[Episode Title] Panda.

DESCRIPTION: Clay-coloured leaves on bright blue bamboo stems decorate opposite sides of a stage. On the stage, two white rabbits wearing matching yellow tutus perform a dance. The two rabbits bend their knees as they bounce up and down. They jump twice, then they side step to their left and stick out their tails.

[Singing]

DESCRIPTION: Next, the two rabbits hop backwards across the stage while holding up their front paws. They face forward, then they jump up and shake from side to side. The stage vibrates as the two rabbits continue to dance.
