ALL:
Barney!

Hi, everybody.

It's good to see you.

Are you ready
for the big dance party, Barney?

I certainly am!

[humming]

Well?

[laughter]

Check out this step.

Okay.

Whoa. Very
good, Allison!

My brother's friends are going
to dance at the party, too.

Let's go see
if they're here yet.

KIDS:
Yeah.

That sounds like
a great idea.

Oh, are you coming, Jamal?

Nah, you guys go on.

Will we see you
at the dance party?

I don't think
so, Barney.

Why not, Jamal?

Uh, the thing is,

I can't dance
like the rest of them.

Oh, you don't need to, Jamal.

You can dance like you dance.

I can't dance at all.

I don't know how.

Well, it's easy to learn.

Here, try a little
step like this.

Foot out, foot in,
give a little spin.

I'd look silly.

Well, then dance
a silly dance.

Move your body,
oh, and have fun!

I... I can't, Barney.

Oh, that's all
right, Jamal.

You don't have to.

[rhythmic percussion
music plays]

What's going on in there?

Well, let's
find out.

[laughs]

BJ:
Okay guys, let's take
it from the top. Ready?

Oh, well, hi, BJ.

Hi, BJ.

Oh, hi, Barney.
Hi, Jamal.

Come on in.

Our friends are doing
some really cool hip-hopping!

Oh, all right!

Ready, BJ?

Ready!

Five, six, seven, eight.

[hip-hop music plays]

BJ:
Okay, guys,
check this out.

BARNEY:
Okay.

BJ:
They are really great!

BARNEY:
Wow! This is good.

Whoa!

♪ Hey, Mr. Knickerbocker,

Great job.

Thanks. Thanks a lot!

Hey, would you guys
like to try out some new moves?

[all exclaim]

Sounds fun.

So, what do you say, Jamal?

Jamal?

Where'd he go?

Well, I better check.

Okay, see you later.

Okay, see you
in a bit. Jamal?

BJ:
Okay, you guys,
let's get those moves down.

Um, Jamal,
are you all right?

Oh, Barney, I couldn't dance
as good as them

in a million years.

I think you'd
be surprised

what you can do
if you try.

[bells jingling]

Hi, Barney. Hi, Jamal.

Hi, Riff.

Hi, Riff.

Oh, check out the dancing bells
John gave me.

Hi, Barney.

BARNEY:
Oh, hi, John.

It's good
to see you again.

This is Jamal.

Hello.
This is my wife, Esther,

my daughters,
Marie and Rose,

and our friend, Mike.

Hi. Cool clothes.

Thank you. These are our
traditional dance clothes.

Yeah, they're going to perform
a Native American dance.

I'm from the Sioux nation
and our dances tell stories.

Would you like to see one,
Jamal?

That'd be cool.

I'll perform a very old dance
called the Grass Dance,

and it was done to flatten down
the tall prairie grass

so that our people would have
a nice place to dance

at their powwows.

[drum beating, bells jingling]

[Mike chanting]

[chanting]

Oh, my!

That was amazing!

I'm glad you liked it.

Well, thanks
for sharing it with us.

Oh, come on.

I want you to meet
some of the other dancers.

Okay, thank you.

All right, bye, Barney.
Bye, Jamal.

BARNEY:
See you later. Bye.

BABY BOP:
♪ Tippy-toe, tippy-toe,
tippy-toe ♪

♪ Tippy-toe, tippy-toe,
tippy-toe, tippy-toe ♪

♪ Bourree, bourree,
bourree, bourree... ♪

And arabesque, and arabesque.

And now I'm spinning,
I'm spinning, I'm spinning, oh!

[laughs]

Well, hi, Barney.
Hi, Jamal.

Hi.

Hi, Baby Bop.

Do you like my pretty pink tutu?

BARNEY:
We do.

It's from my ballet class.

Ballet is another
kind of dance.

Oh! And, Barney,
it is my favorite.

Oh, I know.

You know I've been
taking ballet for... ever.

Let's watch Baby Bop's class
and see what she's learning.

Oh, let's do. [laughs]

I'm going to do things
like this.

Watch for me.
I'm the little green one.

BARNEY:
Oh, Baby Bop.

And I'm spinning and spinning.

Okay, is everybody
ready to get started?

ALL:
Yes!

Are we going to have
a wonderful ballet
class today? Yes?

BABY BOP:
Oh, tippy toes, tippy toes.

And round and round and round
a big circle.

We stretch very high.

Put our arms out.

Tippy toes, tippy toes,
tippy toes.

Round and round, whoo!

INSTRUCTOR:
Good deal.

BABY BOP:
Round and round
and round and round, whoo!

And jump.

Round and round, dizzy! Oh!

And jump.

Out and in.

And leap! [ laughs]

Bye-bye. Bye.

Maybe Baby Bop can teach
you some steps, Jamal.

Oh, yes, let me show you.

Now first, you put your arms
up like this

and then you spin around
and spin around and spin around

and spin around,

and spin around and... oh...

Too much spinning.

There's no way I could dance
like that, Baby Bop.

Well, why don't you try?

I couldn't.

Sometimes it can be scary
to try new things.

But if you don't try,
you'll never know if you can.

