The Royal Ballet

 is the seventeenth episode of "Backyardigans x Frontyardigans" written by Hornean.

Summary
Austin, Tyrone, Uniqua, and Tasha, the most talented team of ballet dancers, were invited to the royal palace by King Thomas and Queen Sophie to perform a ballet called "Swan Lake". The dancers each have their roles, Uniqua as the princess who has been turned into a swan, Austin as the prince, Tyrone as an evil sorcerer, and Tasha as the sorcerer's daughter. But Austin is very nervous about dancing in front of the monarchs. Ironically, Martin, the director, who wanted the show to be perfect is proven to be very bossy and constantly nags on anyone who he believes is doing it wrong and before Martin knew it, everyone except for Austin quits! Will Martin see the errors of his ways before the show turns into a disaster?

Quotes

 * (after rescuing Austin)
 * Uniqua (Uniqua the Ballet Dancer): Austin, what were you doing?
 * Austin (Austin the Ballet Dancer): I just wanted to impress Martin.
 * Martin (Director Martin): No, Austin. It was my fault. I wanted you to dance the way I want it to be so that it would impress the king and queen. But instead, I've gotten into some very bad habits and I've alienated everyone. And Uniqua, you were right. There is no such thing as perfection. From now on, I will let you all dance the way you like, and I promise that if anyone makes a mistake, I will be more encouraging and less selfish.


 * (after the show was over)
 * Martin (Director Martin): I really want to apologize to everyone, especially for Austin, for getting so carried away.
 * Andrew (Conductor Andrew): Well, sometimes taking on such a big responsibility can be a little overwhelming.
 * Martin (Director Martin): Don't I know? (chuckles)
 * (everyone else laughs)
