SCENE 1 | Elmo and Zoe welcome the viewer from the dance studio, saying that there will be a lot of dancing today. Gabi introduces the letter W and they do a brief dance based on the "Wuh" sound. Elmo and Zoe try to think of some W words but have trouble coming up with one, so Gabi suggests the word "welcome." She and the other kids form two circles and start doing the "Welcome Dance," shaking hands with the person in front of them. Bob and Celina arrive at the studio and join along. |
