Oh, hi! You're just in time.

I was wondering when you were
going to get here! Come on in.

[guitar music]

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

Wait a minute...
What's that smell?

[sniffing]

Mmm?

[sniffing]

Ha, it's you!

[sniffing]

Ooh, you smell so good.
You smell like fresh berries!

It must feel good
to smell that sweet. [laughs]

Well, I'm feeling
really good too.

And do you know what I like to
do when I'm feeling really good?

I love to dance the Cha-Cha-Cha!

Hey! I have an idea!
Would you like to dance with me?

I've got some great Cha-Cha
music we could play,

and we could dance together.

What do you say we dance
the Cha-Cha-Cha?

[flamenco music]

Hey, that music...

That doesn't sound like
Cha-Cha music.

[flamenco music]

It's coming from...

[flamenco music]

Ojo?

[Ojo singing]

It's Ojo, I wonder
what she's doing.

Um, Ojo? Ojo?

Excuse me, Bear. I am not Ojo.

I am Senorita Ojo,
the Spanish dance bear!

But you,
you may call me Senorita!

Senorita! Senorita means
"young lady" in Spanish.

-Umm, Senorita?
-Yes, Bear?

Umm, I'm curious, umm...
What are you doing?

I'm dancing...
I'm dancing... the Flamingo!

The Flamingo! I've never
heard of that dance before.

That's because
I made it up, Bear!

I dance the Flamingo!
Because eet ezz my life!

Uh!

The Flamingo.
I can just see it now...

The hands clapping...

Wow! Look at the hands clapping!

And castanets clucking...

Ondalay! Ondalay!

And the guitars are strumming...

I love the Guitars! Ole!

Oh, Bearrrr?

Si, Senorita?

Would you like to dance
the Flamingo... with me?

I'd be delighted!
Come, let us dance the Flamingo!

[flamenco music]

Hey!

Hey!

Ole!

[laughing]

That was beautiful, Ojo.

Charmed, I'm sure, Bear.
Bye-bye.

Uh? Where are you going?

I think I have Flamingo fever.

I have to keep dancing.

Ha-ha-ha ya!

Bye, Ojo.

That was great!
I just love to dance...

DANCE

Dance. And hey!

Do you know
the secret of dancing?

You can do it
any way you want to!

Mm-hm.

All you have to do
is move your feet...

[piano music]

and you can move
all sorts of ways. Like,

you can dance fast like a jig...

[flute music]

or you can dance
slow like a waltz...

[classic dance music]

...or you can dance
from side to side...

forwards and backwards,
up and down,

skipping, hopping, jumping,
turning, leaping, perriotting...

Tada! See, the only thing you
have to do when you dance is...

you have to have fun!

There are so many different
ways to dance.

But, what do you think?
What ways do you like to dance?

This is how we dance.

[giggling]

Yeah!

[kid laughs]

[laughs]

[gibberish]

Wow, you guys really know
how to dance.

And all this talk about dancing

makes me want to do
the Cha-Cha-Cha!

Hey, let's turn on my radio

and see if we can't find
my favourite radio station...

WCHA, the station
that loves to Cha-Cha-Cha!

[radio sound]

BROADCASTER: WCHA.

-Here it is.
-The station that Cha-Cha-Chas!

And now, a song that's
sure to get you shakin'

"The Jumpin' Fish Cha-Cha-Cha!"

-This should be good...
-It's gonna be good.

I hope you got
those maracas handy

'cause this one really moves.

Wait a second!

I wish...

I don't have my maracas,
my shakers and they make noise.

And bears love to make noise.

Where did I put them?
Maybe in the bathroom?

I'll be right back.

[Tutter mumbles]

[laughs]

Bear?

Bear?

Did you see Bear?

[dance music]

Music! Treelo loves music!

[giggles]

Ya!

[dance music]

[laughs]

[dance music continues]

[dance music continues]

[gibberish]

[exclaims]

[laughs]

Nope, no maracas
in the bathroom. I wonder...

-Hi, Bear!
-Hi, Treelo!

Treelo dancing!

