- You know, right? / - We need good equipment.
That's why this is important.
(Yoonah and Sungeun are shopping for equipment.)
It's so nice to be a girl, right?
- I know. / - Look at this.
- Can you believe it? / - It's adorable.
Is this called a leotard?
Yes, a leotard.
(A skin-tight one-piece garment)
(It looks like a swimsuit.)
- To wear this... / - It's embarrassing.
- Of course. /- But,
- ballerinas... / - They all say that at first.
- Isn't this worn without any underwear? / - Yes.
What about panties? Do you wear those?
- What? / - Normally, you don't.
- Is that so? / - However,
amateur dancers or students still wear them.
- Don't they wear them during shows? / - No.
- I didn't know that. / - Me neither.
Many of my friends who have
watched the show want to try ballet too.
They're all terrified about wearing this though.
As you know, most of them are moms,
so they're scared of dancing only in these.
As for beginners,
it's best to wear a sleeveless leotard.
It's easier to check your posture
and the way your muscles move.
- To do it right, we need one too. / - That's right.
There's a reason why Jiwon wears what she does.
- She... / - She doesn't need to check anything.
- We do though. / - So we need a leotard.
- We shouldn't even wear skirts. / - No.
We should just wear the leotard.
We still need to look appropriate on TV though.
What about the skirts? What are they called again?
- Tutu? / - It's called a tutu.
(Sungeun wore a ballet skirt at her last performance.)
- What is the exact pronunciation? / - Tutu.
Keep in mind that it's French.
- Did you hear that? / - I did.
- It's hard to pronounce. / - I thought it was tutu.
- That's right. / - I guess we were wrong.
The classical tutu is one that's short and spread out.
- Is that the classical tutu? / - This one
- is the romantic tutu. / - It comes down to the shins.
- I see. / - It's also bell-shaped.
Aren't these skirts usually worn by ballet instructors?
These rehearsal skirts are mostly worn
- during rehearsals. / - I get it now.
- I see. / - Beginners should stick
to skirts that are short though.
- That's right. / - We need to see our legs.
Of course.
- We want to look pretty though. / - I know.
You should wear outfits that show off your lines.
In terms of shoes, can we just wear anything?
These are what you wear in practice.
- What's this? / - Is this leather?
- Practice shoes... / - These are what we wear.
These or these.
It can either be fabric or leather.
The best shoes for beginners are these
with one long leather sole.
I heard that these aren't worn anymore.
I've never seen shoes like these before.
Really? Come to think of it, I think I wore
shoes like these when I started to dance.
Since we're not completely beginners,
we should wear these.
These aren't flexible enough.
- These are for absolute beginners. / - Right.
Jiwon even has those. What's that?
That's right. I'm curious too.
(Jiwon wears them before every practice session.)
We all just want to be like her.
Do these keep our feet warm?
That's why she wears them while stretching.
We need these to warm up as well.
Hold on. Let's wait until it's much colder.
We'll be broke at this rate.
(We'll be broke at this rate.)
Can you help me choose what I should wear?
(Yoonah and Sungeun now look for their outfits.)
(They're both busy shopping.)
We'll try these on.
Can you step out first?
You come out first. Mine's more revealing.
Come on out.
Yoonah?
Doesn't she look amazing?
- You look amazing. / - You do too.
- Do I? / - I love the lace detail in the back.
Also, pink is a good color for you.
Do you see how my shoulders are slightly caved in?
My lines used to be prettier,
but now they're not so nice to look at.
That's why I need to do ballet.
It's the same for all women.
- Women need to do ballet. / - That's right.
Seeing the barre makes me want to do splits.
Then go ahead.
You should know that she's the least flexible member.
- Do the shrimp bend. / - I don't want to.
- Why not? / - It's the move I'm worst at.
- It is. / - Then show me your best move.
I could lift my leg in the air.
Yes, go ahead. Show me.
I practiced yesterday and the day before that.
My gosh.
(Elegant)
- Oh my. / - See?
No way. That's unbelievable.
I practiced a lot since
- my nerves get the best of me on TV. / - Let me.
(Stiff Sungeun tries the split too.)
- You already look hilarious. / - Really?
You're doing it!
(How can this be?)
(Trembling)
I can't hold it.
I couldn't help myself from falling.
My body just kept leaning over.
- Did I do it though? / - If you think about it,
there aren't much you can't do.
- Why do I look funny though? / - Exactly.
(Everything she does is hilarious.)
- You can do it though. / - You looked incredible.
Meanwhile, I kept on leaning to the side.
Why can't I look elegant?
-You're doing it. / - I can't hold it.
(I can't hold it.)
(She needs to work harder.)
- Just hold it. / - It needs more practice.
I know.
Now that I have a pretty frock on,
I'm dying to do some ballet.
- Me too. / - Let's promise to look pretty
- at the next practice. / - Sure.
(New outfits have them motivated.)
