once upon a time
far away to the north there lay a
kingdom known for having the best
dancers
festivals and royal balls were held
almost every day
since the people loved to dance the
queen and king themselves were the
finest dancers there
but what would you say if you knew that
the princess
of this very kingdom couldn't dance at
all
one two three one two three no no no
twilight that is not how you bow
[Music]
it isn't
everything all right oh is that
a new type of dance step your anus
i have taught princess dwyler everything
i can
but it's difficult for her to follow
[Music]
the queen glanced at her tired daughter
and dismissed the tudor
[Music]
twila it's no use mother
no matter how hard i try it doesn't work
even the 305th
tutor just told you that my dear
you're still young and have time to
learn
don't let this get you down look the two
princesses from the south have come to
meet you
what oh i don't want to meet them
now you mustn't be like that towards our
guests so
the two princesses were let into twyla's
room
she greeted them politely but wasn't
fond of them at all
the two girls danced very well and so
would taunt sweet twila mercilessly
twyla have you learned to dance without
tripping over your
feet yet i can dance all right now
i've been practicing hard these days
is that for the ball at prince adrian's
kingdom
oh how i'd love to dance with him
he's known to be the best dancer ever
you will be attending
right twyla
no i had nearly forgotten about that
oh yeah i will
but who will she down swab
and hill will dance with her
definitely not adrian
definitely not adrian
poor twyla felt very bad her parents had
got her the best tutors around
but none of them with all their rules
and uptight postures
could teach her the right way to move
her feet
on the night before the ball twyla was
nervously practicing on her own
oh this isn't right if only this was as
simple as maths
like one step plus two twirls equals
a bell or maybe it's two no
three steps plus a bend equals a
twirl that seems kinda right
[Music]
all right let's see if this works
when she reached the ball she was
mesmerized by all the women and men
gliding gracefully across the ballroom
ah i'm a princess who loves to dance
but can't she soon spotted her two
friends
sulking in a corner she found out that
prince adrian
wasn't coming to the ball i'm sure the
other princess here can dance well too
who cares about them lila shook her head
at the obstinate pair
and turned around to admire the dancers
after some time a prince came up and
asked for a dance
much to her horror i i
i don't but before she could respond
he waltzed her away okay don't panic
i'll just do the math one step
plus two twirls oh no it was just one
three steps and a bow no
[Music]
the people around soon started laughing
at her antics
uh i'd better find another princess to
dance with wyla was now
entirely embarrassed she ran out of the
ball
and all the way back to her palace the
king and queen
tried their best to speak to her but she
was much too sad to listen to anyone
the next day twyla snuck out of the
palace and started to walk
without any clue as to where she was
going
how will i ever learn to dance
while walking around she came to a small
bubbling brook
and sat there annoyed
[Music]
i just want to dance
[Music]
whoa
who are you i'm adrian prince of the
eastern kingdom
who are you i'm twyla
princess of the northern kingdom you're
the prince that dances the best
aren't you my fans
follow me everywhere
i am not your fan
adrian was amused and asked her why she
had screamed so loudly
after much hesitation she told him all
about her feet
that refused to dance she was grateful
that he didn't laugh at her
show me how you dance what
i just told you i can't but adrian was
persistent
and finally she got up
[Music]
let's see two steps plus one twirl
equals um one bow
she had hardly finished when the prince
burst out
laughing at her laugh all you want
but this is the only way i know
dance isn't a maths test it's something
you
feel when you let your soul laugh your
feet will laugh too
and that's called dancing
twila was baffled however she saw that
when speaking about
dancing his eyes danced too
quite unlike the tutors that had taught
her
well let's teach you how to first
feel a beat madame brooke can you hear
me
suddenly out of the brook rose a
majestic woman
completely made of water
adrian explained everything to madame
brooke
who i twyla with pleasure
hi there adrian whoa and who's this
i i'm twyla now
let's try feeling that bead eh
so you want a beat do you how about
this
[Music]
it's all right just have fun
[Music]
that's right you're getting it now that
you've learned to
feel a beat let's teach you the twirling
part
oh mr wind
[Music]
oh what a phew
you've got some nice beats playing over
here adrian
we're teaching twilo over here how to
dance
mind helping a sure thing
come on girl let's teach you how to
twirl
hmm you're too stiff on those toes
come on be free just loosen up yourself
completely oh
[Music]
do she
dances really well
[Music]
but you still need to move a little more
let's take you to the seashore i think
that'll help
you better so they waved goodbye to
madame brook
and flew to the seashore you're really
good at dancing you know
it's just that you never really found
the right teacher
until today i'm glad i found you
i really felt terrible since i couldn't
dance and
everyone else could she told him
how miserable she had been when all her
friends had taunted her so badly
you don't have to feel bad they may be
great dancers but
they are not as sweet as you wow
how flattering
they soon reach the shore and hop down
and now let's call lady lana
i'll call her lana yoo-hoo
it's lady lana no
we've been friends for decades
decades and he still doesn't have
respect
oh hey lana
what do you want we're teaching little
twirly here
uh it's twyla yeah
twilight here how to dance um
uh well um i guess adrian should do the
explaining
the sea spirit listened patiently to
adrian
and finally spoke to twyla
show me what you've learned
mr wind mouthed the beats while twyla
hopped from one foot
to the other
[Music]
oh oh do you wait what
you need to be agile as agile as the
waves that
sweep the sands learn to avoid the waves
twyla hopped and twirled around to the
beach
while trying to dodge every little wave
that came her way
she soon started to dance in the most
beautiful manner
that's it twyla you're dancing
but twyla was enjoying herself so much
that she couldn't hear him at all
finally the beat stopped and with it
twyla ceased to dance
panting glowing and her eyes
shining
i can dance i can finally dance
then we must show the world how well you
do it
tomorrow at a ball at my kingdom
oh but don't worry
i'll be with you wait
take this for yourself it is a gift for
dancing so
beautifully thank you i will cherish
this
always the wind carried twyla and adrian
back to their own respective kingdoms
and the night after that twilight danced
and danced with adrian
to all the songs that were played the
people were shocked as they had never
seen such a beautiful dancer before
is that really twyla
and she's dancing with adrian
adrian and twyla were known to be the
best dancers between
all the kingdoms and soon a year later
they married each other and lived a very
happy
life twyla had learned that dancing
didn't make her a better person
it was just learning to love herself and
to love
what she did
