Outside beside a sunlit chicken coop, Cinderella wearing earbuds twirls with a bucket and scrub brush at her feet. Chickens flap excitedly while mice line up copying her funky dance moves.
Cinderella, a 10-year-old black girl with long brown hair, put on her earbuds before scrubbing the floors. She danced and sang, turning chores into a concert. Her stepmother called out, "Cinderella, feed the chickens!" Cinderella twirled by the coop, giggling. The mice gathered to copy her funky moves. "Come on, everybody!" cheered Cinderella.
Beneath afternoon light in the cluttered parlor, Cinderella grins and break-dances in worn sneakers. Her two arguing stepsisters clutch bright ball gowns nearby while a curious chicken taps its feet on the wooden floorboards.
At home, the stepsisters argued over fancy dresses for the royal ball. Cinderella just smiled and danced in her sneakers. Her stepsisters laughed, "You'll never get noticed with those moves!" Cinderella winked, "Just you wait and see!" Even the chickens tapped their feet. Her music filled the house with joy.
Inside the candlelit palace ballroom, Cinderella moonwalks across the polished floor, smiling confidently. A young prince in regal attire stares amazed while guests form a clapping circle around her and the band’s instruments gleam under crystal chandeliers.
At the ball, Cinderella moonwalked onto the dance floor. Prince Charming gaped, "I've never seen moves like that!" Guests clapped as Cinderella led a TikTok dance challenge. The band played her favorite song. "Show us your superstar style!" cheered the crowd. Cinderella grinned and hit every beat perfectly.
At the grand castle doorway under midnight moonlight, Cinderella spins mid-stride and tosses a shining glass slipper over her shoulder. A young prince in regal attire reaches toward it, dancers and onlookers behind them frozen in jubilant applause.
As the clock struck midnight, Cinderella spun and moonwalked toward the door. She waved and tossed her glass slipper behind her. "Catch me if you can!" she laughed. Prince Charming rushed after her, still dancing. The whole castle cheered. Cinderella left as the world's first dance influencer!
