0:00:02 > 0:00:06Many people dream of fame, success and life in the spotlight,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09but few realise it takes years of hard work.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12- Motivation, commitment, let's do it! - It's got to be sharp, guys!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18We're going behind the scenes of one of the most famous
0:00:18 > 0:00:20stage schools in Britain...
0:00:20 > 0:00:22where pupils learn to cope with rivalry,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25sacrifice and rejection every day.
0:00:27 > 0:00:32Russell Brand, Pixie Lott and Leona Lewis all studied here...
0:00:32 > 0:00:35but this series is about the talent of tomorrow.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40This is the School For Stars.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Coming up...
0:00:45 > 0:00:49the pressure's on Danielle and Mitch as they compete for their dream job.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52We're only doing it once, make the best one first time.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Ella and Jordan face a rough ride when dancing with senior students.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00It's nerve-wracking. You don't want to get in the way or get shoved over!
0:01:00 > 0:01:04And Layton's acting skills are put to the test.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I usually get called "the dancer". I am out of my comfort zone.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16The Italia Conti Academy Of Theatre Arts trains young people
0:01:16 > 0:01:18for careers in performing arts.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26And Year 11 Layton is already on his way to becoming a star.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Layton, come on, push it on a bit.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33One of the school's best dancers, Layton's already starred
0:01:33 > 0:01:36in the West End musicals, Billy Elliott and Thriller.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Hello!
0:01:37 > 0:01:41But Layton hasn't landed a big role for almost three years.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Your name's only been on the board two minutes.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I know, I just got informed...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48A few weeks ago, he auditioned for a part in a TV drama.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52He's come to the school's talent agency to see if he's got it.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Kerry Maley...- Yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57..would like to offer you the part of Russell in Postcode.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Oh, wow!- All right?- Yes!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Congratulations! - Thank you very much.- All right?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- I'm very happy.- Of course you are.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Layton's landed a major role in a TV show, but not as a dancer.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10It's an acting job.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I just got offered a part in a three-part drama for CBBC.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19It's a lead role. I had my audition last week and I just found out.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I'm pretty... Look at this, I'm thrilled.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I've not done anything for a while now, so...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27It's a lead role, which I'm very happy about,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29and it will just give me something to work towards.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33This school teaches pupils to be a triple threat,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36which means they have to sing, dance and act equally.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37But since he's mainly a dancer,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40come shoot day, the pressure will be on Layton.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45# There'll be trouble when the kids come out
0:02:45 > 0:02:48# There will be lots for them to talk about. #
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Two more students hoping to land big roles
0:02:54 > 0:02:57are dancer Mitch and singer Danielle.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Last week, they auditioned against all their friends for a dream job,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- performing on a cruise ship. - All of you...recalled.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09They impressed the judges so much, they were put through
0:03:09 > 0:03:12to a second round of auditions, which start today.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17This time, Mitch and Danielle are up against professional performers
0:03:17 > 0:03:19from all over the country -
0:03:19 > 0:03:23all desperate to land that dream job sailing around the world.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31It's weird going into a room and everyone's up against each other.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35It's quite intense. Everyone's working out who everyone is.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Mitch has always suffered from nerves in auditions...
0:03:39 > 0:03:43When I started doing auditions, I was shaking before I went in.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44And today is no different.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47No-one kind of really talks to each other that much,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49like, just before you go in.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51All right, guys, we'll take you up.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Mitch is called up to the audition room.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57After a quick practice to learn the routine...
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Remember why you're here... - ..it's showtime.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04We're seeing this once, so you've got one crack at the whip for it,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07so let's get it right first time. Right, let's go for it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12He has just one chance to impress the judges. Can he hold his nerve?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14One, two, three, four...
0:04:14 > 0:04:19MUSIC: "Americano" by Lady GaGa
0:04:32 > 0:04:36It's over, but Mitch feels his nerves got the better of him.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38It wasn't great. I blanked out halfway through.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I was like, "I don't know what comes next."
0:04:41 > 0:04:45He just has to hope the casting agents didn't notice.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50And now, it's onto the singers' audition
0:04:50 > 0:04:53and Danielle's turn to face the casting agents.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Heya!- Hiya, all right? - Yeah, good thank you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- How Many Tears?- Yes, please.
0:05:00 > 0:05:08# How many tears through the years can I cry?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12# How many tears
0:05:12 > 0:05:16# Until my heart runs dry?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20# So many...
