"Plumbelina" aka Angela Weigel taught kids to plié, arabesque (that's ballet speak for jump), and stretch at Plumb Library on Thursday afternoon.
In her toe shoes, the Rochester ballerina read kids a few ballet-themed books, and then taught kids a simple routine.
Weigel, a 15-year-old who helps teach kids ballet said,"Let's all pretend we're princesses!"
With several girls in tights and tutus, it wasn't hard to pretend.
