Ep 2. Rooftop Hip-Hop

Rooftop Hip-Hop is the second episode of the first season of the show Find Me in Paris. In this episode, we see Lena, a ballet dancer from 1905 who has time-traveled to present-day Paris, trying to adjust to her new life and complete her mission of becoming a great dancer in 2018.

The episode begins with Lena waking up in her new apartment, which she shares with her roommate and fellow ballet student, Ines. Lena is still not used to modern technology and finds it difficult to navigate her phone and laptop. Ines tries to help her out, but Lena is not interested, as she believes technology will distract her from her dancing practice.

Lena and Ines head to the ballet school, where Lena finds it hard to fit in. She's not familiar with the other students' dance moves and lacks the technical skills that are required in modern ballet. She is consoled by her dance teacher, who recommends that she should try an experimental dance class to enhance her skills.

Lena takes the dance class but is horrified when the teacher puts on hip-hop music. Lena believes that hip-hop is too modern and doesn't belong in the world of ballet. However, as the class goes on, Lena quickly realizes that there is a certain amount of attitude and passion in hip hop dancing that could enhance her ballet skills. Lena quickly becomes engrossed in the dance and starts to enjoy herself.

Meanwhile, Ines has a problem of her own. She has been flirting with a boy named Max, who has been dropping hints that he wants to go out with her. However, Ines is conflicted, as she is already in a relationship with someone else but doesn't want to hurt Max's feelings. Emily, another ballet student and Ines' best friend, tries to help Ines out and suggests that she should tell Max the truth.

Back at the experimental dance class, Lena is excelling and impressing her teacher. However, when the teacher asks her to improvise her own hip-hop dance, Lena becomes nervous and freezes up. The teacher tells her that she needs to let go of her old ways and embrace the free-flowing nature of hip-hop, urging her to go to a party and dance with the people there.

Lena is hesitant but decides to go to the party with some of her fellow dancers. They climb onto the rooftop of a building, where a group of people are breakdancing. Lena watches in awe, and at first, she is too afraid to join in. However, when someone challenges her to a dance-off, Lena finds her confidence and dances alongside them.

Meanwhile, Ines meets Max at the party, and when she tells him the truth, he is hurt but understanding. They share a dance and share a moment together before parting ways. In the end, Lena realizes that she does not need to reject hip-hop in order to embrace ballet. They can coexist and complement each other, and she is ready to become the best dancer she can be.

Overall, Rooftop Hip-Hop is a fun and engaging episode that shows Lena discovering new dance styles and learning to adapt to modern life. It also touches on the theme of honesty and the importance of being truthful to oneself and others. It's a great addition to the first season of Find Me in Paris.
