Description:
It takes discipline and practice to do things well. That’s a message viewers hear all throughout the Neighborhood series, and especially in this program with Mister Rogers’ visit with young ballet dancers of the Dance Theatre of Harlem. After watching their class, he talks about the hard work that it takes to be dancers – and the reward that comes from that. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe Lady Elaine realizes that dance can be about all kinds of feelings, so she changes the name of her “Always Happy Dance Studio” to “Sometimes Happy Dance Studio.”
Parenting tip: Play different kinds of music on the radio or on a CD -- jazz, rock, classical -- and encourage your child to dance according to the music and rhythm.
