Gymnast series

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