Wow! Madame Zobrinsky's baby grand piano!
I can't believe this famous old dance studio
is almost mine. For luck.
Uh, excuse me Miss Ziegler,
but ain't you nervous about opening up a dance studio in this place?
Yeah, people swear they've seen the ghost of Madame Zobrinsky
haunting her old dance studio here.
Hoosh, I'll tell you what.
-Yeah, I've heard those rumors. I just don't believe in ghosts. -[keys sounding]
This place is really coming together.
I can't believe this is actually happening.
[eerie piano playing]
Quit messing around with the piano, Joe.
I'm already nervous.
Ain't me. I'm right here.
[electricity crackling]
-[piano continues playing] -That is definitely weird.
-Run! -[all screaming]
-[heavy footsteps approaching] -[all gasp]
[electricity crackling]
[all gasp]
-[ghost screeches] -[screams]
Get out! Get out of my studio
and never return or you will pay!
[ghost laughing maniacally]
Uh, I think it might be time to reconsider that whole ghost thing.

[Daphne]Jeepers, it's Maddie Ziegler.
[Shaggy and Scooby-Doo chomping and chewing]
Well, gang, welcome to Pittsburgh,
the city of bridges.
That's right, Fred.
It has so many bridges due to its location
at the confluence of the Allegheny, Ohio,
and Monongahela Rivers.
Like I prefer the confluence of how these delicious pierogis
merge in my mouth. [chuckles]
[Scooby giggles] Yeah, yeah, confluence.
So many pierogi flavors, so little time.
Like we've got deep fried hotdog pierogis.
-Bacon cheddar. -Garlicky spinach.
-Chocolate fudge Sunday. -And jalapeno poppers.
I love original cheese pierogis.
They're my favorite.
Oh, gee. Like, the coolest thing ever.
[Scooby giggles]
Sublime!
Yeah, sublime.
[Daphne] This is Maddie Ziegler's dance studio,
but I don't understand.
She was supposed to have her big grand opening today.
Jinkies! I hope she's okay.
[Fred] Hey, somebody's up there.
Come on gang, let's check it out.
[Shaggy] Like, dudes, Scooby and I will wait down here
and keep the street safe.
[Scooby-Doo] Yeah, the street safe.
[piano playing]
[Shaggy whimpers] Like wait for us.
[Scooby-Doo] Yeah, wait up.
[woman grumbles]
[Daphne] Hello? Maddie? Anyone here?
It doesn't look like anybody's been here
for a very long time.
Like, maybe that's a sign that we shouldn't be here either.
Yeah. Can we go now?
Like, please?
Nothing doing, gang.
Let's keep looking and see what we can find.
-Ahhh! -[all] Ahhh!
Jeepers, it's...
[gang] Famous dancer, choreographer and actress Maddie Ziegler!
Oh, sorry, I was just rehearsing for a dance video.
Daphne, I'm so happy you made it! Hi!
Maddie, this is Fred, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo.
Hi, cutie. [makes playful noises]
[Scooby-Doo giggles]
We were really worried about you when we saw the door.
-What happened? -It was really weird.
Don't worry, Maddie.
"Really weird" is pretty much our norm.
[Maddie] Okay, here it goes.
I won this studio in a dance contest.
It used to be owned by the most famous dancer of all time.
[gasps] Jeepers!
Not Madame Zobrinsky!
Totally Madame Zobrinsky.
Madame Zobrinsky!
She was a famous Russian ballerina
who passed away over 30 years ago.
And this was her dance studio.
It's been deserted ever since.
[chomping]
[both] Sorry.
It was like a dream come true
when I won it in a dance competition.
The only condition was I had to reopen the studio.
But every time I try,
the ghost of Madame Zobrinsky stops everything.
[gang] Ghost?
That's great!
I mean, that's terrible.
What I mean is,
we're a group of teenage mystery solvers,
and we'd love to help you get to the bottom of this "Ghost" thing.
It's what we do.
Don't worry, Maddie. We'll have your dance studio open in no time.
-[woman] No! -[all exclaiming]
I wouldn't be hanging up my dance shoes here
anytime soon if I were you.
You scared us!
You should be scared.
I am the city parking and zoning official.
In 48 hours, the building reverts to the city.
And then, I'm turning this place into a parking lot.
No! You can't!
I can. And I will.
