Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	At Finders Keepers, Big Bird is about to mention today's sponsors when Ruthie suddenly feels like dancing to the tango music they overhear from Celina's dance studio above them. She puts a rose in her mouth and dances with Big Bird while he mentions the sponsors, but Ruthie sees there isn't much room in her store to tango. She and Big Bird dance their way up to Celina's studio instead...
 	SCENE 1 	Ruthie and Big Bird make their way into the studio during the tango lesson Celina is giving, entering the circle she and the kids (including Carlo) have made and ending with a grand flourish. When the music stops, Celina applauds them and says they can come by any time. She mentions that while the tango lesson is over, there are other dances she can teach them. Ruthie claims to be proficient in all of them, demonstrating her moves for ballet, tap, the jitterbug, samba, African dance, the waltz, and even modern dance. Big Bird asks Ruthie which class she'd like to take, but she's now so exhausted she falls asleep in Celina's arms!
