A multicultural group of children are taking a dance class with British TV star Oti Mabuse. When a bird flies into the studio, the Jive dance lesson turns into the Bird Jive! Will the parents love their performance?

AJ loved this fun dance class! With clear directions and an engaging twist, she wanted to dance along while she was reading along. Comes with a QR code that takes the reader to a video of Oti doing the Bird Jive to an original song. Suddenly this is perfect for the whole class! Oti Mabuse is South African.
