Part 1: Munchkidland
(TRT: 37 minutes)
Beginner
Skill Level
Our adventure
begins when Dorothys 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!

(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!
