1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,200

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: it always says, why don't you dance so more? There's

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: energy inside of you everyone as a kid, and when

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: you see kids moving around like they're getting energy out,

00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,840

00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: had cool music like disco or popp or even rock.

53
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: Dance Studio, can you play a disco song for us?

54
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 3: Will do?

55
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: By the way Glee ran for six seasons, you could

56
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: make a dance athon with all their songs.

57
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's a great idea. What, Emily, why don't

Speaker 2: we do a dan pathon who?

59
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: I like the sound of that. But what is it? Emily?

60
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: It's basically a very long dance party. We'll make a

61
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: playlist of different songs from all around the world that

62
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: we can dance to. How does that sound?

63
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: I think it sounds groovy, Emily. I want to know

64
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: what dance style I should do? Should I do rock

65
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: and roll? Maybe hip hop? Or maybe even ballet? I can't.

66
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: I went to hear Harry's tips for our danceathon.

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: Let's go ask him so we can get our feet

68
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: ready to dance all night long.

69
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,680

74
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: welcome mister Harry Chum junior.

75
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, Hi Harry, I'm making a playlist for our danceathon.

76
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna be so great.

77
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: So let's start at the very beginning. Harry, how did

78
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: you first start dancing? Are you one of those people

79
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: who started dancing before they learned how to walk?

80
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: No.

81
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I was just a very

82
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: curious kid. I uh, you know. I moved to America

83
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: at a very young age for Costa Rica. So when

84
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: I was at Costa Rica, I was singing a lot,

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: dancing a lot. But when I came here, I became very,

86
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: very shy, and it was because I had to learn

87
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: new language, your culture.

88
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: That sounds tough.

89
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it must have been hard to make friends when

90
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: you were still so new to a place.

91
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: There's a big period of time when I was a

92
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: kid that I didn't dance much or or sing much.

93
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until I started getting into sixth grade

94
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: seventh grade where I got to really express myself. And

95
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, but during that time in between that, when

96
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing it in public, I was pretending to

97
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: be a wrestler, pretending to be different animals, and just

98
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: finding ways using my imagination with movement, trying to figure

99
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: out how to like to move like a mime. I

100
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: remember watching a mime in like fifth grade and trying

101
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: to mimic him. So it was just mimicking things around

102
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: me when I was a lot younger.

103
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: And then you just knew you wanted to be a dancer.

104
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: So a funny thing happened. I actually got dared to

105
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: audition for a dance team.

106
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Oh wow, how did that happen?

107
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: So my friend dared me to audition and we went

108
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: and you know, we just said, you know, let's just

109
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: give it her all and whatever happens happens, and ended

110
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: up making it. It really changed my life because I

111
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: became passionate about dancing. It just taught me that you

112
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: sometimes never know what you're capable of if you don't

113
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: try it first, and not just have someone dare you

114
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: to do something, but dare yourself to try it.

115
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: I think that's a beautiful lesson to share. If you

116
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 2: dare yourself to try something you've never done before, who knows,

117
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: Maybe you'll love it.

118
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so, But Harry, dancing can be super hard.

119
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: Do you think I can learn some of the cool

120
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: moves you do?

121
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I think anything that takes a certain

122
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: skill set to try and learn and do for the

123
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: first time, it is always going to be hard. It

124
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: takes practice and doing it over and over again, and

125
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: to kind of also put your personal spin on it.

126
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes it yours. It becomes you,

127
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: and it becomes something that is just part of you.

128
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: Now.

129
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally get how that feels, Harry. When I

130
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: was doing science experiments for kids on TV, I also

131
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: felt like I got a lot better at it after

132
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: doing them over and over again. And that happens with everything,

133
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: doesn't it. What do you think, Louise, Yeah, I guess so.

134
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: But I have friends who've been dancing since they.

135
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: Were like two years old. If I want to be

136
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: a dancer, what if I can never catch up to them?

137
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: Watching someone dance joyfully is I think more interesting than

138
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: someone who danced really.

139
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: Technically technically what do you mean, Harry, Like.

140
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: You can do these you know, eight spins, eight pure

141
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: wets and and you know you can spin on your head,

142
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: but there's no joy behind it compared to someone who

143
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: can only do two or three. But there's just pure

144
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: joy coming out of them, and there's a confidence that

145
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 1: they can do those things very very well.

146
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: Oh, so it's more fun to just enjoy the dance

147
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: than to worry about being perfect, right exactly, Louise.

148
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: You still need to practice and try your best if

149
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: you want to become an awesome dancer. But in the end,

150
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 2: it's even better if you're having fun while dancing, don't

151
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: you think?

152
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? I love doing fun stuff me too.

153
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 2: Speaking of fun, Harry, what's the best part of being

154
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: a dancer?

155
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: The coolest part about being a dancer is that you

156
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: just forget about everything except for the dancing. The music

157
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: becomes part of you. You become part of the music.

