a 2nd strike can't email vincent them. we're gonna move. i was up. and by the 3rd strike, i thought the windows would be blown out of the pants. know most of the stuff is that everything would be destroyed. oh, what a shot. after that, something needed to be done. i had to act for someone else. i talked to my father about it and he called the do you know when you said yes, he can come stay with me unless, cuz i like, oh my god, on the bus. i asked them when they came here. oh yeah. i see on left homeless, we have the at the lena status thing as ballet school. everyone is on their feet today. last night, buses from ukraine, pulled into the school courtyard. tomorrow they'll set off for the war zone. everybody pictures in including eating as valet students or several weeks now the school director has been stock piling, material donations, and the seller the what's in these boxes. yeah. that's is this is not feed for children so that the 0 that's children's things in

the hills. yeah. stuff for women to man, man last gives us for the right getting us dollars do not collect the supplies to order people right to her personally, straight from the war zone. hospitals ask for medical equipment, children's homes for shoes. often it's the dancers were driving out to reach you cranes, smallest villages. it's a huge undertaking for either units helpers. vanilla takes it in his stride. us the but somebody didn't was the ticket to pick a new. yeah. it was our best as i knew it would come by. the a says it's like practice for him because he also has to lift and carry the goals and slip and it's good training. i am guessing that the some guy and then with the thing cuz it is so good coleman, he is or should i sit there? he came from such a difficult situation himself this alice on this experience to to present doesn't

too much about it. but i know he's been deeply affected, the chief because he's the one that you got to sit, but summers got his eyes on that and i can say he's young as positive, but he's doing a great job. and i, but as there for me and he works very hard at his, by a he or um brother and how he copes with the tool as a young man, that is really amazing. i mean, you're a good one. and this comes to the bus. now in a transport vehicle will be filled with as much as possible break time no rest of though for the new law and his 14 year old dance partner, logan, tina. they still have afternoon rehearsals for a dance competition in 4 weeks time. the,

the new law and exceptional talent comes from a dance dynasty. the i have a new tab that says i'm gonna get them from his and his father and i down together at the say to norma. his grandmother was a star and ukraine had done girlfriends. that this is fall the cold and asked the can you save us? because if you can't train then that set to buy whenever we had just finished putting in unless this he said, or i can only send him to you. uh i live in there, my new kansas is his own child. then the 15 year old boy, man, this is i can this king that i didn't think about it for a 2nd and said, yeah, so now how does the sick one, the good that so you should call me a stop or not. but now that i'm bob, bob, bob? yeah. young funds, they i cell phone on done. yeah. no, that's to as a, it seems to just have just said, you know, that was, it was tough, but that was

a dream of a great career doing as right now. and by the way, school it just that it's what every student is going after. the former star ballerina from kids is one of only very few teaching talented young dancers classical ballet at a world class level. the meaning of the pod to do from swan lake is a do. it usually danced only by adults. so the way the, the dual trains for 6 hours each day puberty has effectively been called off the vm within the owners input. that either way we find ourselves in the midst of pbc with a lot to achieve soften. we have to make the leap from a child's, the instruct to, to as open instruct. you lied to the system of school at 2 of i should have muscles

that we just carrying children's bones miss. now suddenly support much heavier, but slow to take on the less than with us as tunes should be able to use if we then consent ourselves with the problems of puberty investigator, we didn't have a mouse throughout profession, young official problem and all the shots and the ones that are little, some of the hash and probably isn't for everyone. let this issue, i la issues when the state and the teacher knows the choreography of almost all the classics by heart. but of course, from a female dancer as perspective today, idina is getting support on the male perspective via face time, from a cause like friend of hers. also a star dancer, he's performed swan lake hundreds of times, the

tanners, kaiser, and more little things. and back that instant when does he have to stand behind his pa, not he, a voice, the west point of balance down to the millimeter milling with eliza. and then did you at goes to macy and then uh, the fluids place. in 4 weeks time, you'll be displaying his talent in front of an international jury for the new law and slogan, tina the swan lake and don quixote, do us represent a great challenge. then we have to build you a bit by bit so that you're in top shape in time to the competition event in the annual physicality and do a morale. morales. and those have problem with you think goes to problem, but the physical aspect is what we've got to focus something does store the