0:05:20 > 0:05:27# Tears. #
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Lovely, thank you, Danielle.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- If you just want to wait outside. - That's fine, thanks very much.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It's an emotional performance and Danielle's happy
0:05:39 > 0:05:43she's done her best, but she's about to get a surprise.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46The casting agents now want to see
0:05:46 > 0:05:49if the singing auditionees can also dance.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52It's something Danielle wasn't expecting and isn't prepared for.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56What did I think?! I don't even have any dance shoes on me.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Oh, I've got a t-shirt. What else have I got?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Rummage. Baggy trousers.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Grabbing the few clothes she has suitable to dance in, she needs
0:06:06 > 0:06:12to get changed, and quickly, because upstairs the audition is starting.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Guys, well done for getting through to the dance section.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21We're not looking for dancers, we're looking for singers that can dance.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Danielle's made it, just.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28As she doesn't have all her dance kit, she has to dance barefoot.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Places, everybody. Be happy, have fun! Come on!
0:06:33 > 0:06:38DANCE MUSIC
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Today's audition is over, but will Danielle and Mitch
0:06:50 > 0:06:53make it through to the next round? It's time to find out.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55All right, guys, thank you for today.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00I'll read out names that we'd like to invite back on Friday,
0:07:00 > 0:07:01our final recall day.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Mitch and Danielle need their names to be called out
0:07:04 > 0:07:07to make it through to the final audition.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Carlton Connell, Dennis Mayer,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Gregory Hazel...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Paul Edwards,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Mitchell Jarvis.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Mitch is through, but Danielle is still waiting.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Jordan Loran, Louis Fox, Claire Riley,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Danielle Black.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33She's done it! Both Mitch and Danielle are through.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Yes! That next step is a bit closer
0:07:35 > 0:07:38and it makes you want it even more.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42I'd love to get it! But we'll see, we'll see.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Danielle's pleased, but Mitch is still angry
0:07:45 > 0:07:47that he couldn't control his nerves.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50That wasn't amazing, like. I didn't perform amazingly,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52but it's all right.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55The final audition is now just a few days away
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and, for Mitch and Danielle, it promises to be the toughest
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and most important audition of their lives.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06# All the boys and the girls, they got it going on
0:08:06 > 0:08:09# When the beat kicks in... #
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Auditioning is just a part of life at this school.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14There, boom, crack it!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18But that doesn't make it any easier.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Before an audition, I feel really, really nervous
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and I just get really, really scared and worked up.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29In auditions, I get nervous, but when you get in, you have to hide it
0:08:29 > 0:08:32cos they don't want someone that's nervous.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35If you have an audition and you've got to each round
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and it keeps going on, then you get more attached to it,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40so when you don't get it, it does hurt.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Term pupils have been auditioning for the end of term gala,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47but even those who've landed major roles know they can't relax.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49If they don't perform well in rehearsals
0:08:49 > 0:08:52they'll be dropped and replaced.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Today, gala director Hayley Newton is running
0:08:56 > 0:08:59all the senior performances to see if everyone is up to the job.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Even though she's a junior, top dancer Ella has been asked to dance
0:09:14 > 0:09:17in the senior students' Michael Jackson routine.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19It's an honour to get this.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23They're saying, "we can rely on you to be mature about it, instead of
0:09:23 > 0:09:28"being all silly about it", because that's usually what young people do.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Ella has to perform a highly-technical solo routine,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35with the help of backing dancers, Jordan and Ed.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40The three juniors will be performing alongside dancers seven years older
0:09:40 > 0:09:42and they know if they don't keep up, they'll be dropped.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47It's nerve-wracking as you don't want to get in the way or shoved over.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51If we do get it wrong, they'll obviously just stop it. Oh, well.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54MUSIC: "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson
0:09:54 > 0:09:58The dress rehearsal gets underway. Ella, Ed and Jordan watch on
0:09:58 > 0:10:01as the seniors perform, knowing their Michael Jackson song
0:10:01 > 0:10:03is just moments away.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06# Are you OK, Annie? Annie, are you OK? #
0:10:06 > 0:10:11If they want to keep their roles, they'll have to perform perfectly.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13# Annie, are you OK? Are you OK, Annie?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17# Annie, are you OK? Will you tell us that you're OK?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19# Then you ran into the bedroom
0:10:19 > 0:10:21# You were struck down it was your doom
0:10:21 > 0:10:23# Annie, are you OK? So Annie, are you OK?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26# Are you OK, Annie? You've been hit by...