158
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: You're almost into like a dream state when you're dancing,

159
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: and then when you're done, you're like, did I just

160
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: do that? What did I just do? I don't know, wow.

161
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: So it's like you kind of forget where you are yes,

162
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: from being so caught up in the moment. Did you

163
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: always feel that way, Harry, Like from the first time

164
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: you ever danced.

165
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: I just remember the first time I ever performed, when

166
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: I was eighteen. I went on stage and we performed

167
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: in front of five thousand people, and it was just

168
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: the energy that of people screaming, people giving you that

169
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: energy and then you're about to give them a certain

170
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: energy and it's just an exchange that you feel like

171
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: in your gut. You feel like you're doing something right,

172
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, whatever that is. It just felt right and

173
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: it felt like this explosion of joy, you.

174
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 3: Know, Harry. I just love moving and jumping and dancing

175
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 3: around all the time. But some grown ups don't like

176
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: it as much.

177
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: People always say why do you dance so much? And

178
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: I always says, why don't you dance so more? You know,

179
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: like it should be a thing that everyone does. You

180
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: have to get the energy out.

181
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: As a grown up myself, I one hundred percent agree. So, Harry,

182
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: you've been talking about how dancing helps you face your fears,

183
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: and you and your wife Shelby Rabara wrote a very

184
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: special children's book. It's called Marty Dares to Dance? Right?

185
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: Is that book about yourself?

186
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: You know? It's a combination of all all families love

187
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: for dance in different ways. Even my wife Shelby, she

188
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: was very very shy growing up and dance really allowed

189
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: her to blossom. And even for our daughter, it was

190
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: so cool to write a children's book where she had

191
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: her ideas and threw it out there.

192
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: I think it's a lovely lesson, Harry. Dancing is a

193
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: fun way to show how you feel.

194
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh, and Harry, Sometimes I just dance with my

195
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: dog Maxie and my parents. Do. Do you ever have

196
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: dance parties with your family? I think it's so much fun.

197
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely awesome picture. We were dancing to Whitney

198
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Houston with a bunch of friends and our daughter. She

199
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: was I think three years old, and someone snapped the

200
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: picture and her face was like that face was looking up,

201
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: her eyes were closed. You could tell you feeling the music.

202
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: Just imagining your daughter's face at that moment makes me

203
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: want to dance.

204
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: Wait, who's Whitney Houston.

205
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: Oh, you're gonna love her, Louise. She's an iconic singer.

206
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Her voice was so good people called her the voice.

207
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: Wow.

208
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: I hope we can play one of her songs at

209
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: the Danzathon.

210
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,920

00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: I like how that sounds very elegant.

00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: It's a very oh dance style. Look you see how

246

Speaker 2: dresses are dancing. You have to move from side to side,

248
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,600

249
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,800

00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: Whoa. Okay, I've always seen that in movies, but I

255
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: hadn't tried it myself. It was fun, it is.

256
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: The waltz is a dance that comes from Germany. It

257
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: became popular all over the world, especially at big parties

258
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: called balls, and at these parties, rich people wore their

259
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: best clothes.

260
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,480

00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: It is true, good sir.

263
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Okay, don't wear yourselves out, guys. The fun is just

264
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: getting started. Now.

265
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: Changing track.

266
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: Oh, we're changing dances now. It sounds like we're switching

267
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: to salsa.

268
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: Salsa. That's a Latin dance, right.

269
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: Yes, very very important for so many Latin cultures. And

270
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: look we are now in the streets of San Juan,

271
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico, and everyone's having a blast.

272
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: Whoa, it's a lot faster, it is, but you'll get

273
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: the hang of it.

274
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: Look see how they're moving their feet. It's all about

275
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: following that pattern. Left foot in front, then bring it back,

276
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: then the right foot goes back, and then again to

277
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: the front and one, two, three, four, Oh.

278
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I'm getting it now.

279
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: Ooh.

280
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: And this music is fun, I know, right.

281
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: A good salsa band makes it impossible not to dance.

282
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: It's an absolute pride and joy for Latin culture to

283
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: be good at salsa. By the way, the form of

284
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: salsa we're dancing today comes from Cubans and Puerto Ricans

285
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: and New York, but it also has so many other styles.

286
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,359
Speaker 3: And can we spin here too?

287
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: Of course, that's actually one of the most popular moves

288
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: in salsa. It's not too different from the waltz. Actually, here,

289
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: take my hand, keep moving your feet the same way,

290
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: and now here we go.

291
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: Whoa, it's a lot faster.

292
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Are your feet wabbly?

293
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: Luise I'm not tired yet.

294
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: Let's keep going now changing track.

295
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: Uh oh, if you thought salsa was fast, then this

296
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: one's really gonna surprise you.

297
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: Why what's next?

00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: We're doing Irish dance, a traditional dance from Ireland. In fact,