a me, yes. must i was, it's a lot of fun to dance. it had to do with him. she is, you, i'm, it's as if he's always been hand over as if he were phone here along side all my other children and it came down to them. was the slow and there's no control. there's the of course i missed my parents meeting. i called them every day, so the china will as low as it was very difficult at 1st code. and when i 1st arrived here and i didn't understand anything moving, it was a new language for me. oh, everything was new stuff, so no, no, i'm just social or date. i meant people here. we place ukrainians. and we've become friends. bundle rate is going to, especially in ninana. she's ukranian herself and, and she's always there for her own people. always saying that the state,

the thing is the more than fixing that but it's, i'm just the general. so that's how i've been able to adapt to me as who i've been living here for more than a year. and they're like being here, whole annual, and especially because things here are much better than in ukraine at the moment. and i think the national i was trying to trim there. you can't do anything. um. okay, and you're not even go to school. i mean, that's almost done. i've done the mutual thing is the only time will shift as low as a learner for the age shipment, elaina ordered a $150.00 pairs of shoes for a ukrainian children's home delivered in error to her cousin. kind of told them that this, this box is a pretty heavy have them because they said they needed choose a different machine. and so between caesar is all we've got guns, i boat general, she's the oldest them. how much to any, a few pads of some issues know when your boss of

the shop and by the way, enough for this along with her appetite, she's lost a bit of weight since the outbreak of the war. she's been restless and always wants to help me. yes. yes ma'am. crammed the same side. were those also blankets? yes. the 80 now has negotiated a discount from this furniture store. goal is to know a retirement home. your vin? it's yeah, urgently needs towels. yeah. so how is that? okay, you also have trash bags. yeah, duncan, thank you. mm hm. bye. because we send this over in trash bags. notebook says the same compliment richardson asking people for help for ukraine. customer, it's become a daily task for $8900.00. thank you. thank you so much. i hope the people

liked them. thank you. you too bye. on that 9 to thank you. have a nice day. you too. thanks. the clock is ticking. departure is that for that afternoon, this well, the last year they were able to send a generator is twice from here to ukrainian theaters and leave and odessa and fire extinguishers for museums. 80 now has also brought her mother out of the war zone. the biggest baby. now people everywhere want to help ukraine because we're very grateful for that. which like even more fumes. we want for the chaos along the hor,

lawlessness. to be over as quickly as possible. we've received you eating that has also taken in the ballet master and a dancer from the key of national offer. okay. yeah, i'm for sure. i hope you just hoping that everything will get better. yes. the board that come from me from here here, then to this because we can't see with our families is the ones that are for me to expand this. i think it helps me understand both our teaching, editing that school goes or lou do is that i it's and i forget that i've been trying very hard to find work. and many of us have tried to return to ukraine for science. so it's very difficult under the current circumstances now. so hopefully we have to look somehow into the future. and the work is worth more than what i say, i told as the bus driver is our expert packers. now

a visit from the chairman of the local german ukrainian association. hello. yeah, so yeah, trunks all ready for? yeah, this is yes. this is for the children's home own doesn't always have a noun uh and the rest is already in there and that's what i said, that was the ha dispatch. we packed tool this for the old people's time. who are this time? perfect. that's great. lucas augustine has been organizing a donations since the outbreak of the war a year on a lot of persuading is needed to keep the money flowing in. he knows the bus driver as well and appreciates their work. he's spending is sometimes thoughtful. i know we receive this donation just a week ago on saturday. that's kind of this is very fresh. i'm a strong now we can see that a week later, we've already sent it off to ukraine locked in. just asked the driver i talk is will arrive in 2 days time, a children's whom infinity and key or clinic and p as in the name i for the old

people. so what enzyme different drivers they are will send the food to this. and that means that we can prove that hasn't just ended up in some stone pile. the kinda thing in it, right? we're, it's media type for shaking. it's an a d like start tables to balls to that the customer the we have to be strong and stick together. even if the too slow we must them to give us. the word for commitment has spread and today 89 as being well comes into the minds of rotary club. hello. hello. are you excited?