[laughs maniacally]
We need more parking in Pittsburgh
and this location is perfect.
[laughs]
[door closes]
Suspicious!
We need to solve this mystery fast
before Maddie loses her dance studio for good.
All of these files of Madame Zobrinsky's
are at least 30 years old, but nothing suspicious.
Hmm, nothing here either. Daph?
Same. Everything looks perfectly normal
There has to be something we're missing.
[Velma] Hmm, what kind of ghost leaves footprints?
That's odd.
The footprints lead out here by the piano.
[phone ringing]
-[phone beeps] -Da?
[speaking foreign language]
-[phone beeps] -[footsteps receding]
I couldn't hear what she said
but that was definitely Russian.
And angry.
Let's go back inside and look for more clues.
Well gang, this whole building seems to be a maze of dead ends.
Look! A hidden door!
-[elevator dings] -Jinkies!
[Daphne] Fourth floor?
I thought this building only had three floors.
According to the building's floor plans
I saw in the office, it does.
-[elevator dings] -[all gasping]
-[Daphne] Huh? -[elevator dings]
[elevator dings]
[Velma] It's a penthouse apartment.
[Daphne] Someone's living here.
Yeah, there's fresh food in here.
These are photos of Madame Zobrinsky's funeral
taken 30 years ago.
[Velma] Look! Somebody's finger is in the corner of every one of these photos.
[floorboard creaking]
-Oh! -[both sigh and giggle]
-[floorboard creaking] -[both laughing and giggling]
Hey, guys, make some room for me.
[floors creaking rhythmically]
-[all chuckle] -Like, dude we are the creak masters.
Yeah, wink, wink.
Ping! Bass in your face.
[chuckles] I love floorboard music.
[floorboard creaking]
Like, Scoob, the song's done buddy
You can stop creaking.
-Wasn't me. -But if it wasn't you...
-[banging on floorboard] -[Shaggy whimpering]
-[screaming] -[ghost laughs]
[laughs maniacally]
[Shaggy and Scooby-Doo] Yikes!
[thudding]
[stuttering] It's the... The...
[Shaggy and Maddie] Ghost of Madame Zobrinsky.
You are trespassing here
and you will pay the price!
Like, our bad. We were just leaving.
[laughs nervously]
[Shaggy and Scooby-Doo screaming]
Nyet.
You, Maddie Ziegler,
will now pay for this intrusion.
-I curse you! -[electricity crackling]
No!
The Russian dance curse lives inside of you now,
Maddie Ziegler. [laughs]
[Maddie grunts]
Like, man, I am glad she is gone.
But I'm cursed.
Look!
To break the curse you must teach someone
one of these three dances.
One. Teach someone a one legged water-ski dance without falling.
Two. Teach someone to dance in the rain on roller skates.
Three. Teach someone how to face dance.
Weird and kind of random.
Maddie, like, dude,
you're just gonna have to teach us this stuff.
You gotta break the curse.
I don't know.
There's no proof curses are real.
Oh, Velma, sweet, sweet, silly Velma. [laughs]
That's just crazy, dude!
Yeah, totally crazy.
Roger that.
I mean we are talking about a Russian Dance curse
given by a crazy old dance dude lady ghost
haunting her own dance studio.
Doesn't get more real than that.
You're right. I should do what she says.
I mean, she is... was Madame Zobrinsky after all.
Now you're talking, Maddie.
We'll break this curse. We'll do it together.

How did you guys do?
Well, it's kind of yet to be officially determined.
We totally blew it.
-[both] Sorry, Maddie. -[electricity crackling]
So, you are still cursed!
It's not her fault.
Yeah, man, like give her another chance.
[both whimpering]
Madame Zobrinsky?
I mean, ghost of Madame Zobrinsky.
The Madame Zobrinsky I admired was tough as nails,
but she treated people with respect.
Da. Perhaps.
And I'm here to tell you that I won't quit.
I will find a way to reopen your dance studio.
Hmm.
Then I give you one more chance to break my curse.
Maddie Ziegler,
You must perform the Zobrinsky Triangle.
The Zobrinsky Triangle?
[all] The Zobrinsky Triangle?
[both] The Zobrinsky Triangle?
What's the Zobrinsky Triangle?
That's too dangerous.
So, you quit?
Never, I never quit!
Fine.