0:10:26 > 0:10:30# You've been hit by... A smooth criminal. #
0:10:30 > 0:10:35It's a fantastic first rehearsal. All three of them nailed it.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40That went really well. Especially the walk over.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It's a great start,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46but they know if they slip up at any point before the big night,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49there's lots of older dancers more than ready to take their place.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Manchester lad Layton's got several dancing roles in the gala,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01but today he's not dancing, he's acting.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Layton's filming scenes for TV drama Postcode.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12There's cameras, film makeup and even stunt people.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I am shooting a wee little scene about skater people.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Today's location is a skate park and while Layton films his scenes,
0:11:26 > 0:11:31professional BMXers and boarders perform tricks in the background.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Thankfully, Layton doesn't need to do any boarding himself.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I am awful at skateboarding. I wish I was good, but I'm not.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Kick flip.- Yeah, you can do it! - Bit of a kick!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46As exciting as it is, filming brings pressure.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50This is Layton's first big professional role for years
0:11:50 > 0:11:51and he wants to get it right.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54But he's worried his acting might be a little rusty.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I usually get called "the dancer". I am very comfortable when I dance.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I'm kind of out of my comfort zone a bit.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I'm not as confident acting as I am dancing, so....
0:12:06 > 0:12:10In his first scene, Layton has to react to a skateboarding accident
0:12:10 > 0:12:12while filming on his phone.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Argh!- But filming one scene isn't as straightforward as it looks.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Let's do one more like that. - We're going again.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24You know when you photographed him? You went like this...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27And then I walked round him. Shall I do that again?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Do that again when we film it. There's one more shot.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32261, take one.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34And...action.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Layton has to act out the same scene again...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40and again...
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and again.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46They want to do a close-up on people's face,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50they want to change angles, they want to go from the back of you.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54You could do a 30-second scene that takes three hours to film.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- What did you do?- I fell over!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Layton knows all his lines, but in this scene,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02the director wants him to improvise.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Layton, in terms of your character, continuing to film him
0:13:06 > 0:13:11in agony may be... No, but you could ask him if he's OK, couldn't you?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I don't know what to say to him! I don't know how to comfort him.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I'm like, "Are you all right?"
0:13:17 > 0:13:20With several more scenes left to film,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23it's going to be a long and challenging day for Layton.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Another day at school, another assembly.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Good morning, everybody. - ALL: Good morning, Mr Vogt.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36And today, headmaster Mr Vogt is handing out merit certificates.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41I'm now giving out our certificates of achievement. Can I ask...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Just like most schools, pupils receive merit points
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- for good behaviour. - We have Rihanna...
0:13:47 > 0:13:52Aspiring actress Mimi has earned enough points to get a certificate.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57- I have Mimi... - It's a big turnaround for Mimi,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00who at the start of term found herself in detention.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05I'm determined, I'm going to turn over a new leaf. Completely.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Mimi seems pretty pleased with her merit certificate but unfortunately,
0:14:10 > 0:14:16today, Mr Vote is also handing out detentions and Mimi is on the list.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19On at least five separate occasions, you have fallen short
0:14:19 > 0:14:22of the standards that you've probably expected of yourself
0:14:22 > 0:14:24and certainly that we expect of you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28You are invited to attend detention next Thursday afternoon.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31LAUGHING
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I said to myself, I wasn't going to have another one. Here I am!
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I did have plans to turn over a new leaf before
0:14:39 > 0:14:42and I'm feeling like I've...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I've betrayed myself.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49So this time, I'm going to turn over another new leaf
0:14:49 > 0:14:53and it's going to work this time.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Mimi's dream is to make it big in film and TV.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03'My ambition is to become a professional actress.'
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Why didn't you just come right out and say so?
