Join Koji the kitsune and his friends and dance along to this traditional song from East Asia. Moving to music is so much fun!
Hello everyone!We’re going on a musical adventure around the world.Where will we stop today?Excellent! Today, we’re on a journey to Japan in East Asia.Who is this? Oh, it’s Koji, the kitsune.It looks like you’re doing your morning exercises. Can we join in?Make sure you’ve got plenty of space to stretch out your arms.Try to follow the moves. Or, make up your own dance and groove to the music.
Raise your arms, then down to your sides.Raise your arms, then down to your sides.
Every morning, I say thanksfor my body ‘cause I love to dance.Move to the rhythm, jump like so,as we exercise to the radio.
Spread your arms then bring them down.Spread your arms then bring them down.
Everybody, old and youngwill start to stretch.Here’s how it’s done.Move to the rhythm,jump like so, as we exercise to the radio.
Twist to the right, then down to the middle.Twist to the left, then down to the middle.
Every morning, I say thanksfor my body ‘cause I love to dance.Move to the rhythm, jump like soand exercise to the radio.
Reach for your toes, as you step to the side.Reach for your toes, as you step to the side.
Everybody, old and youngwill start to stretch.Here’s how it’s done.
Move to the rhythm and jump like so.Exercise to the radio.
