In the 1970s, a series of eight segments on Sesame Street featured a young female gymnast; she had long blond hair and wore a long-sleeved navy-blue leotard. These segments were mostly each about 20-30 seconds or so in length and featured a variety of music (usually mellow) in the background. The gymnast used various gymnastic apparat to demonstrate certain concepts. She first appeared in Season 4 and appeared on a regular recurring basis until Season 14.
