Peppa Pig: Daddy, George, I’m going to show you how to do ballet.
Daddy Pig: Is it difficult?
Peppa Pig: It was easy for me, but you, George and Mummy will find it very hard. First, we need music.
(Peppa Pig turns on the music.)
Peppa Pig: Good. Now, George, Daddy and Mummy, you must copy what I do. Madame Gazelle used funny words, but really it’s just bending your knees and jumping.
(Peppa Pig jumps)
Daddy Pig: Ah, the petit-jete.
Peppa Pig: Daddy, you know the funny words.
Daddy Pig: Mummy Pig and I used to be quite good at ballet.

(Peppa and George clap)
Peppa Pig: Silly Daddy Pig.

Peppa Pig: Yes, I am the best at it.
Peppa Pig: I am a beautiful swan. Snort!
