a dream of a great career doing as right now and ballet school. this is 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 voice tendon owns input that i the we find ourselves in the midst of tv, with a lot to achieve, soften. we have to make the leap from a child's 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 buttons miss. now suddenly support much heavier, but slow to uh, take on the less than with us as who owns should be able to use if we then consent ourselves with the problems of puberty and us via we'd never moss throughout profession, young and visual problem and all the shots, and the ones that are level of some of the hash and probably isn't for everyone. let this issue la issues that went on. but i don't know what you said. the teacher knows the choreography of almost all the classics by heart. but of course, from a female dancer, as perspective today, it, ina, 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

chain is causing it more little thing. and back that instant when does he have to stand behind his palm that he a voice, the other west point of balance down to the millimeter. miller at the advisor is that then did you at goes to mainstream and then do with louis police 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 the said that you're in top shape in time to the competition event in this, in your physical a, c and jewel monroe 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

me. yes, most i was, it's a lot of fun to dance and how to do with him to the bottom. it says if he's always been hand over as if he were phone here along side all my other children and it came down to our was the slow and there's nice control. okay. yeah, of course i missed my parents when i called them every day. so the china will as low as it was very difficult at 1st to you and when i 1st arrived here and i didn't understand anything, only it was a new language for me. oh, everything was new prospect. so no, no, i'm just national energy. i meant people here me place ukrainians and we've become friends. but the room 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's thing is

going on, the more of the thing that but some of the panels and that's how i've been able to adapt me. yeah. so i've been living here for more than a year. and they're like being here home. and, and especially because things here are much better than in ukraine at the moment. and i think the national i was trying to trim their, you can't do anything um, okay, and they're not even go to school. i mean, that's almost time. i've done the mutual things you know, which just as low as a learner for the age shipment, elaina ordered a 150 pairs of shoes for a ukrainian children's home delivered in error to her cousin. on this, this, this box is a pretty heavy haven't because they said they need to choose uh, the shoes online. so between cesar so we've been done by boat general. she's the oldest them publish to any a few pads of some issues. know when you get the of the

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. and for sure, i hope you just hoping that everything is well, get better here. where the dog come from me. from here here is that because we can't see with our families. so instead of farming, this is fan this. i think it helps me understand both our teaching, editing at school goals are to do that i, it's, and i for this and i, we try very hard to find work. and many of us have tried to return to ukraine. but they, it's, it's very difficult under the current circumstances. no. so that's what we have to look somehow into the future and work his work when he wasn't. but i say, oh, and gold or the bus driver is our expert packers. now

a visit from the chairman of the local german ukrainian association. hello. yes it is. yeah, trunk. 44. yeah, that's it. yes, this is for the children's home. one doesn't always have a noun. uh, and the rest is already in the so that said that was the ha dispatch repack 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 appreciate their work. you spend it just as times i'm stuck for. 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 you cream, locked in, just asked the driver i toggled, arriving today's time, the children's home, and the litzy and key clinic and p as in the name i for the old people,

so what ends on the, for the drivers they are, will send me photos and that means so we can prove that hasn't just ended up in some stone pile. the kinda thing in it, right where it's needed type for shipping. so the d like start tables to both to the customers at a time and yeah, we have to be strong and stick together. even if the twos flow we mustn't give off, [000:00:00;00] the word for commitment has spread and today 80 not as being well from the into the

minds the rotary club. i know hello. are you excited very much. of course, the incident on the field for the past has already been mentioned. you have a wonderful talk for us here in october 19th. we have this as a symbol you can wear to display your membership pin. may i present it to you. i put the sign t device on with my warm congratulations of people accepted into our clothes. are those are the generators donated for theaters in odessa and leave had been her greatest wish that one mustn't get too wrapped up in other details for a country like cream, a long history. the protection of culture is, of course,

also vitally important. visiting exhaustive, i just like 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 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 a sign to for everything sensor i know he, i to see to do in times like these can give a little bit of life and 11 cent and cannot joy. because in this situation that's the different things that thought so much. and i think that's very important right now because it's true, as i thought,

saves the weld. this is based on the law, the war in 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 and the laptop, the task flow. sorry from the beginning. yeah, i don't know kind of cool that computer this is i can back like yes. yes

. i can do that since you start to see how here you've seen this in place in dc the this is a tough to fit. yeah. and go a look at. yeah, yeah. you have to look at the from the look she to issue. you say you say, oh my god, you say easy to task 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 lot of movie and a 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. that's 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 think it's different case stuff time working in just time, which is the dense company started. since i'm seeing those, those special at we use the cost to go to 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's a little bit of resistance with his bony. like if you would try to keep his tone, to be strong at the moment, maybe because of his pay, that live is get strong. but the idea of the day, yes, to fund which seems to everything, to them with money, which i think can come with interest and a bit more time. yes. and then when it comes into the valet, how can you feel when denila isn't doing well when there's been another attack on key for instance, and the see to see if i can see and yeah, and his expression to see it and how he looked at all those the are trying to help

