Sesame Street: What is Dance?

Dance is when you move your body to music and have fun doing it.

Dance is like playing a game with your body. Imagine you're on the floor, and there's music coming from a radio, that’s like the sound of a party. When you start moving, maybe jumping, twirling, or even just wiggling, you're dancing!

Sometimes, when you hear a song you love, it feels like your body wants to move. It's like when you eat something sweet and it makes you happy, the music does that for your whole body.

When you dance, you're drawing shapes in the air with your arms and legs, just like how you draw pictures on paper. Every time you move, you’re making a new picture, and the best part is, it’s not on paper, it's all around you!

So next time you hear music, try moving your body, you might be dancing without even knowing it!
