I've got a kid that loves to move. He will totally get down anytime he hears music. Like yesterday, we're walking down the street and suddenly he starts busting a move that would make a Chippendale blush.
Enter Hip Hop Harry and his new video Move Those Feet. Hip Hop Harry is an award-winning series from Discovery Kids that uses a lovable bear named Hip Hop Harry to not only teach some killer dance moves, but also life lessons. Hip Hop Harry aims to teach kids about language, problem solving, and social skills - all while having some good, rocking fun.
Monkey Man's favorite episode of the DVD was "Fancy Footwork," which features two sisters named Savannah and Sophina who are in a big dance contest - on different teams that are competing against each other. The girls learn that it's not necessarily about winning, but about doing the best that they can. He talked about that episode ALL DAY. And the day after that.
In the rest of the video, the kids learn fun ways to exercise, they rhyme words to make a poem to perform, and a girl who is a ballet dancer learns that hip hop can be fun too. The video isn't overly produced, but is fun and energetic. Monkey Man was completely entranced by the video for the entire length, which almost never happens - I could count the number of times that's happened on one hand!
I found the video to be fun, energetic, and colorful. Monkey Man might be toward the top of the age range that would find Hip Hop Harry engaging, but he certainly did enjoy it and I've seen him dancing around the house a lot more lately.
Hip Hop Harry's "Move Those Feet" is available through Amazon. Give it a try and bring out the dancing fool in your house!