0:15:06 > 0:15:07'I like theatre but I would like'
0:15:07 > 0:15:10to act more in like films and TV.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13And she's already had some professional jobs.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I've done theatre before. I did a play called Kin.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I did an advert as well. A Christmas Matalan advert.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22When I'm acting, I feel as though I want to give my best.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27I want to give all my effort and have something amazing afterwards.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30If she keeps ending up in detention the school could restrict
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Mimi from going to auditions and even attending acting class,
0:15:33 > 0:15:38so she knows she has to stop getting demerits.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43For both Danielle and Mitch,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46the biggest audition of their lives has arrived.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52It's their final cruise ship audition.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It's the last time they'll see us
0:15:54 > 0:15:57and the last opportunity to get them to see what we're about.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Whoever gets picked today will be sailing around the world,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08singing and dancing for eight months.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11It's what Danielle and Mitch have been studying for
0:16:11 > 0:16:17ever since they started at school, and competition is fierce.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's just when we have to perform, that's when the nerves will go.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24There's just 70 spaces up for grabs.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26In his last audition,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Mitch only scraped through, after his nerves got the better of him.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Today is Mitch's last chance to prove he's up to the job.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So this is the last opportunity we've got to see these guys.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Three o'clock this afternoon, we're making our decisions.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46It's the last chance to show them what you've got. Anything can happen.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49We've got to go in there and show them what we can do.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53In amongst all the other dancers, Mitch and Danielle have one dance
0:16:53 > 0:16:57and one chance to show the judges what they can do.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00OK, then, guys, we're only going to do it once, so make it
0:17:00 > 0:17:03the best one first time. Here we go!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06DANCE MUSIC
0:17:08 > 0:17:11All Mitch and Danielle's years of school training
0:17:11 > 0:17:14has to be poured into this performance.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17The judges are looking for technique, talent and energy.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Mitch and Danielle's audition is over.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29The judges still have lots more performers to see,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33so all they can do is head back to school and wait to find out
0:17:33 > 0:17:36if they've landed the job of a lifetime.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40That was so good. SHE SINGS
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Earlier in the week, Ella and Jordan impressed everyone by keeping up
0:17:50 > 0:17:53up with all the seniors at an important dress run.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55And today, the two have teamed up again,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58to go for another big gala role.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Assistant director Kyle DesChamps is looking for a boy and a girl
0:18:01 > 0:18:05to dance to a Frank Sinatra love song on the gala's closing night
0:18:05 > 0:18:08and Jordan and Ella are determined to win the role.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11It's good having a really good partner,
0:18:11 > 0:18:15but it's also knowing your partner and having a really good friendship.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I'm like, really good friends with Jordan, he's like my brother.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21But Ella is such a good dancer,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Jordan will have to work hard to keep up.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- I want to do it with Ella...- Yes. - ..so I've got to be really good.- Yay!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30In today's audition, Jordan needs to prove the two of them
0:18:30 > 0:18:33can work as a couple...
0:18:34 > 0:18:38..which isn't easy when you're shorter.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42It's harder because he's smaller but Jordan is really good as a partner.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Can the boy lift the girl? That's big question number one.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Sometimes, you can have a girl who's just a little bit taller,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54you know, than a boy. It's definitely, definitely a challenge.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57To get this role, Jordan and Ella need to prove
0:18:57 > 0:19:01they have comedy timing. In the middle of the dance,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Kyle wants them to deliberately bump into each other and fall over.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Turn around....
0:19:07 > 0:19:09This should get a big laugh from the audience,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11but, at the minute, Kyle looks unamused.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14We have pressure to get it right
0:19:14 > 0:19:18and if you get it too wrong too many times, you might be cut.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Finally, Kyle asks Jordan and Ella to run through the entire routine.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27One. One, two!
0:19:27 > 0:19:31MUSIC: "You Need Me, I Don't Need You" by Ed Sheeran.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Ha-ha, again, yes.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47OK. So thank you for today.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Kyle looks happy.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52All Ella and Jordan can do is wait for him to make his decision.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56If they get it, it will be a dream come true for these two friends.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08On set, dancer Layton's about to film his final scene of the day.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Layton, can I have you in the number one, please?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16It's been a long day. Being more comfortable dancing than acting,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Layton's had to use all his training to get the job done.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23If you were talking to each other, you may not notice.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25How cosy are you two at this point?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29But this scene, like the ones before,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33needs to be filmed more than once. A lot more.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Action!
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Action!
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Action!
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Each time he does it, Layton has to get his lines right,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52because on a film set, time is money.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Can we do one more like that? - Going again.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It's about keeping the energy up to produce the line
0:20:58 > 0:21:02with the same effects and emotions as the first time. It's hard.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Take two... Take six...
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Take seven...
