Armando's not even here yet.
- It's Mr. Castillo.
And warm-up starts before class,
so she's right.
Three seconds late is late.
There are rules at the Paris Opera Ballet School,
Miss Parker-Jones, rules that must be followed.
You show up on time to my class,
you're already 15 minutes late.

Many moons ago,
there was a Wizen that changed everything.
She was in love...
with a Mystic.

It's their magic
that draws you in.
She revealed all her Wizen magic
and shared all the Wizen secrets,
and in return,
he betrayed her.
AMY: [gasps] - He drained her magic.

- Historically, ballet has been for the elite.
It's expensive to go to the ballet,
and it's expensive to study ballet.
It's time we brought ballet outside the box

of making ballet more accessible,