The curse will only be lifted
if you perform the Zobrinsky Triangle...
-with them! -[both whimpering]
In the middle of the Royal Davidovich Ballet company,
performing in Pittsburgh, tonight!
[laughs maniacally]
but every single dancer except Madame Zobrinsky
has failed at the Zobrinsky Triangle.
The Zobrinsky Triangle?
[both] The Zobrinsky Triangle?
Like, I still don't know what that is.
Me neither.
There have been catastrophic disasters because of it.
[ground rumbling]
[ship horn blaring]
-[exploding] -[ambulance siren blaring]
Lives are at stake...
-Ours. -[whimpers]
Time to practice.
[energetic music playing]
[whimpers]
[groans]
[giggles]
[both groaning]
[laughs]
Whoo-hoo!
-[classical music playing] -[audience applauding]
[chuckles nervously] We're going out there
to dance in front of all those people?
No can do, Maddster!
Shaggy, there's no quitting in dance.
That was beautiful, Scooby-Doo. We can do this.
The trap is all ready to go.
All you have to do is dance.
I just hope the curse leaves me alone this time.
Oh, about that, Maddie.
Just want to shake your hand for luck.
-[electricity buzzing] -Ow.
Oh, sorry, it's the sweater.
It's like it has its own weather system or something.
Break a leg, guys.
Like, I really don't want to break anything. [laughs weakly]
Me neither. [whimpers]
[audience applauding]
I'm a dance angel.
[applauding]
Okay, you guys, This is it.
[sneezes]
[audience exclaiming]
[audience screaming]
I knew you would fail, Maddie Ziegler.
You have proven to have no respect for dance.
[audience gasps]
I will make you pay!
To be honest, that wasn't it.
I just wanted you right there.
My friends, we present the Zobrinsky Triangle.
[audience] The Zobrinsky Triangle?
Shaggy, Scooby, it's show time.
[gasping and chattering indistinctly]
Hold on, the Zobrinsky Triangle?
The Zobrinsky Triangle? [gasps]
-[wire twang] -[exclaiming]
[speaking alien language]
[crying]
It is so beautiful. [sobs]
So perfect. [sniffles]
[screaming] Brava! Brava!
Now, gang!
Uh-oh! Oh, no.
[Zobrinsky grunts]
[audience cheering and applauding]
Now let's see who the ghost of Madame Zobrinsky really is.
-[audience gasps] -[gang] Madame Zobrinsky?
But you're like 200 years old.
[gasps in disgust] I am 103, thank you very much.
What can I say? Dancers live long lives.
This doesn't make any sense.
[Velma] It's all quite simple, really.
Madame Zobrinsky faked her own death.
She has been alive and well
living in a secret penthouse apartment
above the dance studio for the last 30 years.
Throughout the studio, we found footprints
from a ballet shoe that dates back 70 years,
and exactly Madame Zobrinsky's shoe size.
And in the penthouse we found credit card receipts
showing she was still gettingbilled for her gym membership.
As for the funeral photos on the wall,
Madame Zobrinsky took those herself.
The fingerprints on the photos
match the prints that were on public record for her.
And it was Madame Zobrinsky's amazing dance abilities
that made her appear to float
and move so quickly that we couldn't even see her come and go.
For the "curse,"
Madame Zobrinsky discoveredshe could generate a temporarynerve freezing electric charge
from stacks of old dance shoes.
I calculated that just the right amount of static discharge
would take the curse out of Maddie's system.
And it did.
Great work as always, Velma,
but that leaves one question...
Why? Why did you do it?
It was time to retire.
I wanted to leave my precious dance studio
to someone who cared about dance as much as I.
I searched for 30 years for the perfect person.
And then Maddie came along.
But, I had to test her resolve.
She passed. With flying colors.
And I could have never gotten away with it,
if it weren't for the hard work and dedication
of Maddie Ziegler.
Oh, and you meddling kids too.
It is my honor
to leave my studio to you, Maddie Ziegler.
-You own it completely now. -[audience applauding]
[cheering indistinctly]
[Daphne] Oh, this is so exciting.
[Shaggy and Scooby-Doo yelp]
Welcome to the grand reopening of the Madame Zobrinsky Dance Studio.
And in honor of her, I only have one thing to say,
Dance!
Scooby-Dooby-Doo! [giggles]
