- Hey what up, y'all? It's
your girl, Comfort Fedoke
and I am thrilled to be here a part
of the American Heart Challenge.
So the American Heart Association
and the American Dance Movement
have joined together to bring dance to you
and your school.
And I couldn't be even more excited
to get you up and dancing!
So the American Heart Challenge
is all about feeling good while doing good
and having a little fun
at the same time, right?
So you'll learn always to
keep your heart pumping
while raising money for the
American Heart Association.
See, I think that's a win/win situation.
So the American Heart Challenge
includes many physical
activities, including let's say,
jumping rope, shooting some hoops,
even running some obstacle
courses, which I love by the way.
But now more than I love - can you guess?
Dancing! Of course, it
is so important for you
to get up and get moving and stay healthy.
And what better way to
do that than by dancing?
So, I got a challenge for you.
You ready? Let's get started.
- Make sure you use
the screen as a mirror.
So if I go this way, make
sure you go that way too.
We good? Cool. Let's get started.
