Get Up and Dance

From Muppet Wiki

Get Up and Dance is a 1997 Sesame Street direct-to-video special.

Big Bird decides to hold a birthday party for Radar in the dance studio around the corner. More kids than Sesame Street Muppets are seen in the video as the plot moves along by the kids suggesting a dance, Celina explaining how to do it, and the song or video plays.

The DVD version includes a CD sampler of songs from Platinum All-Time Favorites.
