-My name is Josephine and I'm ten years old.
-My name is Eva and I'm ten years old, too.
-As a dancer, it requires a lot of hard work.
-It also requires responsibility and concentration.
-We both study dance at the New York Theatre Ballet School.
-I started dancing when I was five years old.
-And I started dancing when I was four years old.
-We both practice at home about 20 minutes a day and we have two one hour and a half classes each week.
-When preparing for a performance, we usually rehearse on weekends.
-We both love to dance ballet.
-I aspire to learn how to dance en pointe, one day.
-And I hope to learn modern dance, one day.
Our choreographer for the show is Julian Donahue and the composer for the music for the show is Johann Strauss Sr. -Now, we will show you a short excerpt from our upcoming dance.
[ Upbeat classical music plays ] ♪♪ Now, we thought it might be fun to teach you five positions of the arms.
-This is first position, second position, third position, and there's two fourths -- middle fourth and high fourth, and there's three fifths -- high fifth, middle fifth, and low fifth.
-Now, let's do it with marching and call out the names as loud as you can.
-Make sure you are straight and tall and remember to have high knees while marching.
And... -[Both] First, first, first, first, second, second, second, second, third, third, third, third, fourth, fourth, fourth, fourth, fourth, fourth, fourth, fourth, fifth, fifth, fifth, fifth.
fifth, fifth, fifth, fifth, fifth, fifth, fifth, and fifth!
We hope you learned a lot about ballet today.
-[Both] Bye!