0:21:07 > 0:21:14- You got very gloomy. It should be "Hi. It didn't go very well."- Did I?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15You've always got to be vigilant
0:21:15 > 0:21:18and know what's going on or else you can mess up.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22We did that scene so many times. You've just got to carry on.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- And we've cut, thank you. - That's the scene.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Finally, the scene is over. Layton's put in a strong performance
0:21:30 > 0:21:33despite feeling out of his comfort zone.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Whether it's in front of the camera, theatre or dancing, I love them all.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I want to do this for the rest of my life.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44# When I grow up I wanna to be famous
0:21:44 > 0:21:47# I wanna be a star I wanna to be in movies
0:21:47 > 0:21:49# When I grow up I wanna see the world. #
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It's the end of another school day.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Although not for Mimi.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58We're about to go into detention. Again.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03I'm not looking forward to it. I'm going to happy when it ends.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08She's collected seven demerits for things such as being late for class.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I turned over a new leaf and it went bad.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I'm going to turn over another one. It's going to be the last one.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16The last one. Promise.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22At this school, detention is usually a punishment of writing an essay
0:22:22 > 0:22:27or writing lines, but Mr Vogt has decided to try something different -
0:22:27 > 0:22:30a good old-fashioned talking to.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33We are now very near the end of term.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Many of you have got quite a collection of demerits.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41You haven't brought the right books, been late to class...
0:22:41 > 0:22:47You haven't known the time... A collection of misdemeanours...
0:22:47 > 0:22:51They accumulate. Once you've got one, it stays with you.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54These things not only interfere with your learning,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56but they interfere with...
0:22:56 > 0:23:01..The deed that you actually commit that gets you the demerit,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05but how you respond to the chastisement, right?
0:23:05 > 0:23:1030 minutes later and Mr Vogt's happy he's made his point.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Enough said. I'm going to ask you to go forth, think about this,
0:23:14 > 0:23:19make sure I don't have any more demerits. Go forth and be lovely.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24We learned more about why certain things happen, like.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It's not just about what you do,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30it's about how you respond.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34My turning a new leaf is basically turning a new leaf
0:23:34 > 0:23:39and I'm going to start to improve on everything I'm doing wrong.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Today at school, there's big news.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53Selection for the Sinatra dance has finally been posted on the board.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57And Jordan is keen to find out if he got the part.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Ella and Jordan had a tough session with choreographer Kyle,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03to see if they could dance together.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05It's definitely a challenge.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Jordan's seen the board and now it's Ella's turn.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12And he wants it to be a surprise.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Look! Gala.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Are you in the gala?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Yay!
0:24:21 > 0:24:25They got it and will be dancing together
0:24:25 > 0:24:27on the gala's closing night.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31That means with the Michael Jackson routine,
0:24:31 > 0:24:36they'll be performing twice on the biggest night of term.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40It's a double-whammy for Ella and Jordan.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Mitch and Danielle are waiting to hear if they've landed
0:24:44 > 0:24:48their dream job, sailing around the world on a cruise ship.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52I'd love to go. But we'll see.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55They've battled their way through three rounds of auditions
0:24:55 > 0:25:01against hundreds of professionals. Mitch struggled with nerves
0:25:01 > 0:25:04and Danielle didn't always bring the right clothes,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06but they made it to the last round.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11The casting agents have released the names of the performers they want.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15So Danielle is off to see Nina and see if she's got it.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18This would be her dream job.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Come on in.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- I've had a phone call.- Right. - They really love you,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- but you're on their reserve list at the moment.- OK.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Let's keep our fingers crossed that some people don't want to go.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38It's bad news. Danielle hasn't made the final list.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Being a reserve is good, but Danielle wanted more.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Obviously there was disappointment,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48but at the end of the day, you can't dwell on it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52I'm so used to being knocked back. Everyone is.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Knowing Danielle's not got the job, Mitch prepares himself to see Nina.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Hello.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05If he gets it, he'll be dancing in shows for eight months.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I've got news for you.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17They've offered you a contract!
0:26:17 > 0:26:22He's done it. Mitch will go straight into his first job.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24It's such a great way'
0:26:24 > 0:26:26to start my career and to see the world, as well.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31People pay to go travelling. I'll be getting paid to go and see the world.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Well done.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34I'm really excited.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It's not always easy stepping out of your comfort zone...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45..but if you never challenge yourself,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49you'll never know what you're capable of.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53# Everything's going to be OK The streets will lighten up our way
0:26:53 > 0:26:59# So we dance on, dance on We know we can dance on... #
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Next time on School for Stars...
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Jade and Rhianna have their friendship challenged...again.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14I know there is rivalry. If there wasn't, it wouldn't be healthy.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Callum gets more than he bargained for when he dances with Reece...
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I caught Callum's nose when I was punching him.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26..and Ross, one of the school's youngest movie stars,
0:27:26 > 0:27:31gets the red carpet treatment, at his very own star-studded premiere.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35I'm at the Horrid Henry premiere and it's just hectic really!
0:27:35 > 0:27:38This is life at the School for Stars.
