00:01Strawberry Shortcake
00:02She's a very bitty girl with very big possibilities
00:05And fruit-filled fun is the secret to her recipe
00:09She may be small, but task is too tall
00:12She'll be at best, but just give her a call
00:15She's a very bitty girl with big possibilities
00:19She may be small, but no task is too tall
00:24For Strawberry Shortcake
00:36Oh, hello Strawberry
00:37Good morning, would anyone like a fruit muffin before our dance rehearsal?
00:42Doesn't look like we're having a dance rehearsal
00:45Oh? Why not?
00:47We can't get inside the studio
00:48Flum isn't answering the door
00:52Maybe she's still asleep
00:54Huh? That's not right
00:56Oh my, that doesn't sound good
01:00Tried that
01:00I don't think she can hear us because of the music
01:08Yes?
01:09Oh, hi everybody
01:11Have you been knocking?
01:12Oh, sorry
01:13I'm just very busy
01:15What can I do for you?
01:16Uh, you called us here for a dance rehearsal
01:20Bright and early?
01:21Is it bright and early already?
01:23I'm afraid so
01:24Oh, would you like a muffin?
01:26Oh, I'm sorry
01:28Come on in
01:30It's just
01:30It's just
01:31I want it to be perfect
01:36Wow
01:39What's all this?
01:41My extra special super duper with a cherry on top dance routine
01:45The one that's gonna beat the big bitty city dance team in this year's dance-off
01:49It looks, um, complicated?
01:53You better believe it
01:55Every year the big bitty city dancers pull up a super complicated routine
02:00But this routine will top them all
02:03Uh, but Plum, the dance-off is only a week away
02:07All this?
02:08Yeah, I don't know
02:10Learn this dance?
02:11All in one week?
02:12We have to
02:13Let me remind you what we're up against
02:15In case you've forgotten the humiliation
02:18The shame
02:19The disappointment of last year's dance-off
02:23Well, it wasn't that bad
02:26I mean, I remember having a lot of fun
02:28If you call losing fun
02:35They're great
02:36Splendid
02:37I can't wait to see what they do this year
02:40Whose side are you on?
02:43Oh, Plum
02:44I think the important thing is that we have a good time
02:47And do our best
02:48That's what I'm talking about
02:50Our best
02:51Our perfectest
02:53Ahem
02:54Uh, perfectest is not a real word
02:57But you might say our perfect best
03:00Well, that's what I am saying then
03:02Our perfect best
03:04We will win
03:06This year, we dance perfect
03:09Perfectly
03:10Perfectly
03:11Thank you, Blueberry
03:13I'm glad you all agree
03:14This is gonna be our year
03:17The year Berry Bitty City takes the dance-off prize
03:20But we can't dance that perfect
03:23Lee, Plum
03:24Oh, we will
03:26Just watch me
03:29Ahem
03:30Music, please
03:31Music, please
03:55See
03:57Nothing
03:59To
04:00It
04:01Um
04:02That's nothing like the dance we did last year
04:06Exactly
04:07We lost last year
04:09Ooh
04:10But the outfits I designed were gorgeous
04:13And I did a triple pirouette
04:16Everyone in the audience cheered for us
04:18It was spectacular
04:19Do you see what's on that shelf?
04:23There isn't anything on this shelf
04:26Except dust
04:29Do you know what should be here?
04:32Uh, a dusting cloth?
04:35No
04:35A dance-off trophy
04:38Plum
04:38I can see how important this is to you
04:41And we're your friends
04:42So you know we're going to do our very best to win that prize
04:47Thank you, Strawberry
04:48Finally, somebody understands
04:50We understand, Plum
04:53It's just...
04:54What if we help you simplify the steps a little?
04:57Yes
04:58For example
04:59This step could be simpler if we did just the first part
05:02Or we could divide up the parts so each of us is doing the steps we're best at
05:05Like I'm really good at kicks and Orange is so good at spins
05:09That's a great idea
05:10But that's not my vision
05:13We have to do this dance
05:14My dance
05:15Or we won't stand a chance
05:18Well
05:19This is important to Plum
05:21Let's give her way a try
05:23All together now
05:24Five, six, seven, eight
05:28No, no, no, no
05:32Hold it, hold it
05:34This foot goes here
05:37This foot is over there
05:39Like so
05:41Up here
05:42And hold it
05:43Just like this
05:44And
05:45Five, six, seven, eight
05:48Oh
05:57Oh
05:58Oh
05:59Oh
06:00Oh
06:01Oh
06:03Oh
06:03Oh
06:03Oh
06:05Oh
06:06Oh
06:07Oh
06:08Oh
06:08Oh
06:09Oh
06:09Oh
06:09Oh
06:10Oh
06:10Oh
06:10Um
06:11Plum
06:12Can we call it a day?
06:14Yeah
06:15Since
06:15It's night
06:17Alright
06:18Alright
06:18Because it's our first rehearsal
06:20I'll keep it short
06:21Oh
06:21But be back here tomorrow
06:23Bright and early
06:24And when you sleep at night
06:26I expect you all to dream
06:28Of the dance
06:32Uh
06:32Do you think Plum's taking this too far?
