One Last Dance

At 14, 15 years old, I made a wonderful discovery.

I discovered that what was locked inside me was infinite,

that I could go down, down, into the depths of my soul,

and keep finding, and finding, and finding!

And that, deep down, everyone was like me,

that the potential, the capabilities

the greatness that each of us possesses as human beings,

they are absolutely unthinkable, unimaginable.

And I tried to convey this with my dance.

Do you see how he's staring at me?!

This is a first! Concentrate, or you'll have something to worry about!

Ok.

- Jerry, can you talk to Alex? - He's driving us crazy!

I'll try to get him to say something to you in the break. Good job.

Thanks, Jerry.

Alex, you should talk to the guys before act two.

Alex?

Alex!

- Call an ambulance! Alex! - What happens? - Call 911!

- Turn off the lights! - Alex!

- Is closed. - Something must have happened.

We'll have a gala evening, a world premiere for Alex.

- There's no more money. - We had invested everything in the project!

The show will guarantee the future of the company!

- What is happening? - “Without a Word“. We want to do it. - For Alex.

- On this occasion, we can introduce the new artistic director. - Who?

I have already spoken with Carlos Chason, I consider him the first on the list.

How can we do it? We don't know the show.

But some do. And that's why we need them.

Seven years, Jerry! What happens if they are out of training, or have gained weight?

They might as well... have no intention of doing so.

We just have to find them.

Chrissa, no... Come on, come on!

Ninth! Please help me!

No! Please help me!

You'll be here tomorrow. If you're not here, don't ever show up again.

You're a big son of a bitch!

- Thank you very much. - Not at all. - Until we meet again. - Come back whenever you want.

Excuse me, I'm looking for Chrissa Lindh. She is quiet, reserved.

I ask you for maximum silence, Santori will perform blindfolded!

A double scotch.

Chrissa...

- Good boy! - Well!

“Withoua Word“ is a great opportunity for us, we have to do it!

It was probably the worst time of my entire life.

Why should I go back there? But, above all, why do you want to go back?

I no longer have a job.

I think from that day on, the three of us slowly started to die.

- Let's do it, and we'll start living again! - Now I have to go back on stage.

Look this! Then you can tell me we shouldn't do this!

Stop here!

Excuse me, are you really out of order?

Hate...

Send it back to him and have him do it again, okay?!

Travis! Don't you have class now? Come on, hurry up!

Little girls, be quiet.

I can't believe you're here!

- You look gorgeous, as always! - Hello, Myriam. - HI.

- Can you check that the catering is in place? - Certain.

Because I want our Travis all to myself!

- So, how's your leg? - Very good. - Magnificent.

- You don't know what hell I've been through! - Travis, you are here to stay!

“Withoua Word” was supposed to be your show, you know it well.

You were about to put the world of dance at your feet by showing off your skills.

- I haven't forgotten. - Jerry...

Now I'm going to flatter the members of the management. See you in studio A.

- You are absolutely amazing! - Thank you.

Sorry, you can't come in now.

They're good, right?

Thank you for everything, Mr. Delgado. Miss Lindh.

It's an honor for the company.

They are so young! I hate them.

- I really like you guys. - Travis!

- How are you, beauty? - What a joy to see you!

You haven't changed at all!

- You're gorgeous too! Congratulations! - We will see each other later.

To the whole company!

Naturally, we will continue with the shows on the bill.

But in a few weeks we will present what it could be

the most important show ever performed by the company,

a gala evening in honor of its brilliant and beloved creator,

Alex McGrath.

- In the gala program... - Excuse me, you can't smoke.

We will have the pleasure of presenting the long-awaited world premiere

di “Withoua Word“!

We are happy to have some members of the original company with us.

Chrissa Lindh! Max Delgado!

And... surprise! Travis MacPhearson!

If we remember who has always been the true star of the company, Alex,

we will be able to stage the most extraordinary production ever!

Thank you!

Check out tonight's program . We still have a lot of work.

- Do you have a place to stay? - A friend lent me his loft.

I know you've opened some gyms.

I have three fitness centers in Virginia, they are doing well.

But it's exciting to be back here.

There's work for you. Meet the talented Chrissa Lindh!

- HI. - Later.

- Hey... it's been a long time. - Yes, it's over!

- And you? What have you done? - You know me well, I've done everything and nothing.

I think this is the photo we needed. Come closer. A nice smile.

Another one! Well! There is someone who is dying to meet you.

