About this episode

JFKat wants to take a Yoga class but ends up in a dance class taught by Fred the Dog. Can he overcome his embarrassment and learn to love dancing?

Lessons include: As a wise woman named Amy Poehler once said, “If you can dance and be free and not embarrassed, you can rule the world.”; Embarrassment fades quickly when we learn to embrace our individuality and mistakes.
