Felicie:
[on her first day of dance class, shyly greeting the other girls]
Hi. Hello.
[to herself; when none of the girls respond]
Felicie:
Okay. Super.
[louder]
Felicie:
I'm Felicie.
Nora:
[confused]
Felicie?
Felicie:
[realizes her mistake]
Uh, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. I'm... friendly, ever so friendly. And my name is Camille.
Nora:
Okay. I'm Nora, but everyone calls me... Nora. That's... the name that goes with MY face.
[laughs]
Nora:
Hey, you should warm up.
Felicie:
[to herself, confused]
Warm up?
[shrugs and tries to literally 'warm up' by rubbing her hands on her arms]
Dora:
[amused]
Oh my. That is crazy. I'm guessing you're new, my darling?
Felicie:
[awkwardly]
You can tell that because...?
[Before Dora can answer, Mérante enters the room. The girls quickly gather to one side of the room]
Felicie:
Who is that?
Dora:
[rolls her eyes]
You are joking, right? It's Louis Mérante, ballet master, world-famous choreographer, the man who performed the most fouettes ever in a single solo.
Felicie:
Foo-what?
Dora:
Turns. Really difficult turns.
Nora:
187 in total. And right after, he vomited!
Mérante:
Silence, mademoiselle! First position, second...
[All of the girls except Felicie go through the basic ballet positions]
Felicie:
[lost]
What?
Mérante:
Third, fourth, and rest in fifth.