I know. Maybe I'll try someday,
but, for now,

I'm just going to go home.

Bye, guys.

Well, bye, Jamal.

Bye.

Well!

Don't know why I didn't see it
in the first place.

What are you talking about,
Barney?

Now I know what
the problem is.

It's the shoes.

What's wrong with them?

Nothing, but they're
not dancing shoes.

You need a pair
like this!

Whoa!

Anybody can dance
in shoes like those!

Come on. Give it a try.

Just do a little move
and have a little fun.

Like this.

Hey, I did it! Did you see?

Oh, I certainly did.

This is kind of fun.

JAMAL:

Go, Jamal!

Oh, yeah. Way to go!

BARNEY:
Looking good!

RIFF:
It's your birthday,
it's your birthday.

h*, h*, h*, h*, h*!

BARNEY:
Would you look at that?

Go, Jamal.
There you go.

Come on.

[all cheering]

Thanks. It was easy with my...

What happened
to my dancing shoes?

I think those
work just as well.

Hey, you're right!

[cheering]

Well, what are
we standing here for?

We ought to be dancing!

You're right!
Come on, guys!

Everyone conga!

BABY BOP:
Yay, conga!

[chanting conga rhythm]

BABY BOP:
Are we there yet?

BJ:
Just keep going.

I never did need
those dancing shoes,
did I, Barney?

A te-rrific dancer
like you?

You could dance
in any old shoes.

Thanks, Barney.

It's good to have a friend
like you.

You're very welcome.

And thank you for
being my friend.

Whatever we do,
whatever we try,

it's always easier when we have
a little help from a friend.

BARNEY:â–
It's time for a Barney 'toon.

Oh, hello.

Isn't the park beautiful today?

The sun is bright,

and the air is full
of happy bird-songs and...

[happy whistling]

Hmm. What kind of bird
could that be?

Hey, Barney! It's not a bird.

It's me.

Oh, hello, Ethan.

That's a very pretty tune.

What's it called?

Uh... I don't know.

Just a happy song.

Got to run, Barney.

See ya!

See ya, Ethan!

Oh, hi, Ethan. Hi, Barney!

Well, hello, Baby Bop,
oh, and Teddy, too.

What are you
up to today?

Well, Teddy wants me
to sing to her,

but I don't know
what song to sing.

Hmm. I think I know a story
that might help you decide.

I can tell it if you'd like.

Oh, yes, please!

Teddy and I would
like that very much.

Okay. This story
is called

"The Princess Without
a Song to Sing,"

and it all begins with,
"Once upon a time..."

"...there was
a sad little princess

"who lived in the big,
beautiful kingdom

of a very wise king."

Oh, woe is me!

Why are you so sad,
Little Princess?

You have everything
you could want.

Oh, I have lots
of things, Wise King,

but, I don't have a song
of my own to sing.

I think there's a song for you.

You just haven't found it yet.

Well, maybe I can help.

Let's see here. Uh...

Aha! I know what to do!

What's that, Wise King?

I'll send a message.

[muttering]

And there!

Oh, Royal Messenger!

Yes, Your Majesty?

Please take this
around the kingdom

until you meet
someone who can help

this sad little
princess find her song.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Very good.
Bye-bye.

Hurry back.

Bring somebody with you.

Oh, will I ever find my song?

Oh, I'm sure you
will, Princess.

Look! Someone's
coming.

It's Riff
the farmer.

Welcome, Farmer Riff.

Good day, Wise King,

and greetings,
Sad Little Princess.

I have walked a long way
to help you find your song.

Oh! Well, do you have
your own song, Farmer Riff?

I certainly do.

I found it in the wonderful
sounds of the kingdom!

It was in the chirpity-chirping
of the birds,

and the breeze blowing
through the trees.

Just listen,
and you'll hear their song.

Um, but the birds, and

makeyoursong, not mine.

Don't worry,
Sad Little Princess.

I know you'll
find your song.

[loud guitar twang]

Whoa! What was that?

Well, hello, Wise King
and Sad Little Princess.

I'm Prince BJ, from the faraway
Kingdom of Rock-N-Roll-Ya!

Welcome, Prince BJ.

I've come many, many miles
to help you find your song.

Oh! Well, do you have
your own song, Prince BJ?

Well, I sure do, little lady,

and my song has
a rockin'-rollin' beat.

ALL:

Wow, your song really was fun.

But it wasn't my song.

I think I know one more way
to find your song.

Well, what's that,
Wise King?

Listen.

Well, I did listen--

to the farmer's song
and Prince BJ's song,

but I didn't hear my song.

Now try listening
to your heart.

Some songs are about feelings
you have deep inside.

Really?

Oh, sure.

Be very still
and very quiet
Okay.

and you'll hear
the song in your heart.

Oh, okay.

I'll give it a try.

Okay.

Do you hear it?

Uh... not yet.

Oh, songs are everywhere.

And singing
is fun.

Especially when
the song comes
from your heart.

Oh... Oh, wait!

Hold on! Shh!

I think I hear something!

Oh, I do, I do,
I do hear a song!

It's about something
that means a lot to me.

Something that
makes me feel

very good inside.

What's that, Princess?

Well, you--

my friends.
