1Stomp, stomp, stomp!
Our feet are stomping on the floor.
Sway, sway, sway!
Our arms are swaying like tall trees.

2Miss Kim counts, "One, two, three!"
She points her toes, and we point too.
Then she turns, and we all turn.
I twirl and twirl around the room.

3Last week, I twirled the wrong way
and bumped into my friend Mateo.
We both laughed and laughed.
Today, I am twirling the right way!

4When the music ended,
we stood in a row and bowed.
Miss Kim cheered for us.