very much of course vincent on the field for the past has already been mentioned to you have a wonderful talk for us here on october 19th and we have this as a symbol you can wear to display your membership pin. may i present it to you? i don't want to thank you device and with my warm congratulations of being accepted into our closed the generator is donated for theaters in odessa and leave had been her greatest wish that one must be wrapped up in other details for a country like cream along history. the protection of culture is of course, also vitally important, basically,

exhaustive i dislike. i know i know lucas augustine deliberately presents images of the most recent russian attacks in order to make the needs of the people in the war zone tangible companies for cons. imagine what good those generators have done that every evening people can have a couple of hours of pay, some man on this. it's hugely significant. and so it's like, it's the same q for everything. since i know the p, i to see to this in times like these can give a little bit of life and 11 cents and cannot joy this because in this situation, that's the different things that, that's shown. and actually i think that's very important right now because it's true, it's not saves the world. this is sufficient for

the new law, the war and his home country can often feel very close. where he comes as he talks on the phone to his family and kids at the same time, he has the competition to concentrate on until now he's been lacking a modern piece to present to the jury. so far he's only ever danced classical ballet. that's why he's meeting slogan, tina today in another dance studio in mines. they're here to rehearse a short piece of love story for that, they both put aside their classical training to get the support they need from a contemporary choreographer. stuff in the laptop, the pro, sorry, from the beginning. yeah, i don't know kind of feel like a p o this is i can back like this. i can

do that since you start to see how hear you feel if in 15 days to be the this is i'd have to fit. yeah. and go a look at yeah, yeah. you have to look at the premier, look she tissue. you say you say, oh my god, you say is it to death now look what they do. look like they do. come with me. photo me come here into my word. soft and see cos. who up a go move, move your ne soft story. so yeah, i see, i'm not a false. false is to pete. we don't need to false. false. it's, well, i don't want to dance. we spoke. because i know you can go to stupid stuff. your dentist suggested because you want to touch the sort of the people or she does because you want to reach emotion. you want to express where you are. you want to

express your story. you want to say i love to dance because you want to share with the news is 1st i'm working with me and i things different is 1st time working in just time, which is the dance company started this. i'm seeing most of the special we use the country code base, but to us moving to more than the way result of trees through out of all positions . and then when i worked with denny, i see that there is a little bit of resistance with the pony. like if you're trying to keep strong, to be strong at the moment, maybe because i've just pray that 5 is good, strong, but down the day, yes. to find a way to be instead of contingent with mind, which i think can come with interesting you a bit more time. yes. and then when he comes into the valet, how can you feel when the new low as i'm doing well, when there's been another attack on key for instance, you see to see if i can have the energy. yeah. and his expression. see it on how he looked at all those video try and help him. yeah. yeah. as all of us at the

dance school do that. but we do. we take the here. do we on the send up to by yourself. yeah. and do a here. i'm next off between the no, no the we stuff the pre the we do we are. i'm daf file. i'm there for. i'm not putting here here. color. cool. well, i'm on. thank you. one more time you speak to your body, so you have to make sure that when you speak, you can articulating that people can understand what you say. so when you do some see each finger, it's part of your body is aware and spinning and is that it gets you sharing isn't fair. in addition, ition knowing testing nicer. so knocking gotta be though the sun. i'm not time a yeah. and now in the scene, yes, yes. well i see a lot of feed per hub. yes. good. continued a got,

you know, pace what you see, what you see, what you see and you have the yeah. i want, i want what you want. thing like funny. you want to die. so now you do this, you see the family, i won't, i won't, i won't all of it. interesting your eyes. what to see if you do this next then. so if you want to in the 1st price. so you want to show the technique, the way you move the way you pop now and we wow, your best limits. it's a lot of fun, us, as of great working with a lot to the set. and it's also a lot of fun with w locksmith dining like this pitch fast. it's not as stressful is kind of so fish crest. why is it just nice to desmond? so thompson was the 20th. no, no stress. all good. all for.

