0:00:03 > 0:00:07This week, Our School's star dancer is on the edge.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12I'm more used to doing a lot harder things than jazz hands.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16But the Year Seven dance competition is looming...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20And the teachers want him to perform.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Have you even considered doing it inside of school?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Not really, because it's not really, like, my style.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Will he change his mind?
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Find out in Our School.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34BELL RINGS
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Meet our new Year Seven.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41- Sick bucket!- It's the most important school year of their lives so far...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Haircut, sir?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45They're all starting here together.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49That level of noise is absolutely disgusting.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51THEY SCREAM
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Yes!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00This has seen better days.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04You stink, sir.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10CBBC have filled the entire place with cameras
0:01:10 > 0:01:13so you'll get to watch Year Seven every step of the way.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Stop waving at me!- Yes!
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Hello, I'm Mr Jones.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm a maths teacher here at Our School,
0:01:20 > 0:01:21and every time that you're here,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I'm going to be here too.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Right now, I'm late for a lesson.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Excuse me!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Come on in... - # Our school! #
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Boom, mic drop.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34BELL RINGS
0:01:36 > 0:01:39In Year Seven, you'll be taught many new subjects...
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Tienes animales?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Like Spanish...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Una cobaya.- STUDENTS:- Una cobaya.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Food tech... - Cory, I need a bit more!
0:01:49 > 0:01:50- That's enough!- No, it's not.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52That's not a tablespoon.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- It's fine!- And if you come to Our School, dance!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02But it's not everyone's cup of tea.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Oh, no.- Put your hands up if you know what a hand jive is.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07I'm dead.
0:02:08 > 0:02:14Miss Mills teaches dance here, and she's got big plans for Year Seven.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Right, what I need to talk to you about is something really exciting.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21We've got Strictly Come Dancing, and we're going to be in a competition
0:02:21 > 0:02:24with each other, OK?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27With partners that you want to choose.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Miss Mills wants Year Seven to compete
0:02:29 > 0:02:32in a Strictly Come Dancing-style show.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Judging what this lot have to say,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36she might have her work cut out.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Man! I can't dance.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- I hate it.- I'm terrified.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I like dancing, like, I'm not bothered about, like,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51what people think. I will just break out into a flash mob in the middle
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- of nowhere.- I don't know why we learn dance.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- It's just...- It's boring.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00When I'm in my room by myself, I'll do, like,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- weird dance moves.- Yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05But I don't think I would do that in front of everyone else!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Right, stand still and cross your legs for me.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I don't really like dancing.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'm no Billy Elliott.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15All of you are going to be put with a partner...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17When I get partnered with a boy,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19it's so embarrassing.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20You don't know what to do.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22You're like... It's like an awkward moment.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Just the tips of your fingers.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Give me your fingers.- Some girls don't like being partnered with boys
0:03:28 > 0:03:32because most think that boys have cooties or something!
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Boys don't take dance seriously.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- You two.- No...- Yes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Boys' logic - if I touch a girl's hand, like,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45"I'm going to be married to them for life! We're married for life!"
0:03:45 > 0:03:48It's not a big deal. You're touching the tips of the hand, OK?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- That's it.- I just feel so uncomfortable, like,
0:03:51 > 0:03:52dancing with other people.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Lucky for Miss Mills, there's one boy who thinks differently.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I've always liked dancing.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I've wanted to be a dancer since I was six.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Outside school, Michael is no stranger to dance.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08My favourite hobby is break dancing,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11street dancing and entering competitions.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21What I love about dancing is that I can let loose and, like,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23relax a bit and express myself.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31In my family, it's like - my mum's mum has danced, my mum danced,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34and now I'm dancing. So it's kind of like a cycle.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I get nervous at first, but after I get on stage and start dancing,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'm, like, just like so relaxed.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45See if you can make one up at the end for these guys to follow.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48That's kind of like my safe place.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Say you have, like, a stressful day at school,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53you can just, like, dance and, like, get all of the stress away.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59I really love dancing.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Back in school, dance class should be Michael's perfect place to shine.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Wait a minute... Where is he?
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Dance lessons feel a bit basic and a bit too easy.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Michael, on stage.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42- Go, go, go.- I'm more used to doing a lot harder things than, like,
0:05:42 > 0:05:43jazz hands.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Aah...- Sorry!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Girls - one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Boys!- Go! Come on, Finlay!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yeah, I don't think this is quite Michael's style...
