP" "You guys are friends." "You don't know if she did anything." "Grace got expelled from the Royal for giving a girl a nervous breakdown." "She's more than capable." "So I should go to the judges, right?" "I should say that she hurt someone to get on the team." "How badly do you want to win?" "Mr Heathcote?" "I need to speak to you about a competitor." "Confidentially." "OK." "Can you take whatever that is somewhere else?" "I have to find Wendy's sweet side." "It's not a gimmick." "Wanting you on stage with me." "You're just trying to distract the judges, because you don't think you deserve to be there." "No, this is my chance to be on the world stage." "I'm showing them who I really am." "That's the only way I'll be good enough to win." "Why don't you come and watch my tech rehearsal?" "If you still think I'm sabotaging then I won't do it." "OK, so be brutally honest." "I won't hold back." "ON SPEAKER:" "Every dancer knows that being technically perfect isn't enough." "We need to know why we dance." "£ Well, I was the one who showed you the sky £" "For me, it's to be connected." "£ But you brought it down... £ I'm inspired by my friends." "£ ..down to my thighs" "£ And there it is now, he enters the room" "£ It guts like a fish to see how he's grown" "£ Saw me go out onto the town to mess around" "£ Ooh, get my groove on" "£ Mess around" "£ Ooh, get my groove on" "£ Mess around... £" "Really?" "Because I can change it." "Lieberman, you're not seriously still fishing for compliments." "It's good though, isn't it?" "Yeah, it's good." "(Giggles) Don't." "Put me down." "I'd better..." "I've got rehearsals in the morning." "Yeah." "Yeah, me too." "I got a... competition, not rehearsals, obviously." "Leotard choice." "Class section." "And well, I am prepared to model these for you if it helps." "I am calling your bluff, Tickle." "Reedo." "You in?" "For Team Tara." "Ah, pass, thanks." "So, when you winP" "If I win, and it's a big if." "Are you still choosing Moscow?" "I think so." "Can you imagine?" "A whole year, living overseas." "You're going to miss me." "Didn't you sign off on a run this morning?" "It's a crucial part of my whole mental clarity routine." "Yeah, I know." "I have to go and see Tara." "Oh, well she's at the theatre." "I can give her a message." "No, it's alright." "I have to tell her something." "Don't." "What?" "Don't tell her anything." "Not today." "She's with Ben, dude!" "I know, and if she wants to be with Ben, she'll still be with Ben." "OK, forgetting the fact that you and Ben are friends, we've all lived through 'Tara, I love you'." "'No, Kat, it's you.'" "Those girls are my sisters." "I know that." "But if she wins the Prix then she could leave, and I wouldn't have told her." "You're going to do what you want." "Yeah, I am." "You don't go with my blessing." "Tara, can I have a word?" "(Mobile rings)" "Sorry, of course." "The Royal Ballet School contacted Josie's parents, who confirmed that she was in hospital, with appendicitis." "Grace Whitney auditioned for Josie's place like any other candidate." "It's just me and you." "Prix de Fonteyn, baby." "Look, I think Christian's on his way to see you but um, ignore him, OK?" "This is your day, T. Don't get distracted." "I honestly thought thatP" "You thought you would try and undermine the competition, which is not only unsportsmanlike, it's deceitful." "(Sirens wail in distance)" "Hey, have you seen Sammy?" "Boys aren't on till 11:30." "Um, could you call him and tell him that I don't want to mess with prep, but I would really like him here?" "Yeah, sure." "Thanks." "(Mobile rings)" "Lucinda Raine." "(Voices in distance)" "Ahem." "Zach." "I need to interrupt rehearsal." "(Mobile rings)" "Sorry Zach, I'll be back after lunch." "What?" "No, why?" "No, just tell me over the phone." "I want to hear it now." "Oi!" "He didn't answer." "MAN:" "Thank you, ladies." "That completes the class section." "(Applause)" "I can't believe I got through that." "(Sighs)" "What are you doing here?" "Tara, I have to tell you something." "Hey, where's Sammy?" "He's on, like now." "He was in an accident." "What?" "He was hit by a car." "Well, did..." "Did he break something?" "Is he going to be able to dance?" "No." "No, he's not." "An ambulance came and it didn't..." "Sammy died on the way to hospital." "We have to go to the hospital!" "I know it's hard, but the Liebermans have asked to be alone." "We're his family!" "(Sobs)" "Abigail." "VOICEMAIL:" "You have one new voice message." "SAMMY, ON VOICEMAIL:" "Miss Webster." "Can you believe that this momentous day has finally arrived?" "VOICEMAIL:" "Miss Webster, can you believe that this momentous day has finally arrived?" "It's just me and you." "Prix de Fonteyn, baby!" "Look, I think Christian's on his way to see you, but um, ignore him, OK?" "This is your day, T. Don't get distracted." "I was just thinking, you remember last year when we were at the bottom?" "Now here we are, conquering the world." "I'll see you out there." "Closed Captions by CSI - Clemence Duprat"
