308. Leap!



This movie was about an orphan girl who turned into a ballerina.  Her name was Felicie.  She wanted to dance.  She and her friend, Victor, also wanted to escape from their orphanage.  Finally, they managed to escape and went to Paris.  There, both of them were separated.  Victor accidentally fell into a ship, and the ship took off into the sea.  Felicie wandered in the streets of Paris, and at last, she came to the Opera, a very big school of ballet dance.  Only girls who got the letter from the Opera and allowed to study dance there.  Felicie meets Odette, the servant of a rich lady, Mrs. Le Haut.  Odette was a dancer at first, but suddenly, while dancing, there was a fire onstage and it damaged one of her legs.  So, now she was the servant.

The daughter of Mrs. Le Haut, Camille, was a very arrogant girl, who always insulted Felicie.  She also told Felicie that she was going to get the letter from the Opera soon.  So, when the letter came, Felicie took it, and she went to the Opera, telling everyone that she was Camille and studied dance there.  She was full of energy.  Instead of dancing ballet, she was doing some other kind of very energetic dance.  The dance master told that out of the ten girls in the class, each one will be eliminated and the girl who is not eliminated till the end, gets to dance as Clara in the Nutcracker, a very famous ballet dance.  But soon, Camille finds out that Felicie took her letter and so she and her mother went to complain. 

But the dance master told that both Felicie and Camille and allowed to dance.  At the last, both of them were the only ones who were not eliminated.  When Camille again insulted Felicie, both of them started a dance fight, and each of them danced her best.  The last step, which had the big leaping step, was very difficult.  Felicie did it bravely and she got the part in the Nutcracker.


But, Camille’s mother became very angry and wanted to beat up Felicie.  She climbed the top of a tower, with Mrs. Le Haut following her.  But, she had come to the end and she was about to fall down.  Her leg slipped too.  But Victor, who invents flying machines, comes out of nowhere and rescues Felicie.  In the end, Felicie plays the part of Clara perfectly well.  This was a very nice movie and I liked it.
