you need two things. A cleanup crew and a choreographer. - A choreo-what you s
ay? - A choreographer is the person
that puts a dance together, and shows people moves
for everybody to do. - Oh, so we don't bump into each other? - Well, yeah. - Good idea. - Well, I would gladly
be the choreographer, but I am already the
director and the editor and the camera person and
the social media manager. It is just too much. Where are we gonna find a choreographer? - Well, we just need
somebody who loves to dance. (cheerful music) And you know, has some creative ideas. (jazzy music) -
What about Zoe? - What'd I do? - We want you to be our
choreo, what was it? - Choreographer. - Choreographer.
- Choreographer. - Really? You guys want me to be your choreographer? - Well, sure! - Well, okay! Ha! Okay guys, I got the perfect dance for us, and it goes a little something like this. Do a little this. Uh-huh, and then we do this, and then some of this for fun. And then, oh yeah. And then big finish. Ha ha! Ta-da! What do you think? - Um.
- Great, love it, beautiful. We're losing the
light, let's do this! - No, wait. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. - Yeah, Elmo neither. - Oh, well that's not good. - Well, that's all right. (Nina speaking in foreign language) Part of the choreographer's job is to teach everybody the dance moves. - Oh, okay. Well, here's how the first part goes. - Okay. - First, you floppy hop this way, and then you floppy hop that way. Let's do it together. - [Group] Floppy hop this
way and loppy hop that way. - Yeah. - By George, I think I'm getting i

Oh. - 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? - 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 m
uscles moving and it's lots of fun. - Wow, that does look like fun. - It is. Oh, gotta boogie. I'm late for my ballet class. See ya, Elmo. - Thank you, Smarty. Bye, bye! (Elmo laughing) Boy, there's so many
different kinds of dances. Hey, that gives Elmo and idea. Let's play a game together. Yeah, come on, come on. (cheerful music) 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] Oh, so the bunny
slippers must go on this person. - [Child] But that's not a dancer. - Oh, she's not a dancer. Ooh, unless she's dancing the bunny hop. Wow! Boy, so many people
like to dance, and that makes Elmo wonder even more. Does Mr. Noodle like to dance? Let's ask him. - Hi, Mr. Noodle. - [Children] Hi, Mr. Noodle! - Hi, Mr. Noodle! Mr. Noodle, do you like to dance? You do? Oh boy, show us how you dance, Mr. Noodle. What? Wait a minute. Is that how you dance, Mr. Noodle. - [Children] No. That's not dancing, you're eating. - [Elmo] That's not a dance, Mr. Noodle.

(shoes squeaking) - [Child] Dance is moving
around and shaking. - [Child] Dance is colorful. - [Child] Dancing is like
showing your emotions, and how you really feel. - [Child] I like to dance
because it makes me really happy. - [Child] I don't like to dance, because sometimes when I
dance I get kind of shy. - [Child] If you dance,
you can do yoga poses too. - [Child] I dance because
it really helps me get my inner feelings out. - [Child] I like to hula
and we go in the group. - [Child] I like
to dance to soft music, like you might hear in ballet. - [Child] I think a ridiculous dance is like when you have
too much drama in it. (gentle music) - [Child] D is for dance. ♪ Murray has a little lamb ♪ ♪ Yo, Murray has a little

- Yes, Murray? - What is flamenco dance? - Flamenco dance is a style of dance from the southern part of Spain. - What are some of the moves
you do when you do flamenco? - We do some hand clapping called palmas. (dancers clapping rhythmically) We use our feet. We use the whole foot, and we strike
the floor
with the whole foot. And we call that a golpe. - [Murray] Golpe? - [Francesca] Yep, golpe. - Whoa. (person singing in foreign language) What makes Bollywood dancing different other kinds of dancing? - Well, it's a mix of
different styles of dances from all around the world
mixed in with Indian dancing. (smooth music) (Murray laughing) - Irish Step Dancing School! (Ovejita speaking in foreign language) - [Everyone] Yeah! (light cheerful music) - [Murray] Can anybody

are dances from West Africa. They're cultural dances. They tell a story of the
people, their feelings. We're going to learn
a rhythm called sinte. - [Murray] What is sinte? - [Imani] Sinte is a
traditional West African dance from Guinea, and it's done
for rights of passage. - [Murray] Okay. (lively music) - It's your turn now, Murray. - Oh boy, it's my turn! (Murray laughing) Here we go. (people clapping rhythmically) It was worth the wait! I love West African dance,

wondering about today. Wait for it. Wait for it. (Elmo laughing) Dancing! Nice dance moves, Zoe. Boy, Elmo loves dancing and
wants to find out more about it. Hey! Let's ask Elmo's friend, Smarty. Let's call her together. - [Elmo and Children] Oh, Smarty! (light upbeat music) - Hey, look at me, Elmo. Can you tell what I'm doing? Whoa! - Falling down? - N
o. 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? - [Everyone] 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 p
umping,
your muscles moving, and it's lots of fun. - Wow, that does look like fun. - It is. Oh, gotta boogie. I'm late for my ballet class. See ya, Elmo. - Thank you, Smarty. Bye bye! (Elmo laughing) Boy, there's so many
different kinds of dances. Hey, that gives Elmo an idea! Let's play a game together. Yeah, come on, come on! (cheerful music) 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] T
hat one looks like a ballerina. - [Elmo] Do ballerinas wear tap shoes? - [Child] No, they were 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] Oh, so the bunny
slippers must go on this person. - [Child] But that's not a dancer. - Oh, she's not a dancer. Ooh, unless she's dancing the bunny hop. Wow. 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 you dance, Mr. Noodle. What? Wait a minute. Is that how you dance, Mr. Noodle? - [Children] No. - [Child] 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] Do
n't give up. Show us how you dance. - [Elmo] Yeah! That's it! Nice dance moves. - [Child] You're doing it. It's a great dance. - Way to get down with your bad self. (Elmo laughing) (smooth music) Bye bye, Mr. Noodle. Thank you. Boy, learning new thing's
