About this episode

Scully the Squid and Rola Rabbit get invited to a Back-to-School Dance! Can an underwater creature enjoy a land-lubber dance? Maybe if DJ Abacus picks out the right tunes…

Lessons include: Dances and loud music can make some people uncomfortable; being accommodating means paying attention to other people’s needs.
