Warning~ spoilers ahead. Anyway, what I like about this movie is that it encourages me to work hard, not give up and be resilient. Felicie [main character who wants to be a dancer] worked hard and practiced with Odette [a former dancer, cleaner at the dance school and caretaker of Felicie] teaching and helping her keep up with the other students, so she could get the part of Clara in the Nutcracker, but the day before the final audition, she didn't practice and went out with Rudi instead. As a result, she messed up in the final audition, but after remembering a memory of her mother dancing and after realizing why she liked dancing so much, she bounced back from the failure, then went to back to the dance school to compete with Camille, her rival, to get the part in the Nutcracker, and got the part of Clara. I also liked how the characters improved; some examples are: Felicie becoming resilient, Odette opening up to Felicie and Camille being nicer to Felicie near the end. So I think this is a marvelous film, and I really enjoyed it.