06:35If you asked my feet about it
06:37They'd say
06:38Yes
06:39Yes
06:39I know
06:41But it means so much to Plum
06:43Besides
06:44It's only for a week
06:46And then comes the dance off
06:48Aww
06:49Six more days of this
06:51Then my toes are gonna fall off
06:55Practice, practice
06:56Not a moment to lose
06:58And
06:59Five, six, seven, eight
07:11Higher
07:13Higher
07:13Higher
07:17And
07:19again
07:24Keep twirling
07:26Keep twirling
07:29Um, plum?
07:31I'm a little dizzy.
07:35Five, six, seven, eight!
07:52This is what I was worried about.
07:54The day before the dance-off, the other dance team is coming,
07:58and we are nowhere near ready.
08:00Uh, plum, it's not whether you win or lose.
08:03It's how you dance the dance.
08:05Huh?
08:07Can I come?
08:12Welcome to Very Bitty City.
08:15We are so very delighted that we can be here to dance
08:18in your always delightful dance-off.
08:20Yeah!
08:27How can we possibly beat them?
08:30We have to work even harder.
08:33And to give us the edge,
08:35I've designed some special additions to the dance.
08:39Oh, no!
08:40More stuff to learn?
08:42But, but we haven't learned the first dance.
08:45I've designed a new hairdo for everyone to wear when we dance.
08:48It'll make us look like a team.
08:51For me, please, could you try it out?
08:55Are you sure this will work?
08:56Of course.
08:58I designed it.
08:59Oh, Raspberry, I've got an exercise to help you with your posture.
09:04Please balance this vase on your head.
09:06And whatever you do, keep it there until tomorrow.
09:10Whoa!
09:12I don't know about this.
09:14We'll have to design a whole new outfit to go with this vase.
09:17Trust me, it'll work.
09:20This is the greatest book ever written about dance.
09:23Please have it read by tomorrow, Blueberry.
09:26I'll try.
09:28Orange, I would appreciate it if you would pick as many Glimmer Berries as possible.
09:33Glimmer Berry Juice is super nutritious and will help give our team mega endurance.
09:38So please get tons.
09:40But tons!
09:41And me?
09:43Just keep practicing, even while you cook.
09:46Please, don't ever stop.
09:51Over twice and under once, then around the side, roots to ends, and back again.
09:59Huh?
10:00My hair!
10:04These new lovely leotards are going to look spectacular.
10:09Whoa!
10:09Oh!
10:10Oh, oh, Bitter Berries.
10:13Uh-oh.
10:22How can I possibly read all of this tonight?
10:35We just had a very large harvest.
10:38Only the Glimmer Berries on top are left, and even our highest ladders cannot reach them.
10:43And there's no higher ladders?
10:50I've got an idea.
10:52Huh?
10:59Just a little higher.
11:02Almost there.
11:03Get this!
11:09You're doing it!
11:17Oh, this is so important to Plum.
11:20And she said time.
11:22So we're going to get time.
11:275, 6, 7, 8.
11:33Here you go!
11:34Jet tape!
11:35And for you!
11:36You're right!
11:37Oh!
11:43By tomorrow, my dancers will be so good, nothing can stop us from winning.
11:54Clothes!
11:55Clothes!
11:55Please go away!
11:56Uh, it's me, Plum.
11:59We have one more rehearsal before the dance-off!
12:01Can't!
12:02Won't!
12:02Impossible!
12:03What?!
12:04But I can't leave the salon!
12:06Maybe ever again.
12:08But why?
12:09Remember your new team hairdo?
12:12Heh, great idea, wasn't it?
12:15I can't be seen in public!
12:16People will run screaming!
12:19It's not so bad.
12:23Okay, maybe it is.
12:25I'm sorry, Plum, but I'm sure it'll work out much better without me.
12:29But, but, there has to be a way.
12:32Is there anything I can do?
12:34Yeah.
12:35Bring me an extra-large paper bag to put over my head.
12:39I'll just have to re-plan the dance a bit.
12:45Coming!
12:46Okay, Plum.
12:48Ready, willing, and able to dance-off.
12:51What's that noise?
12:54Oh, no!
12:55I'm sorry, Plum, but it fell off my head, and I stepped in it, and it's stuck!
13:00Well, we have to get it unstuck.
13:11I have a better idea.
13:17Why, Raspberry, what are you wearing on your foot?
13:22Her new dance shoe.
13:24Looks like a ball.
13:28Oh, I'm sorry, Plum,
13:30but I'm sure it will work out better without me.
13:36But, but...
13:37Okay, okay.
13:39Stay calm.
13:40I still have three other dancers.
13:44I read the whole book, Plum.
13:46It took me all night, but I did it.
13:49But now my eyes are so tired.
13:52I can't see straight.
13:54Okay, how many fingers am I holding up?
13:57Are you sure that's your hand?
13:59I thought it was your foot.
14:02Wow!