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Tap, tap!
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- Tap, tap...- I think if it was harder, I would get to, like,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07progress more as a dancer.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12In fact, Michael's struggling to fit in, in other ways, too.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Stop it!
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Touching my hair!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21When I started Year Seven, a lot of my friends
0:06:21 > 0:06:22went to different schools,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24so it was kind of hard to make friends.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Right, quiet!- I hate this class.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30All of the girls from the group, OK, can you go and stand on this side?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33All of the boys from the group, can you go and stand on this side?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Dancing is supposed to be Michael's safe space, but not today.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- See, what did I do to this guy? - Shut up.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Miss, all I said to him... - I'm going to sort it out with him.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I promise I will sort it out at lunchtime,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46but can you just move for now?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Shut up! People in this school are really annoying,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52because you bang into someone by accident, and they will, like,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54push you or hit you.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56And they'll be like, "Do you want to fight?"
0:06:56 > 0:06:57And you're like, "No."
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And it's not just dance lessons where Michael's temper
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- gets the better of him.- Come here.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Miss Tomlinson has called him and Ibraheem over to discuss an incident
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- in English. - Do I need to sit between you?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- No.- You sure? Cos that's what it looked like out there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19OK, so you elbowed...
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- I didn't mean to. - You didn't mean to.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- I will say I'm sorry.- OK. - I said to Michael first,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27"All you ever did in the science test was talk and talk,"
0:07:27 > 0:07:29and then he said, "And you too."
0:07:29 > 0:07:32So he came to me and elbowed me.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35We're going to agree to stay away from one another for now, yeah?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And we're going to think about what we did.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40All right? Go.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Arguing with people in general, like.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43I feel bad about it after
0:07:43 > 0:07:47because I'm like... It was just stupid why I argued with them.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Making friends can be the hardest part about moving into Year Seven.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Some students are lucky to have their best friend by their side
0:07:58 > 0:08:01before starting secondary school.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Like Abdul and Javonte...
0:08:02 > 0:08:06You are the ball. You have to hit the pins.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Thank you, Javonte!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Fareed and Ibraheem...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I promise that we'll always be friends.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And then there's Chloe and Janaiya.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Right, I spoilt it because I can't be quiet.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I've got a big mouth. - Yeah, she's got a big mouth.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Our friendship's like...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Hmm, I don't know how to explain it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29PCSHE, that's what it is.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- No it isn't, actually... It's PSCH...- PCSHE, like I said.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37No, really - they're best friends.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Are you listening?- Yes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Listen, then.- I am listening!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44We're on and off. We're like a light switch.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46We're like an old married couple!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52It's not just in school that they're inseparable.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57# Ooh, you make me live now, honey. #
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- This is Janaiya.- And this is Chloe.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- We are friends.- Best friends!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Sick!- It's going to be like...
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Janaiya is sassy, funny,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15and she's got her own personality.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19It was easier last time when I did it by myself...
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- No, over this side.- No, this way!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26We've been friends for eight and a half years,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29and Janaiya was the one that first asked to be my friend.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I'm very nice like that.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Right, I'm just saying, I'm sleeping over here.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I'd describe Chloe as unique, because, like,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42she's the only person I know that's like how she is.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43She's crazy.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47# I can't feel my face when I'm with you
0:09:48 > 0:09:50# But I love it... #
0:09:50 > 0:09:52The best singer out of us two is probably Janaiya.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56# She told me don't worry About it. #
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I think the best singer is both of us.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Right, it's coming. It's coming, Janaiya.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Woo!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I'm definitely the funniest out of us two.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Ooh...
0:10:10 > 0:10:11When we're doing our make-up,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15it's important to get our eyebrows on fleek.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Janaiya, keep your eyes closed!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Stop!
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Three, two...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- One.- One.- It's right good, the eyes.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I know I am!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- BOTH:- Best mates forever!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Just a little warm up to start off with.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Back in school, it's the first rehearsal
0:10:47 > 0:10:50for Year Seven's Strictly Dance competition.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57But one person Miss Mills was hoping to join in hasn't turned up.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I didn't think it was going to be fun,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01and I thought it was just going to be boring -
0:11:01 > 0:11:04that's not kind of my forte.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06But the show must go on.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Miss Mills only has a few weeks to turn this lot into Strictly stars.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Step, step.- Back step!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Dancing is pretty sweet, because I've been dancing forever,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19and back at our primary school...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- FRENCH ACCENT: - ..I was the best dancer!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Abdul is certainly giving it his best shot,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30but not everyone is so keen.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34I can't dance.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I end up tripping over my own feet!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Underneath, underneath.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42I can't do it like that!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I can't do it that way. I can't spin left,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48cos I normally use my right hand for everything,
0:11:48 > 0:11:49and it just feels so weird.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51So you're better, like, spinning this side?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Yeah, that side. I'm not as good on that side,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55so we've got to focus on that side.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Well, spinning this side is the same as spinning this side,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59just the other direction.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Yeah, shall we try it? - Yeah. Come on.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04OK - three, two, one...
