The Blue-Footed Booby Bird Ballet.
Art: Ica Stones.
And music...
[clarinet playing]
"Swan Lake,"
written by Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky.

[laughing]
Hello, I'm June.
I'm teaching these blue-footed
booby birds how to dance.
Do you want to see the birds dance?
Great!
First, we're going
to practice arabesques.
Can you say "arabesque"?
Arabesque, good!
To do an arabesque, you stretch
your whole body to the side,
like you're just waking up.
This bird does such good arabesques,
he earns an arabesque sticker.
See?
Very graceful.
Next, we practice our bourrées.
Can you say "bourrée"?
Bourrée!
On your tip toes,
blue-footed booby birds.
Beautiful.
This bird has a bourrée sticker.
See?
And last, we practice port de bras.
It's a dance with our arms.
Say "port de bras."
See? This bird earns
a port de bras sticker.
You birds have been learning so much.
[honking]
I know, Baby Booby Bird.
You don't have any stickers yet.
But if you keep practicing,
I'm sure you're going
to get lots of stickers real soon.
My students are so wonderful.
Come on, let's clap
for the blue-footed booby birds.
All right, class, the bird boat
will be here very soon.
Let's line up at the dock.
[bell ringing]
That sounds like the bird boat.
Do you see the boat?
Yes, here it is!
The birds are so excited.
They've been
practicing and practicing.
And today, they're going
to put on a big ballet show.
See?
It's the blue-footed
booby bird ballet!
Good luck! I'll see you at the show.
Oh, I'm so excited for my students.
Oh, no!
Baby Booby Bird, are you ok?
Wait, stop!
You left one of my students.
Poor Baby Booby Bird,
you missed the boat.
[honking]
What's the matter, June?
Baby Booby Bird fell off the boat!
He's going to miss the show.
Aw, poor bird.
-That's terrible.
-Oh, no!
[honking]
Don't worry, my friends and I
will get you to the show.
[honks]
But we're going to need your help.
Will you help Baby Booby Bird
get to his show?
Excellent.
[wand beeping]
We've got a mission!
We're going to bring
Baby Booby Bird to the ballet.
Let...
the mission...
begin!
Buckle your seatbelts.
[all]
Seatbelts buckled!
Prepare for blast-off.
We need to give Rocket
a lot of power.
Put your hands on your lap
and pat with us!
Pat, pat, pat, pat,
pat, pat, pat, pat.
Faster!
[rapidly]
Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.
Now, raise your arms
as high as you can
and say, "Blast-off!"
[all]
Blast-off!
[June]
Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!
[Quincy]
All right!
The blue-footed booby birds are
putting on their ballet show at home,
in the Galapagos Islands.
Whoo, that's far away.
[honks]
Don't worry, Baby Booby Bird,
Rocket can get you there,
right, Rocket?
-[beeping]
-Rocket, to the Galapagos!
Baby Booby Bird
is calling to his friends.
♪ Oh, don't be sad ♪
♪ Baby Booby Bird ♪
♪ We will get you
to the ballet in time ♪
[June]
There are the Galapagos Islands!
[Leo]
Way to fly, Rocket!
[Quincy] But we don't know
which way to go next.
[honking]
Baby Booby Bird says
we have to follow the signs
to get to the show.
[Quincy]
Do you see a sign for the show?
Yes, there it is!
Land down there, Rocket.
The sign says we have to go through
this Ica Stone tunnel.
[Leo] Uh-oh, check out
that humongous animal!
[Annie]
It's a giant tortoise!
[Quincy] And it's sleeping
right in front of the tunnel!
But Baby Booby Bird
has to get through the tunnel
to get to the ballet.
We have to wake up this tortoise.
[honking]
That's a great idea, Baby Booby Bird,
good thinking!
What is it, June?
Baby Booby Bird remembers
a wake up and stretch stance
that could wake up anybody.
It's an arabesque.
[honking]
That's it, Baby Booby Bird!
I told you you could do it.
We're going to need your help
to wake up the giant tortoise.
Stretch your whole body
to this side with me.
Arabesque, good.
Now, stretch to the other side.
Arabesque.
[honks]
[Leo] Look, the giant tortoise
is stretching one of his legs.
[Quincy]
He's starting to wake up.
But to wake him up all the way,
we need to stretch even further.
Can you stretch your body further?
Arabesque.
Arabesque.
Yeah, do it with me.
That's it, stretch as far as you can.
Arabesque!
Arabesque!
[turtle yawning]
-He's awake. We did it!
-All right!
-Yay!
-[honking]
Thanks, giant tortoise.
That was awesome, Baby Booby Bird.
You woke up the giant tortoise.
That's not all he did.
Congratulations, Baby Booby Bird,
you just earned
your arabesque sticker.
-[honking]
-Aw.
-He's so happy.
-Way to go.
[honking]
Come on, team, we'd better hurry
before another animal decides to nap
in front of the tunnel.
♪ Oh, don't be sad, Baby Booby Bird ♪
♪ We will get you
to the ballet in time ♪
We made it through the tunnel.
[classical music plays]
And listen,
the ballet show sounds louder.
We're getting closer.
Yes, but it sounds
like the show is starting soon.
We have to hurry.
Look, team, here's another sign.