him. yeah. yeah. as all of us at the dance school do that. but we do. we are take a here. do we, i'm there, send up to most of you and do a here. i'm next off to be there. now. now do we serve the pre the we do we are, i'm daf file. i'm there for her. i'm not putting her here color. cool. well my big one more time is because your body. so you have to make sure that when you speak, you can add to creating that people can understand what you say. so when you do something, each finger, each part of your body is aware any feelings, and then it gets you sharing isn't just fair and destination knowing designation. so knocking i can be though and the sun. i'm not time a yeah. and no talk in the scene. yes. yes. well,

that she's basically our time with ukraine. she assign goodness he can. we can be sure that the nation, sir, arriving with the shoot was the i'm comes on. you don't want to get a to large camps was to a to use, but directly to the recipient is the next. don't one spends on that. the like food in impacts only possible with friends here in germany. you know, there we are, right, send both here and in grand c. c always can as often they will cut, you know, in just 2 days after departing 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. the retirement home and the clinic us back at eating as dan school, it's final changes to the costumes. it's only 3 days until the competition in italy,

vanilla watches videos of his favorite dancer. i'm excited about ation a call of over and over and just managed to be honest, i do have a dream of the 2 chests. maybe a dream anyhow. excellent. then we have to go to america and live there. the yeah. what's the most the newest? when would be me? my favorite dancer foundation, that costs off. she went to new york and begin working in the new york city ballet, the online we have sold young animals. i've watched them and videos on and off and imagined what it would be like to suddenly be there myself, and you weren't injured with my tail or an ice coming on my broke. yes, i'm looking at the fact that you know what, but a lot can happen and then we end is that i don't know okay, as much the thing as maintenance and getting his man. fortunately, if anything happened, but that by placing in the italian competition would bring him

a great deal closer to that dream for years now, it anus down us. thing as protege is, have been among the best. the costumes have all come from a renowned key of theater taylor a to to, for the blacks. $1.00 cost $1200.00 euros for 80. no, nothing else would do was my gosh, i get the district 0. and you have students, lena, pen, the, we'll also be traveling to the competition in this thing individually. filica watch on you. more than i bought a you know, is still not satisfied with done, the lowest cost you here again, she seeks advice from the cars like master my a face time. not the black one. maybe the blue one. stephen. so the allow me because there's no decorations for the competition. no perfect. yeah, that's what was the costume has to stand on its own course to know all the costumes were once worn by adding his husband another form or so load. the answer from

t is when you this one also doesn't fit good. then say i'm going to us, but if it's restrictive here, then when the muscles have no space to move now as when you're shipping and then he calmed lift, kind of shipping and then come out of him. know what i 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 wrote down the street. everyone has to see that you'll something special about just working cost. everyone has to with maya you, 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 the positive value trainings initial it's while it was good though. i mean you make it tighter at the bottom. it shouldn't hang loose here. so where it needs to be foam fixing

but loose or at the tone so that it doesn't pinch when he's lifting my book of with this, what? no. and you and your boost. no, i'm not afraid of going into the competition 0. i'm still going there and dancing like it'll be a great experience for me, but also the wind blowing up and i'm going to the extent that i'm not able to to mess thanks to my teacher and e mail me. how shall i say it? i guess cuz it gives me the guidance to do everything correctly. and so that all went to almost the thing you could say it that way. and yeah, i'm certain of it and 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 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 injury this year. the jury sees classical and modern pieces and knock out rounds, presented individually and in groups. 18 as 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

o will present their modern piece by stephan deluxe. the new the new are you nervous? the 2nd is feeding secure. an exchange with another ukranian dancer in exile. once more, they go over. what delightful taught them for the love seat above all. letting go, releasing their inner resistance. will it work? of the nervous 80 now has taken her seat in the box. it's a high caliber jury. ballet director's former soloist dance critics

the the class a wonderful showing. it couldn't be prouder of her students is comes out again. this might can, does, i can say that my children of the best in the for sure that true professional sites and they've shown twice on stage that they're the highest level. fagan. oh, sure, sure. then you will, they will together like one organism design one, re i navigating these ones when we outside and our new friend 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 leaving ukraine 17, that has become very important to the new law. he spent many hours in the ballet hole with her, and he wants to win with her the next day, the finals are scheduled for that evening. all laziness sees a picture asks, polite though, is this bar. she quickly organizes a few sandwiches. you

can kind of got this basically no time that they have to get something to eat some albums on they need additional extra energy to get them through the evening. so it's to come 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 don quixote to the jury.

the the most difficult aspect stage isn't flat the nuisance. we don't have to do every se, there's what we have to of trying to everything because this tilted stage is a surprise. the the incline stage provides a better view from the auditorium. but all the previously reversed jumps and turns need to be adjusted the jury arrives back stage daniella and slogan, 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 slogans. email the the,

the what that perfect enough to place? well, the detailed the assessment. let me go and the dealer and the b. c o. 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 and tell me how everything would have been fantastic. so the initial blow up, 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 of is even in training when to reach her goals faster. as

a proud of them is the thing that's important that i don't present myself here as a child. have been you the bottom, the as a mature adult answer of some folks you can go in to 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 berlin opinion of the evening is a triumph. the 13 year old wins the jury's grand prize and goes home with a 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,

17 of 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 from the one end of close, i'm happy to to with my students or so, but i just don't understand why did only the new lowe received the award? the why didn't sign seen a surprise, you want to 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 outcome? dana status dina may have taken top placing with 2 of her 3 pupils, but above and beyond that she has saved her protege, the new little monk,