- I will be right back. - Mr. Delgado!

I just wanted to tell her that it was with her that I discovered my vocation.

I saw her dance when I was a child. That's when I decided.

- Thank you! - You're kind. You come.

Oh, you're here! Do you know if Chrissa is gone yet?

- He said he had to go somewhere. - Certain.

You think it's crazy, don't you?

And turn... turn...

Travis, Chrissa, you are doing a great job.

And... yes... like that...

- Good morning. - I didn't imagine I'd return, but I'm lucky.

- Alex never believed that at the age of 20 the decline began. - Already.

Hello lads. Here we are.

We will have to work hard to put the show back together. And then it seemed tough to us.

Nothing is impossible. You are in great shape.

- I thank you. - Do I look fat to you?

No, I don't find you bad, all things considered.

Take a stand. This morning we will start with the usual warm-up.

- On the other side! - Five, six, seven, eight!

I don't know how much longer I'll be able to do this!

If you can't, forget it.

Now breathe. Try to relax. Concentrate.

Quicker!

What is this sort of L you're trying to make?

If you're not up to it, you'd better not do it.

- Shut up! - Listen to me. - Enough!

- Jump! So good! Continues! - I can not handle it anymore!

I don't care if it hurts!

Did I get it right? Are you someone who gives up easily?

- Chrissa, turn left. - What?

- Yes, turn around. - Travis, come through. - If I get out of here... Easy.

- What's up? - Wait! - Chrissa, what are you doing?

They are not a toast filling. One of you has to move.

- I think it's your turn. - Max, move... - Where?

- Closer to... All right, Travis. - This step is not easy.

Hey! You're the rubber man!

You did it! Well, I think it's best to try it again.

- Be quiet if you don't want to stay here. - Understood? - Wow!

Concentration. You wouldn't act like this if Alex was still around, right?

- Surely not! - But we are here, he is not.

Watch out!

Ops.

- Chrissa, Bree's over there for you. - Who ordered cheese?

- Who is Bree? - Ah... well, it's...

- Mom! - What are you doing?

- I don't want to go in there! - This way!

One and... go, go, go, go! Come on!

- Oh sorry. - It does not matter. - Come on!

OMG! Do you remember that time we prepared “Tarantella Seaside“?

I did this pirouette wearing a three meter cloak

that twisted around my head!

- And your wig came off! - No, the head!

And in Paris, when my shoulder pads broke in the grand finale?

And when did we hold that gorgeous position for the photographer?

That movement was beautiful, you walked around in piqué

and you stopped... you stopped...

- Ok... shall we try again? - And the socket assistant?

- There's no need, we've done these tricks a million times! - No!

Please, let's just do it! For once, please!

I demand an assistant!

Let's find an assistant.

- Daryl, could you come? - What's up? She apologizes. - Go ahead.

Put down the bag. You just have to stay there. Ok, now let's go. Force.

Wait a second, what do you have to do?

Right. She runs, then up, rotates, goes down, down, rotates, turns.

- No! - You just have to follow us.

How can he get me? He doesn't know the choreography!

There will be no need! Don't worry, do it without thinking! Please!

- Where are you going? - I've had enough. - Where are you going?!

I don't want to take unnecessary risks

and let you break every bone in me with those stupid turns!

But damn... It's our choreography!

It's your selfishness! And in the face of selfishness I give up!

This is beautiful, truly beautiful!

We're trying a pas de deux here, is that clear?!

HI. Why don't we start all over again?

- Agree. I believe it can be done. - Optimal.

Look at that man.

- Is good. - Orff. - What? What do you say?

Auel violinist plays Carl Orff. The piece is titled “Intruitin”.

Ah here. I thought you were barking like a dog.

In fact, it's not bad at all.

- It all seems crazy to me. - I think I can figure it out.

And I think... she 's a little crazy too, don't you think?

- I have to go, I have to cross the street. We will see each other. - We will see each other.

Would Travis like us to study here?

- Is that my mother over there? - Shut up, Max.

Maybe this wasn't a good idea.

Hey! Welcome! What an honor to have you in my class!

Ladies, we have some exceptional dancers with us today.

Travis, you too! What happened? You suddenly disappeared.

I only had it...

- But you're fine? - Yes. - All right, you're here. Is magnificent.

You'll find that you didn't need all those muscles to think.

Good, sir. Madame!

And... one, and... two.

And... demi, and... come on. And again demi, and... come on.

Statement, uno e... due.
