Fred takes ballet lessons after he sees a TV commercial which says that ballet could help his bowling game. He enrolls in the Bedrock Dance Studio in order to regain his lost timing before the big bowling match against the Rockland Rockets.

Teaser Sequence: Ms. Cobblehov tells Fred to stretch in ballet class. He stretches until he gets his leg stuck. Ms. Cobblehov tells Fred to put down his leg, but he can't, it won't go down. She tells him he got a leg cramp and she helps Fred put his leg down. Fred sticks up to the right side of Ms. Cobblehov telling her the other way was better. She puts him back down and his leg still sticks. She tells Fred that he was right.