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Not that way...- Nearly. I can't.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10So you do the other direction for the second time.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- Yeah?- So let's say I was spinning this way for the first one,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16then this time I spin this way for the second one.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19So then I spin that way and you spin that way?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21We both spin in the same direction.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I was trying my best to teach her how to turn left,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26but she still couldn't get it right.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Yeah, OK. Three, two, one...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Go.- Er, I can't do it!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I can't spin that way when it's that way...
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I'd rather do maths than dance, cos I don't like maths.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Um, what's wrong with maths?
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Ooh, Miss, I don't want to do it!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43If she doesn't do it, then I'll just do it by myself.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44- OK, yeah.- As a solo.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I did feel bad about leaving Abdul, like,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I shouldn't have done that, but then I thought,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51"Well, that's what I wanted."
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- So I just gave up.- Now that I've been left without a partner,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58I'm kind of nervous because I'm more used to dancing with someone else.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Miss Ahmed wants to find out why Michael's not getting
0:13:06 > 0:13:08more involved in Year Seven.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11She knows that outside school he's a keen dancer.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Right, let's have a little bit of a chat in here...
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Could taking part in the Strictly competition be the answer?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21So, we're into our next half term, OK?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And I know that you absolutely love dancing.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Yeah.- Cos you do do dancing after school, do you not?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Yeah, I do it outside school.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Outside of school. So, have you even considered doing it
0:13:32 > 0:13:33inside of school?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Um, well, not really because it's, like, not really my style.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38The reason why...
0:13:39 > 0:13:41..I would like you to go is because, as you know,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44there's a lot of Year Sevens going.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46You've struggled to make friends, right?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Yeah.- And it would be a fantastic way of you getting to know
0:13:49 > 0:13:52some of these people, seeing a different side of people.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Cos you see everybody in the classroom and you clash
0:13:55 > 0:13:59with a few people, but what I really am concerned about
0:13:59 > 0:14:04and what I'd really like to see is you form relationships in class...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Well... - ..with other students.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07So are you going to have a think about it?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Yeah, I'll have a think about it. - Right, all right, then.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Shall we get back to our lesson? - Yes.- All right, come on, then.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20As the rest of the students go home for the day,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23one group of Year Sevens still have work to do.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Guys, I've got three weeks to do these dances with you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Miss Mills is doing her best to get everybody ready
0:14:34 > 0:14:36for the big dance competition.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40And someone might be able to help her.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Javonte... I'm doing a solo.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45After a chat with Miss Ahmed,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Michael has decided to give it a shot.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I was really excited when I saw Michael had actually come
0:14:50 > 0:14:52to my Strictly practice.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I think he's going to do absolutely brilliant on stage.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Hopefully he'll smash it!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Since he's missed rehearsals, he's left without a partner.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02But he's not the only one.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Do you want to do the Strictly competition?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Yes.- Would you like to work with Michael as a duet?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Yeah.- Yeah? OK.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Michael, what we're going to do, because we've not got a partner
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- for him...- Oh, yeah, I can work with Abdul.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- So we're dancing to Moves Like Jagger.- Yeah,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- is that OK?- Come on, Abdul.- OK. - You can do good moves, can't you?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Yeah.- I know you can. - We have the same style,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24we have the same type of dancing.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28And it is easy to work with him because we are very similar.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Yeah.- Except for our hairs.- Ha!
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Back to the audience...- Uh-huh.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Turn around.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Strike a pose...