The sign says that next
we have to go across the sandy beach.
[honking]
Oh, no, the sand is really hot!
[honks]
But we have to go across the sand
to get to the ballet.
Baby Booby Bird
needs to be in the show.
[honks]
[honking]
Uh, June,
what is Baby Booby Bird doing?
Baby Booby Bird
just had another excellent idea!
He knows a tap your toes
dance that can help us
get across the hot sand.
It's called bourrée.
[honks]
But to dance across the hot sand,
we're going to need your help.
Come on, put your feet
out in front of you
and tap your toes, like me.
That's it!
Tap your toes.
Bourrée!
It's working.
We're tapping our toes so fast
that the sand isn't hurting our feet.
-Oh.
-Ouch.
Hot.
Uh-oh, the sand is getting hotter.
We need to bourrée faster.
Tap your toes faster with us.
Here comes the hottest sand yet.
Tap your toes as fast as you can!
Bourrée!
We made it!
All right. Yay!
[honks]
Thanks for helping us
dance across the hot sand.
-[honks]
-And guess what, Baby Booby Bird?
You earned another sticker
for doing such a great bourrée.
Whoa, another sticker.
How many stickers
does Baby Booby Bird have now?
Two! That's amazing.
Great job, Baby Booby Bird.
You're becoming such a good dancer.
[honks]
[classical music plays]
Uh-oh, that sounds
like the ballet show.
It's getting louder and louder!
It's almost time
for the show to start.
We've got to hurry
and get Baby Booby Bird
there in time.
[chiming]
♪ Oh, don't be sad, Baby Booby Bird ♪
♪ We will get you
to the ballet in time ♪
[classical music plays]
Uh-oh, we don't know which way to go.
There's no sign.
[gasps] Look, it's a ray fish.
A golden eagle ray!
Wow! He and Baby Booby Bird
must be friends.
[splashing]
[honking]
He's saying that he knows
where to find the ballet show.
He wants us to follow him.
This way, team, to Rocket!
[honking]
Yes, Baby Booby Bird,
the golden eagle ray
is very graceful.
It's like he's dancing
through the water.
[Quincy]
Uh-oh, but he's swimming so fast!
[Annie]
Leo, how is Rocket going to keep up?
I know how.
Rocket, put out your swimming fins!
[beeping]
[Quincy]
I cannot believe it.
Rocket has his very own fins!
[June]
Just like the golden eagle ray.
[Annie] Uh-oh,
that sounds like another animal,
and it sounds
like it's swimming after us.
What animal is it?
A shark! Right!
And here he comes.
We've got to help Rocket
and the golden eagle ray swim faster.
[honking]
Good idea, Baby Booby Bird.
We can do a dance
that will help us swim faster.
It's called port de bras.
[honking]
Do it with us.
Start with your arms down low
in first position.
Now, lift them out to the side
to second position.
Port de bras!
Keep dancing with us.
Down and to the side.
First position, second position.
First, second.
First, second.
First, second, first, second.
[Quincy]
Uh-oh, the shark is catching up.
We've got to help Rocket
and the golden eagle ray swim faster.
[honks]
Put your arms down low
in first position.
Now, lift them really, really high
to fifth position.
That's it!
Down low and way up high.
First position, fifth position.
First, fifth, first, fifth.
It worked!
Rocket and the eagle ray
are swimming so fast.
[Leo] The shark gave up.
He's swimming far away.
-[Annie] Hurray!
-[Quincy] Awesome!
[honking]
Aww, the Baby Booby Bird
is saying thank you to his friend,
golden eagle ray.
[splashing]
Guess what, Baby Booby Bird?
You just earned another sticker.
You get this one
for learning port de bras.
[honks]
[Quincy] Now, how many stickers
does Baby Booby Bird have?
Three stickers, yeah!
You're becoming such a good dancer.
[honks]
[bell ringing]
[Leo] Look, team,
that buoy has another sign.
The ballet show is this way.
Those booby birds
were riding in a bird boat.
Do you see the bird boat?
-[bell ringing]
-Yeah, there's the boat.
Do you see
the blue-footed booby bird ballet?
Yes, there's the stage
on top of Kicker Rock.
[June gasps]
The ballet show, it's about to start!
Baby Booby Bird
is never going to make it in time.
[honks]
Don't worry. We know someone
who can get him there in time.
[beeps]
Rocket!
[honks]
We're going to have to fly Rocket
as fast as he can go.
Super fast!
Will you help me
fly Rocket super fast?
Great, super fast!
♪ Super fast ♪
To get to super fast,
we have to start at adagio.
Pat the beat on your lap slowly.
Moderato!
Now, pat the beat on your tummy,
a little faster.
Allegro!
Now, pat the beat
on your shoulders even faster.
Presto!
Now, reach your arms to the sky
and shake your whole body!
We did it! We're flying super fast!
Hurry, Rocket.
[Quincy]
All right, we made it just in time.
Baby Booby Bird,
your friends are so happy to see you.
[honking]
That's right.
Baby Booby Bird
has earned three stickers.
He's become such a good dancer.
[honking]
[gasps] Baby Booby Bird,
your friends
want you to lead the ballet.
[honks]
Yes, you. I know you can do it.
And I'll help,
I'll call out the dances.
Go on.
