0:02:14 > 0:02:16So what are we playing today?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Whoa! So I'm wearing a Roman's helmet,

0:02:25 > 0:02:30painter and decorator overalls, and flippers on my feet.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34What am I going to do with that? This isn't right.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Nice!

0:02:39 > 0:02:44This time I'm wearing a white shirt, bow tie, and a very smart jacket.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46So what are we playing today?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Of course. We'll be ballroom dancers!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50What do we need to know?

0:02:52 > 0:02:55'Ballroom dancing is a style of dance that follows strict

0:02:55 > 0:02:58'footsteps and movements and usually takes place

0:02:58 > 0:03:01'in a large room called a ballroom.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03'Ballroom dancing is performed in pairs

0:03:03 > 0:03:07'and is not a style of dance for one person.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11'In ballroom dancing, ladies always stand on the man's right.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15'This tradition comes from a long time ago when men wore swords.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18'The ladies stood on the man's right to avoid the sword.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23'Ballroom dancers sometimes put candle wax on the bottom

0:03:23 > 0:03:26'of their shoes to stop them slipping on the floor.'

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Candle wax on shoes? Hm. OK. So that's what we need to remember.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Do we need anything else?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Whoa.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38A bat with the number ten on it?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40I wonder what we'll need this for.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42I guess we'll find out.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44So we have everything we need, let's go.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Doesn't match! Wrong colour! Wrong shape!

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Look, Rebecca, guess what we are playing today.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56No, no, don't say a word, let me show you. And whee!

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Oh, Sid, I'm getting dizzy! - Stop spinning when I let go of you!

0:04:00 > 0:04:01But I'm still dizzy!

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Look, we're playing ballroom dancers. Oh, yes.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Well, have fun!

0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'll try to find something to jazz up my outfit.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Good luck. See you. - See you later.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36Hello. I'd like to enter the competition, but I don't know how.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38You register here. With me.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45Wait! Is it just you? On your own?

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Yes.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Well, I'm afraid I can't enter you into this competition. Sorry!

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Oh, no! How am I supposed to become a ballroom dancer

0:06:53 > 0:06:55if I can't dance anywhere?

0:06:55 > 0:06:58I can't enter the competition on my own.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01So what am I going to do? Hm...

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Oh, hold on. I remember! Do you?

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Ballroom dancing is performed in pairs.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09That's why I can't dance on my own.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11So I need to find someone to dance with

0:07:11 > 0:07:14so we can enter the competition together!

0:07:14 > 0:07:16That's right. You need a partner.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Then I'll find one!

0:07:19 > 0:07:23I don't care what the doctor thinks, I care what I think,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26and I think you should be here, dancing with me!

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Hello? Hello?

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Why, oh, why, oh, why?!

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Wah-ah!

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Uh...uh... Are you OK?

0:07:39 > 0:07:42No, I am not OK.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44My dance partner is sick.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Something about a broken ankle or something.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Now look at me - I'm all sparkled up with no-one to dance with!

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Cover your ears!

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Waaaah!

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Hold on, hold on. I'm looking for a dance partner.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Maybe we could enter together.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Yes! Yes! Yes!

0:08:04 > 0:08:06I found a dance partner!

0:08:06 > 0:08:08And I'm going to win again!

0:08:11 > 0:08:12Has she stopped?

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Wait! I've found a dance partner!

0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Name of your dance partner? - Roxy Trots.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23And your name?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Sid Sparkles!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29You are entered as couple number seven.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33You must wear the number on your back at all times.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Good day.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Now, Sid, if you're going to dance with me,

0:08:39 > 0:08:42you'll have to practise your dance steps.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- So are you ready? - OK! Shall we dance?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Why, certainly!

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Oh! Sorry. Shall we try again?

0:08:56 > 0:08:57What are you doing?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Get off. Stand up.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02You're not in the right place, in the right position.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05This is hopeless! I can't work with you.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Oh, no! How am I going to enter the dance competition

0:09:10 > 0:09:12if I don't have a partner?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Hold on. I remember, do you?

0:09:15 > 0:09:19In ballroom dancing, the lady stands on the man's right.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23This tradition comes from a long time ago when men wore swords.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26The lady stood on the man's right to avoid the sword.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Roxy, wait! I remember now.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32You have to stand on my right and I have to stand on your left.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Now we can practise properly!

0:09:34 > 0:09:38About time! OK, first we'll try a dance called the quickstep.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Remember to be light on your feet. - The quickstep.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Stop, stop, stop. Oh, dear, that wasn't light or quick!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Maybe we should try the mambo.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Oh, the mambo? I know about the mambo.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56That's where you shake your hips.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00And you move around. You go in and out. Mambo!

0:10:01 > 0:10:07Hm, yes. Well, maybe we should try the tango instead!

0:10:07 > 0:10:10OK. It's slow-slow, quick-quick, slow.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Slow-slow, quick-quick, slow.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Stop, stop! This is no good.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Cover your ears!- Waaaah!

0:10:24 > 0:10:29Why, oh, why, oh, why did I ever agree to dance with you?!

0:10:29 > 0:10:32That is it. Really, I'm going!