14:04I asked for tons, and I got tons!
14:07This is great, Orange!
14:09Uh, Orange?
14:16Orange?
14:18Thanks for mashing all the glimmer berries into juice, but aren't you gonna come dance?
14:22No!
14:23Why?
14:24What's wrong?
14:28What happened?
14:30I got some on me.
14:32Oh, I've been washing and washing what it's gonna take until tomorrow to get these stains out.
14:38But...
14:39But the dance-off is today!
14:45Hi, Plum!
14:46Your feet.
14:47What happened to your feet?
14:49Uh, all that dancing while cooking you wanted me to do?
14:52Oh, it gave me blisters on my feet.
14:56I can't dance.
14:57I'm sorry, Plum.
14:59But at least the other girls can dance.
15:01No, they can't either.
15:04What?
15:05I've lost my A-team.
15:07What am I gonna do?
15:10Hmm...
15:11What about your B-team?
15:13B-team?
15:14B as in barrikins.
15:17B as in bad dancers, you mean.
15:19They were on our team last year, remember?
15:22I think that's part of the reason why we lost.
15:25But Plum...
15:26Remember, barrikins have different skills.
15:29So you might want to modify the dance a bit to suit them.
15:34Well...
15:35I'll try it.
15:36I don't know what else I've got to lose.
15:41And...
15:41Five, six, seven, eight!
15:46Together!
15:47Stay together!
15:49On the beat!
15:50On the beat!
15:56Stand still!
15:57Not on your head!
16:04Stop!
16:05Stop!
16:06Please!
16:06You've got it all wrong!
16:08No!
16:08That is not the way my dance is!
16:12It's just about time for the dance-off, everyone.
16:17The dance-off?
16:19Now?
16:21Welcome, everyone, to the annual Berry Bitty City Dance-Off.
16:26Featuring the Big Bitty City Dancers
16:28versus the Berry Bitty City Dancers.
16:38Our distinguished panel of judges will decide the winners.
16:43First up, the Big Bitty City Dancers.
16:47We've got a big win, right?
16:47as we do as we own.
17:00We are not going to be the winners.
17:01What?
17:02We're not going to be the winners!
17:06We will see them!
17:07We're not going to be the winners!
17:15Ah!
17:24Oh, what a wonderful dance by the Big Bitty City Dancers.
17:29And now for a short intermission before the very Bitty City Dancers begin.
17:36I can't go on.
17:38We can never be that perfect.
17:40It would just be too humiliating for me.
17:46For you, what would it be for the Berrykins?
17:49What? The Berrykins?
17:52And what would it be for all of Berry Bitty City who pitched in to help put on this dance
17:56-off?
17:56Um, but...
17:58And what about the other girls who rehearsed your dance?
18:00Everyone worked so hard for you.
18:02But all look silly!
18:04Maybe. Maybe not.
18:07But this dance-off has to do with all of Berry Bitty City.
18:10And our guest, the Big Bitty City Dance Team, too.
18:13Not just you, Plum.
18:15Those dancers came all this way to dance for us.
18:19And to see us dance as well.
18:21But we dance like we dance.
18:24The Berrykins are different.
18:26Why not let them dance the way they dance best?
18:29Wouldn't that be more fun for them?
18:33You're right.
18:34I haven't been making this fun for anyone.
18:38Berrykin dancers?
18:40What kind of dance steps would you like to do?
18:44Oh, we go build a tower.
18:46Do some leapfrogging.
18:47Bouncing!
18:49All right, everyone.
18:50Those are all great ideas.
18:52What do you think?
18:54Yeah!
18:57Let's dance.
18:58But don't do it my way.
19:01Let's do it our way.
19:03Let's have some fun.
19:04Yeah!
19:05Yay!
19:07And now for our second group of dancers.
19:10From your very own Berry Bitty City.
19:13The Berry Bitty City Dancers!
19:37They're dancing.
19:42Dance, dance, dance!
19:45Dance, dance, dance, dance!
20:05Uh-oh.
20:14Such imagination! Such diversity of form! Never have we seen a dance like that before!
20:21Yeah! All right!
20:31Lovely.
20:33Now, although this is a friendly contest, we do have to choose a winner.
20:39And it is the decision of the judges that for originality, teamwork and enthusiasm, the winners are...
20:49The Berry Bitty City Dancers!
20:59I guess their way isn't the only way to dance well.
21:02You're right, Strawberry! Everyone's ideas, yours, the other girls, and the Berry Kids.
21:08They all made for a better dance!
21:12Just wait till next year, I'll design an even better dance, with everyone's ideas in it!
21:18And my only rule? It has to be fun!
21:22And five, six, seven, eight!
21:36There's something going on beyond the walls of Doc's Workshop.
21:40A hidden world filled with fraggles, and doozers, and gores.
21:45Gotcha!
21:46And you're invited!
21:47Let the music play, down in Fraggle Rock!
21:50Dance your cares away with your friends at Fraggle Rock!
21:53Coming up next, at The Hub, where fraggles and fun come together!
