So you think Uncle Norm can dance? Wrong! Uncle Norm has two left feet, no matter how hard he tries. With a top secret ball to attend, it’s niece Alanna to the rescue. She teaches Uncle Norm and Kevin all about flips, half turns, quarter turns and slides. The best part? We get to see Uncle Norm dance!

The Gist: This episode is about patterning, transformational geometry and symmetry through movement. Dance steps and rhythms are repeated to help build an understanding of the geometric relationship between positions and movement.
