I play a gingerbread girl and every year

I wish it was a fairy like the Sugar

Plum Fairy the most beautiful ballerina

ever

wow what's she doing she's warming up

before the performance stretching her

muscles ballet is very very hard work

you have to to be super strong and super

flexible to be able to dance so

gracefully who is he that's the dancer

who plays the prince look at his muscles

and his legs he must be so strong he is

you should see how high he can

jump zoe zoodle that's so beautiful

that's nothing really they're saving

their best jumps for their

performance

age it must be so wonderful to be a

fairy 15 minutes to Performance come

they set up the stage for the ballet you

can see everything from here oh leaping

lollipops look at these candies those

are the props for the land of sweets

they roll on wheels

gingerbread dance sweet it must be so

much fun to dance with a candy

cane it sure is and over here are the

Giant toys for under the Christmas tree

favorite thing to do in the whole

world I've been taking lessons for a

long time since I was very little why

are you still taking lessons you already

know how to skate really well I'm

learning more than just how to

skate I'm learning

jumps and

Twirls and other special

moves

wao it's called Figure Skating figure

skating show me more

[Music]

sure you look like a hopping bunny when

you do that one that's called the bunny

jump this is called an upright spin

because you st stay

upright and this is a Sit spin because

you

[Music]

sit

taada yay wao I know I can't do spins or

jums but I sure wish I could skate would

you like me to teach you would I

absolutely okay then follow me one foot

after the

other

good Franny now let go of the cone hold

your arms out to the side like this to

help you

balance

okay and bend your knees a

little now move forward one foot at a

time just like we did when we were

holding on to the cone

wo you're doing it great galopy I'm

skating

that was ice errific but skating is hard

[Music]

work hey they get to hold on to a hockey

stick to help them

balance let's take a rest would you like

some juice from the snack bar

sure these are skate

guards

now we can walk on our skates without

ruining the

blade it's not easy walking on skates

either I can't bend my

[Music]

feet look I am walking like a

[Music]

robot I'll have apple juice what will

you have Franny same please two apple

juice please here you go thank you

you're welcome

kids scrum didly

umptious look

Sylvie

zoi that was Sprint tabulous who are

they they're figure skaters they're

practicing for a figure skating

competition it's a contest where you're

given points for how well you skate your

special moves the winner is the one with

the most points will you be in the

competition too no not me why not you

can jump and twirl as well as they did

thanks Franny you're right I am good at

jumping and twirling but I can't do a

figure eight what's a figure eight it's

a figure skating move in competition the

figure8 is a basic one and I can't do it

what does it look like is it very fancy

Dancy not really I'll show

you

[Music]

this is a figure

eight oh it's the exact same shape as

the number eight if you can jump and

spin and do whirly twirlies I just know

you can learn to do a figure eight I've

tried but I get all mixed up I mean to

go one way but my feet go the other way

H what about looking at the drawing on a

napkin while you skate that way you'll

remember what to do I can

try can you see it

yep

W are you okay what happened I'm fine

but I took my eyes off the napkin and

saw the red hockey lines and got all

confused my feet started following the

lines on the ice following the lines on

the ice are you thinking what I'm

thinking we can draw a figure8 on the

ice and you can follow the shape that's

a great idea Franny I know just the

thing wait

here excuse me can I borrow your red

chalk I won't be a minute here you go

thank you you're

welcome there I drew the number eight

onto the ice it looks just like a figure

eight now you can follow the lines as

you skate and your feet will know EX

exactly where to go I think this might

work here

goes yay that's it

Sylvie I did it a figure eight you did

it thanks to you Franny a bit more

practice and I'll be able to enter a

competition would you like to skate some

more I can teach you to twirl around I'd

love to Sylvie but I need to scaddle

home there's something I have to do okay
