00:00Oh, look, it's Misty Copeland, the great ballet dancer.
00:07Oh, hi, Misty.
00:09Hi, Elmo.
00:10I'm so happy to see you.
00:12Oh, well, Elmo's happy to see you, too.
00:14Boy, Elmo can't wait to see Misty dance.
00:17OK, but first we have to warm up.
00:20Warm up?
00:21Oh, what's the matter, Misty?
00:22Is Misty cold?
00:23Does she need a sweater?
00:24No, not that kind of warming up.
00:27I'm going to stretch my body so it's warmed up and ready to dance.
00:31Want to warm up with me?
00:32Oh, yeah, OK.
00:34Oh, come on, everybody.
00:35Let's warm up with Misty.
00:38OK, first we stretch our arms.
00:41One, two.
00:43Oh, OK, stretching the arms.
00:47One, two.
00:50OK, then we stretch our hands and fingers.
00:55But it feels good.
01:02Then we stretch our feet and toes.
01:08Oh, no problem.
01:11Feet, feet, feet.
01:14Elmo, are you OK?
01:17No, Elmo's fine, Miss Misty.
01:21Elmo just stretches for a little too far.
01:27Why does Misty stretch every part of her body?
01:30Well, it's because I use every part of my body to dance.
01:35I use my arms.
01:37Uh-huh.
01:38I use my hands, my fingers, my legs and feet and toes.
01:46And then music, please.
01:51Like she's done.
01:52So she's done.
01:53And her friends, withwatching our hands together.
01:55And living memorizing them to try this way to a place.
01:57Wow, that was beautiful!
02:23Oh, um, how does Misty move like that?
02:27Well, I love to dance.
02:29I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning, but I kept trying and got better.
02:34Wow.
02:36Um, does Misty think that somebody like, oh, Elmo doesn't know, a furry red cute monster
02:42could learn how to dance ballet too?
02:45Yep.
02:45If you love to dance and practice, you can do it.
02:49Well, Elmo definitely loves to dance.
02:52Would you like to dance with me now?
02:55Really?
02:56Oh, yeah, Elmo would love to.
02:58Okay.
