00:00Hey there!
00:30Oh, my god.
00:31Please hurry up.
00:33Don't miss the good things that we planned.
00:36So come and let's play together in the bright sunny weather.
00:39Let's all go to Gullah, Gullah, Island.
00:45Gullah, Gullah, Island.
00:46Gullah, Gullah, Island.
00:49Gullah, Gullah, Island.
00:50Hi, glad you could come.
01:01Today is the first day that Shana's taking dance class with Vanessa.
01:05Shana was so excited when she left home this morning.
01:07I thought she was going to jump right out of those dance shoes.
01:10They should be back any minute.
01:12I can't wait to see how it went.
01:14Hi, Miss Natalie.
01:15Hey there, Jessica.
01:16Are Vanessa and Shana home?
01:18No, but they should be back any minute.
01:20You want to sit here on the porch with me?
01:21Sure.
01:26I was at the library this morning,
01:27and I got a new book that I want to show Vanessa.
01:30Where did she go?
01:32She went to her African dance class.
01:34Oh, I'm not so good at dancing.
01:36Really? That surprises me.
01:37I always thought you were a pretty good dancer.
01:39Oh, no, not me.
01:41I always mess up.
01:42I know what you mean.
01:43I have the same problem.
01:45I'm never sure where to put my feet.
01:46But, hey, it doesn't stop me.
01:48I love to dance.
01:50Oh, hey, they're here.
01:51Come on.
01:55Mom, dance class was so much fun.
01:58We learned a new dance today that goes like this.
02:00Bunga, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:03That's wonderful.
02:05Let's show everybody the dance we learned how to do today.
02:08Okay.
02:09I'm ready.
02:10I'm ready.
02:11How does it go?
02:12Not like that.
02:19Hi, Vanessa.
02:20Jessica, hi.
02:22Want to see the new book I just got from the library?
02:25Yeah, but after I teach you how to do this dance.
02:28Nah, that's okay.
02:30I'd rather read my book.
02:32Come on, Jessica.
02:33You can read that story in your time.
02:35I really don't feel like it.
02:37Okay.
02:38If you're a chicken, bye-bye, bye-bye.
02:41Oh, James.
02:43James, if Jessica wants to read her book, let her.
02:45And stop the teasing.
02:47Okay.
02:48Ready to dance?
02:49Yeah.
02:49Yeah, let's do it.
02:51You can get up and dance, too.
02:52Come on.
02:53This song is called Funga Alafia.
02:57It's a song of welcome.
02:58Now, all we have to do is move our body to the rhythm.
03:03James, give me a beat.
03:14With my thoughts, I welcome you.
03:18With my words, I welcome you.
03:21With my heart, I welcome you.
03:25Yeah!
03:26Let's keep it going now.
03:27Okay, I'm ready now.
03:29Let's do it all together.
03:31One, two, three!
03:33Bunga Alafia.
03:34Ashe, ashe.
03:36Bunga Alafia.
03:38Ashe, ashe.
03:39Bunga Alafia.

04:44Ashe ashe
04:48That was a fantastic dance.
05:02You're welcome, Aunt Natalie.
05:03You're welcome.
05:05Shayna, let's go change out of our dance clothes.
05:07Okay.
05:16Hello.
05:18Hey, look who's here.
05:19Hi.
05:20Hola.
05:22Hi, Jessica.
05:23Hi.
05:24We heard all the drumming and couldn't resist coming over.
05:28Vanessa and Shayna showed us how to do an African song of welcome.
05:31Wow, it's beautiful.
05:33I love that beat.
05:34Thanks, Miss Warner.
05:35Would you like me to teach you a dance that I've known since I was a little girl?
05:40More dancing?
05:41It's called salsa.
05:43Salsa?
05:44I thought that was that spicy stuff you put on tortilla chips.
05:47Well, they have the same name because the dance is spicy, too.
05:53Ooh, spicy dancing.
05:54You have to teach us that one.
05:56Oh, yes, I will.
05:57How does the beat go?
05:59Oh, the beat is beautiful.
06:00It goes like this.
06:01Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
06:06Too bad we don't have maracas.
06:08Then we could really show you the beat the right way.
06:10We can make some.
06:11How?
06:12Oh, we needed some paper cups and seeds to rattle inside.
06:15That's a great idea, James.
06:17Why don't we see what I've got in the workshop?
06:18Okay.
06:19We'll be back.
06:20We wouldn't start without you.
06:25Okay.
06:25You hold the cups and I'll pour in the seeds, okay?
06:33You know, James, it wasn't really nice of you to call Jessica names.
06:36Names?
06:37What names?
06:38Ba, ba, ba.
06:40But she is a chicken.
06:42She's afraid to dance.
06:43Well, maybe she is shy about dancing, but do you think calling her a chicken is going to help
06:48her get over her shyness?
06:49Hmm.
06:50I guess not.
06:51No, it won't.
06:53It'll just make it harder for her to try because she'll be afraid you make fun of her.
06:56Now, isn't that so?
06:58You're right, Mom.
06:59Maybe I can figure out how to help her.
07:02Well, that's my boy.
07:03Hand me a piece of tape, okay?
07:07Okay.
07:08We'll just wrap the tape around like this.
07:13And voila!
07:16That sounds great!
07:17Sounds like the real thing.
07:19I know how to help Jessica.
07:21How?
07:21Binya, binya.
07:22What about him?
07:23If anyone can get Jessica dancing, it's that hip-hop Pollywog.
07:27Why don't you go find him, then?
07:28I'm going.
07:29Okay.
07:32Jessica, don't you want to salsa with us?
07:35No, thank you, Miss Wana.
07:37I don't like dancing.
07:39Oh, that's too bad.
07:41All right, let's salsa.
07:43Hey, listen to that.
07:45It sounds pretty good.
07:46Thank you, thank you.
07:47Why don't you take one?
07:48Gracias.
07:48Can I use another one?
07:50Sure, here you go.
07:53All right!
07:54That's beautiful.
07:55Now we're ready to salsa.
07:58Salsa is a very easy dance.
08:00So you just follow along and do what we do.
08:04Okay, now everybody, start with your feet together.
08:08Okay?
08:08Feet together.
08:10Good.
08:11Take a little step forward and feet together again.
08:15Like this.
08:15Hold on, I messed up.
08:23See, Jessica, even Ron messes up sometimes and he's a terrific dancer.
08:29Ha!
08:30Salsa caliente.
08:33Caliente?
08:34Caliente.
08:35It's hot.
08:35Yeah!
08:36Hot salsa.
08:37All right, keep your arms and feet moving, just like this.
08:43Ha!
08:43Good!
08:49A bailar!
08:51This kind of music that we call salsa, it's gonna make you dance.
09:05It's gonna tease you, it's gonna please you, if you just give it a chance.
09:13And when the congas play, it's gonna take you away.
09:25Salsa's the rhythm moving inside you.
09:30Come on and let yourself go.
09:34One step, then two steps, forward and backward.
09:40Just let your body flow.
09:43Easy when you know how.
09:50Hey, I think you've got it now.
09:56A bailar!
09:59Ha!

12:05No, I went up and down the beach searching for a partner for you
12:09And here he is
12:11Thanks anyway, but I don't like to dance
12:19I always mess up
