Angelina is not happy about all the changes in her daily routine now that her family has moved to the other side of Chipping Cheddar. Her plan to drop out of her new school is thwarted after she receives a special gift from her new teacher, Ms. Mimi, giving her the confidence and making her excited to embark on her new adventures at Camembert Academy for the Performing Arts.

Angelina is excited, yet nervous, about her first day of school at Camembert Academy. When she finds her new classmates proficient in other styles of dance, she tries to copy their moves – without success. Angelina soon discovers that when she’s true to her own style of dance – ballet – she excels, and soon understands that everyone is different, and different is good.

It’s Ms. Mimi’s birthday, and Angelina wants to give her the best birthday ever! As Angelina and her classmates check the list of items needed for a party, everything goes comically wrong; they can’t even buy a decent gift for their beloved teacher! Ms. Mimi is definitely surprised by the makeshift party her students throw for her, and is even more delighted by the song and dance they improvise on a whim, which ends up being the best gift of all.
