They danced doing maths, while they read, they danced into bed, at the park, and at the zoo. They even danced at the beach and while shopping in four lines of two. One day, a girl named Regina arrived to the dance studio. Then Miss Lina's eight ballerinas turned into nine. The girls worried what would they do, they no longer could dance in four lines of two. The girls were all baffled and mixed-up. Miss Lina then told them they will soon see how delightful it is to be in three rows of three. So in three rows of three they practiced all day, danced while they read, did math, went to bed, at the park, at the beach, and while shopping. So everything was perfect even though now there was nine, dancing in three rows of three was just divine for Christina, Edwina, Sabrina, Justina, Karina, Bettina, Marina, and Nina who danced all day long with their new friend Regina. Ballet instructor Miss Lina has a solution when her eight students, who always dance in pairs, are distraught when a ninth girl joins the class.
