Part 1: Munchkidland
(TRT: 37 minutes)
Beginner Skill Level

Our adventure begins when Dorothy’s house is caught in a cyclone. As the storm tosses her and everything else into disarray, Dorothy begins teaching the importance of a clean room and good personal hygiene. Dorothy then meets the Lizard of Oz, who is a librarian from the University of Oz, and soon realizes that she has landed in a very unusual place---Munch"kid"land. She learns from the Lizard that long ago the Nice Witch threw a terrible tantrum because she couldn't skip down the Yellow Brick Road. The Nice Witch locked up her magic silver exercise shoes Archie and Lefty, and then cast a spell of lazy rain over the Land of Oz, so that no one would ever want to play or exercise again. So Dorothy, a fitness expert from Kansas, declares it her mission to make the Land of Oz healthy and happy again. Mayor Boz of Munchkidland presents Dorothy with the magic silver exercise shoes to wear on her journey, as she and the Lizard set off in search of the Great Oz!


Part 2: The Yellow Brick Road
(TRT: 41 minutes)
Intermediate Skill Level

As Dorothy travels down the Yellow Brick Road, she meets Scarecrow who teaches us about flexibility. Furthermore, we learn that Scarecrow wants his brain to be as flexible as his body, so he joins Dorothy in search of his own goal---to learn how to read. Later they meet Tinkid, who wants a heart so he can be nice and make friends. While Tinkid has spent many hours sculpting every muscle in his body, he doesn't have the most important muscle---the heart. Finally, they meet Lion, who is afraid of all kinds of things. Lion joins the others in search of courage to go along with his superior strength. Only then can he become a worthy leader to the animals of the forest. So Dorothy and her new friends join together as a team in search of their goals: Scarecrow---to learn how to read; Tinkid---to make friends; Lion---to become a courageous leader; and Dorothy---to make the Land of Oz healthy and happy again!




 

Part 3: The Emerald City
(TRT: 46 minutes)
Advanced Skill Level

When Dorothy and her friends approach The Emerald City, they learn how to work together in harmony to open the magnificent gates. Unfortunately, upon meeting the Great Oz himself, they discover that he also was caught in the lazy rain and has not exercised in some time. Refusing to give up on their goals, they set off to find the wicked Ice Witch (formerly known as the Nice Witch) in the Great Northern Gardens. Through teamwork and problem solving, they lift the curse of the Ice Witch. Dorothy then teaches her how to skip, and the “Ice” Witch becomes the “Nice” Witch once again. Realizing the dangerous impact of her temper tantrum long ago, the Nice Witch returns with Dorothy and the others to help the Great Oz, who is still caught under the terrible spell. In the end, Munchkidland and The Emerald City come alive again, and Dorothy and her friends achieve their goals and reap the rewards of their hard work!
