When you stuff up, do you get super mad at yourself? Ever tried the best friend rule? Set in a strict ballet school, the characters learn to turn their inner critic into their biggest cheerleader, simply by asking: what would I say to my best friend? Play this episode in the classroom or in the car. There are plenty of pausing opportunities to discuss some of the themes.
