You Got Clogged - 250 Word Synopsis

Logline -

An overconfident troupe of ballerinas get "served" by a team of elderly cloggers.

Synopsis -

Four graceful yet arrogant ballerinas make their way down a dirty city street. As they pass the window of a decrepit community center with a poster advertising free clogging lessons, they see four elderly women inside feebly trying to warm-up. The ballerinas stop to laugh and mock the aging dancers. The elderly women notice the ballerinas and go out to confront them. The oldest and feeblest of the cloggers, Barbara, challenges the ballerinas to a dance-off. Thinking they could not possibly lose to the old women, they ballerinas accept the challenge.
The music starts out slow while the cloggers begin their routine. Then, the ballerinas take their turn. As each group tries to one-up the other, the music gets faster and more intense. After a few rounds, it’s obvious who the victors are; Barbara and the cloggers win.
The main ballerina, Chloe, collapses to the ground astonished by the dancing prowess of the cloggers. Chloe’s cronies help her to her feet and they apologize to the old women. Ashamed and filled with new respect for the cloggers, the troupe of ballerinas walk back the way they came. Barbara, and the other dancers go back inside and try to warm-up again. Moments later, a group of hip-hop dancers begin strutting up the street towards the community center. They stop to read the sign in the window and laugh at the old women. From inside the building, Barbara notices the new foes. Her eyes reflect light as she gives a devious grin.

Sorry it took me so long to post this. I'll try and get more stuff out to you guys as the week progresses.

Luke and Amy, I noticed last week in class you were writing long versions of the other two stories. Could you please post them or e-mail them to the group? Thanks.