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Any pose. And then up.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Walk...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And then when the beat drops,
0:15:45 > 0:15:46you're going to go like that, down...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Then side.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So when you get used to it, it looks like this.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54So like this?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Yeah. I'm trying to teach Abdul some moves that I've used from dance.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- You're going to go right leg.- Yeah?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Left leg... Then you're going to put that one to the side and lift that
0:16:07 > 0:16:09one up, then turn.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Yeah. And then you do a cartwheel.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12All right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Yeah, OK. Let's do it from the beginning, from that part.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Five, six, seven, eight...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24He needs to use his expressions and face more.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Excuse me?- Like, he needs to show more swagger.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I've got plenty of swagger!
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I have plenty of swagger! Plenty!
0:16:41 > 0:16:45MUSIC: Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5
0:16:56 > 0:16:58That's all we've got so far.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Strictly. And if people likes us,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08that means we've got a high chance of winning.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12so when you're doing the steps...
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It's going to look really good. You were absolutely brilliant.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- You looked brilliant, yeah?- Abdul is doing good, Abdul was awesome, too.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27With the Strictly competition back on track,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Miss Mills is taking some of the girls from class
0:17:30 > 0:17:33on a trip to learn a bit more about the art of performance.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Oh, I'm excited!
0:17:37 > 0:17:40And, she's lined up some very special teachers...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46CBBC regulars will definitely recognise this lot.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10if that's all right with you all.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, my gosh, is she doing our make-up?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15There's going to be a lot of glitter involved.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17The Icicles' make-up was amazing.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20We're going to do, like, a brown smoky eye,
0:18:20 > 0:18:25and we're going to put some glitter, like, on just your eyelid.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Amy's eyebrows were on point.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29They were, she did it, like, perfect.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I was like...
0:18:34 > 0:18:35That looks right good.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37It's like a hollow effect.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Going to start with a bit of a base.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Just under your eyes.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42I don't usually wear make-up,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45it feels quite weird on my face.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Oh, my gosh, it looks so nice!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Oh, I look so weird!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50THEY LAUGH

0:18:54 > 0:18:57I don't know if these are going to fit!
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Before they hit the rink, there is one more surprise in store.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I present to you Team Klosh from Ice Stars!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10When Kloe and Josh, when they first came on,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12they did, like, a mini routine,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14and it was really good.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Everyone was like, "Whoa, how do you do that?"- Whoa!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It was a nice surprise to see Kloe and Josh from Ice Stars
0:19:20 > 0:19:24because I didn't expect to be meeting them two!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Kloe and Josh made it look very, very easy!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Woo!
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Do you know like after, they could skate off,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37they weren't dizzy or anything.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Isn't that dangerous?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40# Dangerous! #
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Impressive, eh?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Show 'em what you're made of, girls.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I don't want to, like, break a tooth or smash a finger.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Just little steps. - I want a penguin!
0:20:01 > 0:20:02I'm doing it!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08With most of the class getting to grips with the ice,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Chloe and Janaiya have caught the attention of Team Klosh.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14So, yeah, we can show you guys a few spins.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16So this is, like, one of them Kloe spins that she can do.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20You guys ready?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm not doing that!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'll die! I'll die doing that.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- I've seen that, I've seen that many times on the TV.- Yeah.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32How does she get her leg so high?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36She showed us one where she was like leg out, like up and she was like...
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Zoom, zoom, zoom.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Mad spins.- Do you know, I described it as one of them spinning toys you
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- spin like that.- Spin tops.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Whoa! She's going even faster!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- It's impressive right?- Yeah.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Yeah, they take ages for us to learn.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53So, you guys, we could like teach you how to do a basic spin,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56so like literally just on two feet, you know, just spinning.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So, yeah, if you guys just, like, stand on two feet
0:20:59 > 0:21:01and, using your arms,
0:21:01 > 0:21:06just pull them in and just, like, spin round.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Ah!- Yeah! - Just like...just like that.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Yeah, just like that. - No, I can't do it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15So graceful, girls!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18With the trip coming to an end,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21the Icicles want to show that there is more to synchro than eyeliner and
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- sequins.- So we're going to start with our left foot,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25so push onto your left foot first, yeah?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Ready?- Yeah. The Icicles got us,
0:21:28 > 0:21:33and they showed us how to synchronise skate.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37It was right cool and it was hard because you had to be straight.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Straight.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50With some of our Year Seven students getting a chance to meet
0:21:50 > 0:21:55the Ice Stars, what do they really think about fame?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57The most famous person in the world,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I think, probably would be Gordon Ramsay.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Queen Bey, aka Beyonce.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05She slays my entire generation.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Ronaldo, the best man in the world.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I don't know about football.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Justin Beaver.- Bieber.- Bieber!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Whatever it is. He's a beaver. - Are you a Belieber?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I think I'd be famous for like doing lots of
0:22:17 > 0:22:19impossible things.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21If I was to be famous, I'd be a singer
0:22:21 > 0:22:23because I'm terrible at singing.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I am.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28The worst thing about being famous is people following you,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30taking pictures of you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32The flashing, people making videos,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34holding microphones, asking questions.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38The best thing about being famous, I will have loads and loads of money.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Right, swimming in a nice swimming pool,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43living in a big, massive mansion.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- The best thing about being famous is the ladies!- Mm-hm.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Go on to the side. So you're going to do a solo style.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58With not long till the big night...
