00:06	little different with the S . Class today because I'm

00:13	before we read a story , can you all if
00:17	you don't already have one , go grab a scarf
00:19	or like a long piece of fabric just so we're
00:22	ready to use it for our dance a little bit
00:24	. Okay , can we give you a minute to
00:26	go do that ? And I grab a scar .
00:29	I'm grab a sip of water . There were complications
00:35	. Four . I want to talk to you guys
00:37	today about the story of the Nutcracker and the Nutcracker
00:42	is something that's very special to me because as someone
00:44	who was growing up doing ballet , I was in
00:48	the valley of the Nutcracker for like 10 years in
00:52	a row , I was in that performance , I
00:55	got to play a bunch of different parts and we
00:57	are going to read the story of the nutcracker right
01:00	now . Come on , it was good . Mhm
01:04	. Mhm . Yeah , So we have the nutcracker
01:14	illustrated by Sheila Beckett by reading Bill Dickey . This
01:22	is okay . Once there was a little girl named
01:25	Clara whose family was having a wonderful party on a
01:28	snowy christmas eve merry christmas , she said as she
01:32	agreed with each guest . The last guest to arrive
01:39	was Clara's Godfather Hair drosselmeyer . All the Children loved
01:43	him very much because he was a toy maker and
01:46	a wonderful storyteller . Clara thought he could even perform
01:49	magic merry christmas . Clara he said , presenting her
01:53	with a heavy package merry christmas and thank you ,
01:57	Clara cried , lifting a large wooden nutcracker from the
02:00	wrappings . He looks like a very brave soldier ,
02:03	she said . And so he , he is air
02:06	jostle Meyer replied . Yeah . Just then the musicians
02:13	began to play a lively tune and all the grownups
02:16	began to dance . Clara carried her nutcracker over to
02:20	where her cousins and friends were playing with their new
02:22	toys , holding him carefully , she softly hummed a
02:26	christmas carol . All of a sudden Clara's little brother
02:29	fritz jumped up from behind her chair and grab the
02:31	nutcracker . Oh so you're sneaking up there ? Yeah
02:40	, no for its no . Clara cried chasing him
02:43	soon all the Children were running after fritz . But
02:46	the nutcracker was very heavy and fritz was a very
02:48	little boy . The nutcracker crashed to the floor and
02:51	he broke . Clara sadly picked up her injured nutcracker
02:55	and showed him to draw some ire . Why Clara
02:59	? He said , tying his handkerchief from around the
03:01	nutcrackers broken jaw . Many good good soldiers get hurt
03:05	in battle . This will be his bandage and you
03:08	will be his nurse . And he wiped her tears
03:10	away and handed the nutcracker back to her . Mhm
03:17	. Clara was a good little nurse . She gently
03:19	tuck the nutcracker into the doll's bed she had received
03:22	as a christmas present . She stayed by his side
03:25	until all the guests had gone home . Then she
03:28	kissed him good night and went to bed . But
03:31	Clara could not stop thinking about her nutcracker . So
03:33	back downstairs she crept and lifted him from the little
03:37	bed . Then she curled up on the sofa and
03:40	fell asleep with the nutcracker in her arms . Shut
03:43	up . Mhm . While Clara was sleeping , Air
03:49	jostle . Meyer came into the room . He quietly
03:52	took the handkerchief off the nutcrackers jaw and gently waved
03:56	over Clara and her new toy . Suddenly the nutcracker
03:59	was transformed into a handsome prince standing guard over Clara
04:03	while she slept . All right . Later that night
04:10	Clara woke up the house , the tree and the
04:13	toys seem to be getting larger . Tremendous mice were
04:16	running all over the room and then she saw the
04:19	prince bravely battling a mouse wearing a crown . Leave
04:22	him alone ! Clara shouted at the wicked mice .
04:25	She jumped off the sofa and through her slipper at
04:27	the Mouse King , hitting him squarely on the head
04:30	. He fell to the floor and the other mice
04:32	ran off carrying their leader . Thank you for your
04:38	help . Clara said the Prince , picking up the
04:41	crown that had fallen from the Mouse King's head .
04:43	I would like to invite you to the Land of
04:45	the Sweets to meet the sugar sugar plum fairy who
04:48	is ruling there . Until I return . The prince
04:51	placed the crown upon Clara's head and her nightgown changed
04:54	into a beautiful shimmering dress . Together . They stepped
04:58	outside . The falling snow , whist around them in
05:01	a pretty white dance as they traveled in a magical
05:04	sleigh to the beautiful land of Sweets . Yeah when
05:09	Clara and the prince arrived they were greeted by the
05:11	beautiful sugar plum fairy . The prince told her about
05:15	the battle with the giant mice and how Clara had
05:17	saved him from the mouse King . Hooray for Clara
05:20	! Cried the people from the Land of Sweets .
05:22	They let Clara to the princess and the prince to
05:25	to candy cane Thrones and they began a celebration performing
05:29	beautiful dances that lasted long into the evening , spanish
05:35	dancers celebrated chocolate flour furies performed a waltz and Russian
05:40	dancers did a splendid candy cane dance , jumping high
05:43	into the air . Yeah , at the end of
05:51	the evening the sugar plum fairy twirled gracefully with her
05:54	cavalier Clara's side as she watched the beautiful dance .
06:01	Mhm . Now we must depart . The prince told
06:05	Clara , but one day we will return to land
06:08	to the Land of the Sweets . as the two
06:10	rode off in their magical sleigh . Clara felt that
06:13	she was in a beautiful dream of a christmas eve
06:15	. She would never forget the all right , you
06:21	guys . So today we are actually going to be
06:24	learning the dance of the Russian candy canes . Okay
06:29	, so let's stand up and I hope you guys
06:34	have your scarves ready . And for now we're just
06:36	gonna keep our scars on our necks and then they're
06:39	gonna come in a little bit later to the dance
06:41	. Okay , so we're gonna start with our hands
06:43	on our side , our feet are together and then
06:46	right when the music starts , we're gonna jump and
06:49	pose and freeze and then we're gonna switch and imposing
06:53	, freeze and then we're gonna jump with their feet

07:06	in post and freeze and repeat it again . Do
07:09	our kicks awesome . And then okay , so we

07:22	think that's when we take our scarves off and run
07:25	in a circle and we you guys can just kind
07:28	of do whatever you want with it , we can
07:32	keep kicking our legs running in our circle until the

07:41	and switch and switch and we're coming up a little
07:45	bit higher switch and get faster and faster and faster
07:51	. Okay , let's take that from the top one
07:53	more time . So we're gonna start with our hands
07:55	on our sides , are scarves on our neck and
07:58	we're gonna jump impose jumping pubs and kick and kick

08:47	circle with our scars running around . Okay ? And
08:53	then we get to the front of the circle ,
08:55	we're gonna change it . We're gonna kind of slice
08:58	our arms in front of us and kick our legs

09:06	they dance when you're handed kink and you guys can
09:09	switch to go backwards and forwards , hey backwards and

09:19	. And then at the end we jump impose and
09:21	you guys can throw your spark and that's a little
09:24	dance . All right . So , this may be
09:28	a little bit easier with music . I'm gonna do
09:31	it once by myself and then I think I'm gonna
09:34	have some special guests joining me for the end .
