(Ballet music playing as Dora & her dance class are warming up backstage)
Dora: (to the viewer) ¡Hola, soy Dora! Today is a really special day for my dance class. We're going to have a big dance show for all our friends and families. Do you like to dance?
(Viewer responds "Yes")
Dora: I love to dance, and I get to start our show today.
[She opens the curtain halfway to see her family in the audience]
Dora: Look, there's my family! Ooh, I really want them to see my dance.
Boots: Dora! Dora! Are you ready to start the show? Are you ready? Are you ready?
Dora: (giggles) Almost, Boots. We're just waiting for the delivery truck to come and bring us our dance slippers. We can't start the show without our dance slippers.
(music playing)
Both: The Delivery Duck!
Delivery Duck: Delivery from the dance school.
[Dora gets the package and opens it; but the delivery is scuba flippers, not dance slippers.]
Dora: ¡Ay, no! (to the viewer) Are these dance slippers?
(Viewer responds "No")
Dora: No, these are scuba flippers!
Dance Teacher: ¡Se equivoco! The Delivery Duck must have left our box of slippers at our dance school by mistake!
Kids: Oh, no!
Girl: ¡Esas no son las zapatillas!
Boy #1: How are we going to dance?!
Boy #2: We need our dance slippers!
Boots: Dora, your class can't dance in scuba flippers.
Dora: No se preocupen. I'll go get our slippers!
[Dora's class cheers as she and Boots take off]
Boots: Everyone really wants to see the show. We need to get the dance slippers fast.
Dora: Really, really fast, Boots! We need to find the quickest way to the dance school. Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?
(Viewer responds "Map")
Dora: The Map, right! You have to say "Map!"
(Viewer responds "Map")
Dora: Louder!
Dora and Boots: Map!
[Map zooms into the air]

Hill, Barn, Dance School. Hill, Barn, Dance School! Now you tell Dora: first you go to the hill.
Dora: Where do we go first?
(The cursor clicks the hill)
Dora: The hill. ¡Correcto! Bunny Hop Hill. Is bunny hop hill on the left path or the right path?
(The cursor clicks the right path)
Dora: The right path. Correcto. Come on. We need to get the slippers…
Boots: So Dora can start the dance show.
Dora: ¡Vamonos! Let's go!
Boots: Ooh, I can't wait to see you dance, Dora.

That's not good.
Boots: How are we going to open the door and get through bunny hop hill, Dora?
Bunny: I know!
Boots: Who said that, Dora?
Bunny: Me!
Dora: Hey, it's a bunny. Hi, bunny.
Bunny: Hello. To get through Bunny Hop Hill, you're going to have to open three doors.
Boots: Three doors? But this one won't open.
Bunny: To get the doors to open, you have to play "follow the bunny."
- Follow the bunny?
- Yeah, it's like follow the leader,
Only I'm the leader,
So it's follow the bunny.
- [Laughing]
Follow the bunny? That's funny!
