“You do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around …

That’s what it’s all about!”

Austen now does the entire hokey pokey dance: hand, foot and body movements, spinning around, “shaking all about.” It’s unbelievable. Austen is exuding Grandma Judi’s personality: the spiritedness, animation and bits of wackiness. Turn the music on and the fussies disappear.

This is just one of the numerous songs she sings, including Twinkle Twinkle, Baaa Baaa Black Sheep, the Alphabet Song, Elmo’s World, Teletubbies and several others from her Music Together class.