[laughs]

Dancing! Treelo loves dancing?

Treelo, I was just about
to do the Cha-Cha-Cha.

Would you like to join me?

No, no, no, Bear...
I already danced. Treelo danced.

You already danced. I didn't
see that, did you see that?

Well, okay, Treelo,
I understand,

maybe another time.

-Okay. Bye-bye, Bear!
-Bye, Treelo!

No maracas in the bathroom,
maybe in the kitchen. Come on.

One, two, three, Cha-Cha-Cha!

Two-Three, Cha-Cha-Cha!!

[laughs]

Now, the last time I used
my shakers, I think

it was in the kitchen.

And I'm pretty sure
it was by the dishrack...

Now, let's see...

[snoring]

What is this?

[screaming]

-Bear, it's you.
-Tutter! It's you! It's Tutter!

-Hi.
-Hey, Tutter,

I just came down to look
for my shakers.

Haven't seen 'em, Bear,
haven't seen 'em.

Hey, maybe you'd like
to dance with me.

Dance?

Yeah, you know dance,
take a step or two,

move the little blue tail...

No, no, no, not this mouse,
Bear. Not this mouse.

Can't dance, Bear. Can't dance.

Come on, Tutter,
everybody can dance.

Sorry, Bear, sorry.
I got no rhythm, no beat!

A mouse who can't dance.
What a shame, what a pity!

[sighs]

Hey, Bear. Hey, Tutter.

It's Pip and Pop! Hi, you two.

-Hi!
-Hey, Pip, Pop.

Hey, what's wrong, Tutter?

You look like someone ate
your last piece of cheese.

Did they?

No, no, no.
Nothing like that, Pip.

Nothing like that, Pop. I'm
just a mouse who can't dance.

Can't dance?

Yeah. Sure. He's pulling
our leg. Is he joking?

He's got to be joking.

He's not joking.

BOTH: Aww, Tutter...

Hey, we can teach you to dance!

Really? Teach me?
Really? Could you really?

Yes, Tutter,
everybody can dance.

Really? Okay, then let's do it!

All right! I'll just go
upstairs, get the radio

and put on some
good Cha-Cha music.

-No, no, Bear! Bear!
-Yeah?

We don't need the radio!

Yeah, we can make up
our own music!

-Let's go, Tutter.
-[Tutter laughs]

Wow! This is gonna be great!

All right!

[laughs]

I hope you picked up
a new beat or two.

Hey, you know who
we haven't seen yet today?

My good friend, Shadow!
Come on, let's go find her.

I bet Shadow's around
here somewhere.

and sing a song together,

she'll appear. Ready?

go up and tell Luna

all about our day
and everything we did. Come on.

[soft guitar music]

[soft guitar music]

Uh, there she is. Hello, Luna.
How are you?

Good evening, Bear.

I was just admiring the clouds
floating about the sky.

How was your day
in the Big House of Blue?

-The whole house was jumping.
-Really?

I don't recall seeing
your Big House of Blue jump!

[laughs]

Well the house didn't
actually jump

but everyone inside did...

we were dancing!

Oh!

Dancing... why that's one
of my favourite things

about the world!

How everybody dances!
Tell me more!

Well, Ojo danced the Flamingo!

[laughs]

Ojo made up her own dance!

That's right.
And Treelo really jammed.

Well, the right music can
really make you move.

That's true, Luna. And Tutter
didn't think he could dance

but the Otter's gave him
a lesson and he did just fine!

And if I know my Bear,

you must have been breaking
some fine moves yourself!

Me! Ha, ha!
Well, Luna, I did get

that old feeling again...

-Not the scritchin?
-Yeah...

The Bear Cha-Cha-Cha!

[laughing]

I don't know why it's
so much fun to dance

with all my friends.

But, Bear, there's nothing
more fun than dancing

with your friends.

Like me and the earth.

We've been dancing
together forever!

Wow! I never thought of that!

Well, Luna would you dance
and sing with me now?

-The Goodbye Song?
-Mm-hm.

I'd love to, Bear.
