- Hi, welcome to Elmo's world.
Guess what Elmo is wondering about today?
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Dancing.
Nice dance moves, Zoe.
Boy, Elmo loves dancing
and wants to find out more about it.
Let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.
Let's call her together.
Oh Smartie.
- Hey look at me Elmo, can
you tell what I'm doing?
- Falling down?
- No, dancing.
And I love dancing.
- Oh well that's perfect because today,
Elmo wants to learn more about dancing.
- Well, what do we do
to learn something new?
- [All] We look it up.
- Searching for dances, here we go.
Oh wow, there are all kinds of dances.
Latin dances,
Caribbean dances,
native American dances,
African dances,
and even crazy made up wacky dances.
You can dance fast.
You can dance slow.
You can dance high.
You can dance low
and dancing is great exercise.
It gets your heart pumping,
your muscles moving.
And it's lots of fun.
- That does look like fun.
- It is.
Gotta boogie, I'm late
for my ballet class.
See you Elmo.
- Thank you Smartie, bye bye.
Boy there's so many
different kinds of dances.
Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
Let's play a game together.
Come on, come on.
Boy, Elmo wonders if we can
match the shoes to the dancers?
Are you ready? Let's play.
Which of these shoes goes
with which of these dancers?
- [Child] That one looks like a ballerina.
- [Elmo] Do ballerinas wear tap shoes?
- [Child] No, they wear ballet shoes.
- [Elmo] Yeah, that's right.
Now what about this guy?
Would he wear bunny slippers?
- [Child] No, he's a tap dancer.
Slippers don't make tapping sound.
- [Elmo] So what kind
of shoes does he wear?
- [Child] Tap shoes.
- [Elmo] So the bunny slippers
must go on this person.
- [Child] But that's not a dancer.
- [Elmo] Oh she's not a dancer.
Unless she's dancing the bunny hop.
Boy, so many people like to dance.
And that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Does Mr. Noodle like to dance?
Let's ask him.
Hey Mr. Noodle.
- [Children] Hi Mr. Noodle.
- Hi Mr. Noodle.
Mr. Noodle, do you like to dance?
You do? Oh boy, show us
how to dance, Mr. Noodle.
What?
Wait a minute, that's not
how you dance Mr. Noodle.
- [Child] No, that's not
dancing, you're eating.
- [Elmo] That's not a dance
Mr. Noodle, try again.
Show us how you dance.
Hey maybe some music would help.
- [Child] Don't give up,
show us how you dance.
- [Elmo] That's it, nice dance moves.
- [Child] You're doing
it, it's a great dance.
- [Elmo] Way to get
down with your bad self.
Bye bye Mr. Noodle, thank you.
Boy, learning new things
makes Elmo so happy.
It makes him want to,
guess what?
Dance!
Come on.
