Awesome / Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses

• Genevieve figuring out how to enter the magical world in their mother's book- all because Lacey slipped and dropped her book, and it landed next to the tile with her flower on it.
• A minor moment, but Delia is one of the first of the girls to stand up to Rowena when she insults the triplets and announces her intentions to lock the girls in their room.
  Delia: Papa would never lock us in!
• When Derek arrives back at the palace to tell Genevieve about the silver goblet and hears that the princesses are missing, Desmond locks him out. So Derek decides to wait until nightfall and scale the walls of the palace to find out what happened.

  Felix: [sees Derek looking at the princesses' tower] Tell me you're going to leave.

  Derek: [smirks] Eventually.

  • When he reaches the princess' room and sees that they are actually missing, he performs a Sherlock Scan and notices his shoe polish on the flower stones. Derek then figures out how to enter the magical world based on where the polish is thickest, and the dance that he watched Genevieve perform in the garden earlier. Not bad.
    Derek: [dancing from stone to stone] Two... three... four... five...
    Felix: My, weren't we paying close attention.
• The girls taking back their castle, using the unique skills and abilities we saw in their introductions to get past the guards. Not to mention Genevieve and Derek's battle with the animated armor.
  • Blair putting her horseback riding skills to use by dismounting one of Rowena's guards and taking the horse to fetch a doctor for Randolph.
  • Delia and Edeline using their croquet mallets to knock out two guards.
  • Hadley and Isla tricking the guards into following them over a hedge with their stilts.
  • Ashlyn, Courtney, and Fallon duping Desmond into chasing them and locking him in a room so the triplets can get the healing water to their father.
• Genevieve using her fan to blow the magic pollen onto Rowena.
• "Shine."
• Derek and Genevieve's Dance of Romance, especially the sequence where they rise up into the sky, dancing on air. Her sisters soon follow after them in a gorgeous ballet movement.