meanwhile, at the home of ukrainian honorary console. lucas augustine is updating hands. you have the thoughts on the shipment. you have a know, i mean my neighbors will see the box. i've never seen so many adult people crying in my life. i have to confess and be on is, was standing near the bus. i really feel it in my heart and the ceiling with misery . that's done. seed the injured phillips dimensions. and you know, as in touch as you, on a human level finishing hips good day. and said, is this feed a land? that's one of mine being what divisions are doing this and the best i know for me. i know that it's simply helping hand. but let me start showing this is i thought neighborly loves. next neighbor, all aid relief is scrupulously registered in ukraine. the gratitude for lucas, a listing ending us down us team as commitment to helping immense a certificate of things from the loved the national opera. as he is inconceivable,

she's basically our time with ukraine. she assign goodness he can, we can be sure that the nation, sir, are riding with the shoot. uh was the, comes on. we don't want to get a to large caps was to, to use, but directly to the recipient. 6 to one spends on a p, like food in impact, only possible with friends here in germany where there we are, right. send both here and, and great. see, she always can as often they will cut, you know, in just 2 days after the party from eating as dan school comes news from the bus drivers with photos and videos, they document the successful delivery to a children's home in minutes. yeah. retirement home and the clinic back editing this dance school. it's final changes to the costumes. it's only 3 days until the competition in italy. then the low watches videos of his favorite

dancer, me fired about ation and called over and over. just managed to be honest. i do have a dream of the 2 chests. maybe a dream many have excellent day and we have a good one. erica, and lived there the yeah. what's plus the newest? when would be me? my favorite dancer bodies, nicole. so if she went to new york and begin working in the new york city ballet, the online we have so, and you know, both of them have watched the videos on and off and imagine what it would be like to suddenly be there myself in your video with my tail or and my stuff on my broken . yes, i'm good with the catch, you know what, but a lot going to happen and can we is that i don't know, can i as much the thing is minutes, i'm getting his man unfortunately ending up know by placing in the italian competition would bring him a great deal closer to that dream. for years now in a start

a steam as proteges have been among the best. the costumes have all come from a renowned key of theater taylor. for a $22.00 for the blacks. one costs 1200 euros for 80. no, nothing else we'll do. where's my gosh. okay, so with this particular scenario, if you have students lean opinions will also be traveling to the competition in this thing individually. filica what that was on the morning, i bought a lena is still not satisfied with down the lowest cost you here again, she seeks advice from the cars like master, by a face time. not the black one. maybe the blue one isn't. so the only because there's no decoration for the competition. well, perfect. yeah, that's what was the costume has to stand on it. so cost to know all the costumes were once worn by 80 and his husband, another former solo dancer from kids who knew this one also doesn't fit to the

advantage haven't been to us. but if it's restrictive here, then when the muscles have no space to move and the other one is shipping and then he can't lift, tuck on the shipping and then come out of him. and what was, what was that? a lot of them in my head because i teacher always said that a valet is something specialist. i was just when you walk down the street, everyone has to see that you'll something special from that just working cost. everyone has to, with my a, you know, how beautiful we don't know why, but that's how it sees a fitness of, of different how you move, how you will. that is how you turn your head, how you love to have you. um, so what kind of voice you have has the amanda says i would if that is positive valet trainings controlled. so while it was, even though new, can you make it tied to at the bottom? it shouldn't hang loose here. so where it needs to be phone fixing,