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Can I have you all standing here, please?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04..Miss Mills has invited a special helper to today's rehearsal.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07OK! Right, guys.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11This is Chloe, OK?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15And she's come to help you, and can you guess where she's come from?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Strictly.- Yes, she's one of the professional dancers.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I've seen her on TV before,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23cos my mum watches Strictly, and she's like,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24"Wow, she's a good dancer."
0:23:24 > 0:23:25When Chloe came in,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28it was mind-blowing.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32THEY HUM STRICTLY THEME
0:23:32 > 0:23:35She came to look at your duets, to see how you're getting on, OK?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37And watch you rehearse.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Doing our dance in front of Chloe was quite scary because she was a
0:23:41 > 0:23:43professional. We weren't.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45She was up here, we were down here.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- No, I was here.- I was here.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51MUSIC: Dynamite by Taio Cruz
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Some of the kids were a little nervous about their performance,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00but I tried to give them as much enthusiasm
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and as much push as I could.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04I like this song.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I don't like dancing, like, in front of people.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12I find it awkward.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14One tip I would really love you to do, cos like I say,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I think you've got really, like, that real cool look about
0:24:17 > 0:24:19both of you when you do your moves,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22is making it a lot bigger.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25She was like, "Don't do this, do this!"
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Get bigger, bigger, bigger! Bigger!
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Draw a big circle! Big! Yes!
0:24:31 > 0:24:33"Don't roll your eyes, ROLL them!"
0:24:34 > 0:24:38One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Chloe gave us a really good advice.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Like listen to the beat, so you're...- Yeah, in time.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Keep going, don't worry, keep going!
0:24:45 > 0:24:48So next.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52The best advice?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53- To be more confident.- Exactly.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56MUSIC: Don't Let Me Down by The Chainsmokers
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Cos of the confidence she gave me, I believed I could do it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Don't panic! Don't panic, doesn't matter.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12It's good to have nerves,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14but try and channel them in the right way,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17and that's what I've tried to approach to them today.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22A last-minute no-show from Abdul has left Michael to perform solo.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25When I said yes to doing it, I wasn't really thinking straight.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28The closer the day came, the more nervous I felt.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I kind of understand how Abdul dropped out,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32cos everybody gets nervous at one point in their life.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34When it comes to the finals, I'll be there and
0:25:34 > 0:25:35I'll be rooting for him.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39MUSIC: Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5
0:25:46 > 0:25:47I thought he was brilliant.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49He brought real attitude and real coolness.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- SHE YELLS:- Yeah!
0:26:09 > 0:26:10That was amazing!
0:26:10 > 0:26:14The one tip, because I'm no break dancer, is to make sure
0:26:14 > 0:26:16that your head is coming up.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19And the thing is we can't appreciate what you're doing when
0:26:19 > 0:26:21you're confidence is here.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24With Michael's new-found confidence in school,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26he's really starting to enjoy life in Year Seven.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I'm glad that I joined Strictly.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'm really enjoying it and I like how I've met more people,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I've gained new friends, more confidence.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Oh, my God, I can do yours better cos yours is longer.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yeah, way longer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43At the start, I had a bit of clashes -
0:26:43 > 0:26:45everybody has their ups and downs -
0:26:45 > 0:26:47but I think I've, like, improved more and
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I've been really happy about it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Sorry, Michael, I'm going to embarrass you.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Please can you stand up and demonstrate
0:26:52 > 0:26:54what you've just shown me?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56If you do it well, Michael, you get an achievement point.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59One, two, three, four, five...
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Dance outside of school, it's kind of like serious place,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03but I can bring a bit of it into school.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Now it's actually kind of better than outside of school.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09So, with Michael going from strength to strength,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12how will he get on in the Strictly final?
