The documenters of development have clearly never been to ballet basics at Dance Station.
If they had their average would be extremely skewed. This is because whilst it may be relatively easy to stamp down the high street in your trainers, or even stride confidently in heels (if you're an advanced walker that is), as soon as this needs to be done:
1. In time to the music (even if this music is a fabulous new playlist)
2. With arm movements that are not akin to those of a chimpanzee
3. With pointed and turned out feet at all times
It becomes an apparently insurmountable task.
Indeed we seem to have a talent for turning even a simple adage into something far more farcical although I must give credit where it's due - none of us ended up on the floor (something that proves we are improving exponentially) and, I do believe I can explain our seemingly regressive behaviour:
Subliminal messaging can have a large impact on the human psyche (just look at Chandler and the smoking tape - if you don't know what I'm on about SHAME ON YOU) and so I believe that seeing as Alicia Keys was earlier in class leading us to believe we were 'on fire' we forgot how to walk in our understandable haste to run away from the flames lapping at our heels.
Thus, all we need to do is change our soundtrack to include Katrina and the Waves instead and we will be good to go.
And if this still fails we can always take some of that potion that turns you into Mice in 'The Witches' and that will, in the world of Angelina Ballerina at least, solve all our problems.