but loose through at the tone so that it doesn't pinch when he's lifting my book up with this one now. and you and your brothers? no, i'm not afraid of going into the competition. 0. i'm so going there and dancing like it'll be a great experience for me because the wind blowing up and i'm going to the water. and that's thanks to my teacher and you, you know, and how shall i say it? i guess cuz it gives me the guidance to do everything correctly. and so that all went well, that's almost the thing you could say it that way. and yeah, i'm certain of it actually physically. i'm fully convinced. oh, we're here to wait and late though italy for one week, the engine town is transformed into a bustling center for dance. as he now has travelled here with lena 17 mount and

the new law. all 3 have already made it through the preliminary around the young talents from around the globe compete and split to us theater. ukraine has a number of talented performers in the competition. russia, on the other hand, hasn't submitted a single entry this year. the jury sees classical and modern pieces and knock out rounds presented individually and in groups. giddiness 3 pupils are about to have their turns every few minutes talented dancers from all over the world or display in the results of their years of practice. for the semi final, the new law and 17 now will present their modern piece by stephan deluxe. the new,

the new know are you nervous? the lawyer sent me is feeding secure. an exchange with another ukranian dancer and anxiety of the once more. they go over what the lot for taught them for the love seat above all, letting go, releasing their inner resistance. will it work? the a nervous 80 now has taken her seat in the box. it's a high caliber jury. ballet director's former soloists. dance critics, the,

the, the class a wonderful showing it in a couldn't be prouder of her students. is kind of that guns. that's my nickname does. i can say that my children of the best in the world for sure that true professional sites and they've shown twice on stage that they're at the highest level. fagan. oh, sure, sure. then you will. they will together like one organism design $13.00. i know, and then these ones one we have taken out and without performance will show how will win in every aspect. and i live,

but i should for her. it was also a trial for ukrainian culture. nothing now stands in the way of her 3 proteges reaching the final since leading ukraine loving tina has become very important to the new law. he spent many hours in the ballet hall with her and he wants to win with her the next day, the finals are scheduled for that evening. all evening sees a picture asks bullet though, is this bar. she quickly organizes a few sandwiches. kind of practice basically no time,

but they have to get something to eat some albums on they need additional extra energy to get them through the evening. so that's to come out today now it's quickly into the theater to rehearse for the final flow in tina and a new lot will present the power to do from donkey hardy to the during the,

the most difficult last to the stage isn't flat the nuisance. we don't have to do every say, here's what we have to have trying to everything because this tilted stages, the surprise, the, the incline stage provides a better review from the auditorium. but all the previously reversed jumps and turns need to be adjusted. the, the jury arrives back stage daniela and sloan and tina run through don quixote in their minds over and over again. the 1st payment of dances the and does so flawlessly,

the ukrainian pad on the back now it's make or break for the new law. and so on and team the of the

was that perfect enough to place? well, the, each of the salesman dealers and the deal that was actually good, but you got distracted by the music. i told you that the phone don't listen to my attention to the choreography, if you would follow jerome tenant how everything would have been fantastic. so the one you left she did, she was satisfied, but there was some criticism in there's always critique invalid because nothing is ever perfect in bella and to come up with critique, but needs a lot for the next time, the best service, even in training months to reach her goals faster as

a proud of them is the fact that it's important that i don't present myself here as a child in the bottom as a mature adult to answer the phone. so if she can go in to the, the, the for the children and young adults now comes a trial of their patients. already fully costume for the gala afterwards. they wait an attorney for the results. it has been an exhausting week at the peak of their performance. the

for lena, pain of the evening, is a triumph the 13 year old. when's the jury's grand prize and goes home with the scholarship for the valet academy in rome. the new law also receives the coveted prize for his performance and the due ad but there is no prize for his partner in tina the brutal reality of the battle to be the best in the world. adena is shocked and

has to console the new law despite his victory. the from the one hand is close. i'm happy to to with my students there so that i just don't understand why did only the new lowe received the award? the why didn't sign seen a surprise see, what was the bus, he still has worked to do 2 years younger is khaleta, the work raft is a little less stressful. is there things you pick up precisely from a competition like this, with outcomes? 80 and a status thing a may have taken top, placing with 2 of her 3 pupils. but above and beyond that she has saved her protege . the new lamont cove from the horrors of war.