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Oh, no. How am I ever going to learn to be a dancer

0:10:37 > 0:10:40and dance in the dance competition?

0:10:40 > 0:10:42I just need to keep on practising.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43How does it go again?

0:10:43 > 0:10:47Slow-slow, quick-quick, slow-quick, slow-quick...

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Darling, darling, darling!

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Messy feet don't belong in the dance studio.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56So I, Ms Grace, am going to help you.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58You will? Thank you!

0:10:58 > 0:11:01First of all, we will start with the dance called the waltz.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05You start by making a box-shape with your feet.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Copy me, darling, copy me.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10WALTZ MUSIC PLAYS

0:11:10 > 0:11:12That's it.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Now as you make the box, you count with me.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19One, two, three.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22BOTH: One, two, three. One, two, three.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26- One, two, three. - Perfecto, darling, perfecto!

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Thanks, Ms Grace. Can you teach me more moves so I can learn?

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Then I can enter the competition.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Of course, darling, of course.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36I will get you dance fit in no time.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40I know the doctor says you've got a broken ankle,

0:11:40 > 0:11:43but I still think you could dance with me.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Hello? Hello?

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Ugh! Will I ever find a decent dance partner?

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Look, Roxy!

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I've been practising my dance steps.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57One, two, three.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59One, two, three.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01One, two, three.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03One, two, three. What do you think?

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Will you be my dance partner again?

0:12:05 > 0:12:07'Calling all dancers.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10'The competition starts in five minutes!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12'This is your five-minute call.'

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Fine, I'll dance with you.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Though we better get to the ballroom, and fast.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23Wow!

0:12:23 > 0:12:25This place is spectacular.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29So I'm going to dance here. Oh, I can't wait!

0:12:33 > 0:12:36May I have your attention, please?

0:12:36 > 0:12:40It is with regret that I, Head Judge,

0:12:40 > 0:12:44have to announce that the competition is...

0:12:44 > 0:12:46cancelled!

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Cancelled? No!

0:12:49 > 0:12:50But why?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Well, young man,

0:12:52 > 0:12:56a judge must have ten scorecards to judge the dancers.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58I only have nine.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01A judge can't judge without all ten scorecards.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03These are the rules.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07It is such a pity my number ten scorecard is gone missing.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12Hold on. Did he say his number ten scorecard is missing?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14I know what we can use, do you?

0:13:14 > 0:13:17We can use this. Excuse me!

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Excuse me, you can have this one.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Why, thank you, young man.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Can I have your attention, please?

0:13:28 > 0:13:33I am pleased to announce, the competition is...

0:13:33 > 0:13:35back on!

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Yes! The competition is starting. I'd better go!

0:13:41 > 0:13:46'And now, please welcome champion dancer Roxy Trots

0:13:46 > 0:13:49'and new dance partner Sid Sparkles!'

0:13:49 > 0:13:51That's us! What do we do?

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Stop panicking. It's fine. It's just the introductions.

0:13:55 > 0:14:00All we have to do is smile and walk across the dance floor!

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- AUDIENCE:- Ha, ha, ha!

0:14:06 > 0:14:09What are you doing? Walk properly.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12I can't! My shoes keep slipping on this floor.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14This is the dance floor.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17If you can't walk on it, you can't dance on it.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21If you can't dance on it, we don't stand a chance of winning!

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Oh, no! All of our hard work will be wasted

0:14:23 > 0:14:27if I can't find a way of stopping myself from slipping on the floor!

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Oh, no...

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Hold on. I remember, do you?

0:14:32 > 0:14:36Yes, that's it. Sometimes ballroom dancers put candle wax on the bottom

0:14:36 > 0:14:40of their shoes to stop themselves from slipping on the floor.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42I need to find some candle wax.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Candle wax? Where are you going to get that from?

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Dolly's Dance Shop!

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Oh, it's you again.

0:17:17 > 0:17:23You know, Sid Sparkles, you really are an amazing ballroom dancer!

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Yes. Wow. Well, we did it!

0:17:28 > 0:17:31We'd never have done it without remembering

0:17:31 > 0:17:33everything we needed to know.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Ballroom dancing is not a dance for one person.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Ladies always stand on the right of the man.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45This tradition comes from long ago when men wore swords.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Ballroom dancers sometimes put candle wax on the bottom

0:17:49 > 0:17:54of their shoes to stop them from slipping on the dance floor.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Well, I think it's time we went home.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Bye!

0:18:03 > 0:18:04Bye!

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Hey, Sid, did you have fun?

0:18:12 > 0:18:16Not only did I have fun, but I won a ballroom dancing competition!

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Wow! Well, it sounds like you've had more success than I have.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21No luck jazzing up your outfit?

0:18:21 > 0:18:24No. I've tried everything, I mean everything!

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Hold on, maybe this will help.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yes, thanks, Sid!

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Now I'm ready. I feel all jazzed up.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Just like I did when I was a ballroom dancer.

0:18:35 > 0:18:40Playing ballroom dancers was great fun. What do you like to play?

0:18:40 > 0:18:44Playing bakers is fun. I mix the bowl like this.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50I pretend to climb the big mountain when I'm playing rock climbers.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56I like playing Roman emperor and I wave like this.
