Ariana Treasure

Ariana’s friend Maya’s Seeya is in town from Sri Lanka and Maya is entering the school talent show to impress him. The only thing is… she has no talent. Ariana and the Treasure Chest help Maya decide on a dance routine with some new shoes. The day of the talent show, Maya forgets her lucky shoes and instead performs the dance her Seeya taught her.
