What can you tell me about a fox?
:05:37
What does a fox look like?
:05:38
A fox look like a dog, but it's like...
:05:42
a dangerous dog that lives in the woods.
:05:44
Yeah, okay.
:05:46
Good, excellent. What else does that fox do?
:05:48
He go quietly
and then he jump on the chicken.

:05:53
Right, very good.
:05:54
The fox sneaks up. He's quiet.
:05:58
Right?
:05:59
So that's how we're gonna dance this dance.
:06:02
We're gonna be smooth...
:06:03
we're gonna be sneaky,
we're gonna be quiet...

:06:06
when we do a foxtrot. Okay?
:06:08
Let's get in our imaginary ghost position,
dance position.

:06:12
And without touching anyone,
skate across the floor.

:06:15
Ready, go. Skate, skate...
:06:18
The children and most of the people
who live here in Washington Heights...

:06:21
come from Dominican Republic.
:06:23
There are a large, large percentage
of single-parent families.

:06:27
There are many children being raised
by grandparents, aunts, uncles.

:06:31
Many situations where
more than one family lives in a home.

:06:35
So, the children don't have much advantage.
:06:37
There's 97% poverty rate in the school...
:06:39
so the children come to school with issues.
:06:41
Here we go.
:06:46
Five, six, seven, go.
:06:49
Slow, slow...
:06:51
quick, quick, slow, slow, away.
:06:55
Slow, slow...
:06:57
Children in a middle-class neighborhood...
:06:58
have many more advantages.
:06:59
If they want to go to dancing school,
they can go to dancing school.
