- It's Radar's birthday! Big Bird Caroll Spinney) decides to have a dance party for him at Celina's dance studio. He invites some kids in the park to go there with him- and passes Oscar on the way, who's at his newsstand. When Big Bird passes Oscar, he tells HIM to have a rotten day! When Big Bird and the kids enter studio, Celina (Annette Calud) is dancing to "The Body Dance" which is playing on her TV. Celina agrees to let them have the party there, and Radar picks the first dance. Celina, kids and Big Bird do "A Very Simple Dance". Gabi (Desiree Casado) picks the next dance("I'm a Little Airplane"). Celina now wants to rest for a bit, but the kids want to go on. Big Bird turns it to "The Dance Channel" on the TV, where the kids watch the "Birdland Jump" song. Big Bird now tells Celina she can rest while he gives out an imaginary pizza. They finish it just as she's sat down, so of course, she has to get up and keep going. Carlo (Carlo Alban), some kids, and Barkley (Bruce Connelly) come walking by outside and offer to do a dance for them. They perform "Do the Dog" on the street. Next, Celina and the kids and Big Bird decide to do the dance "Do the Jelly". Celina then again wants to rest but Radar votes to keep going, though he does say that after 3 more dances, it'll be time for birthday cake. Big Bird puts on "The Birthday Channel" for the next dance, and this one is called "Cat Had a Birthday". At the newsstand, Oscar calls on the phone to tell Celina and kids to knock off the dancing and noise. They offer to do a grouch dance and Oscar concedes. They perform "Doin' the Grouch" and then get a call back from Oscar who says, "Now that was more like it." Then it's time for the last dance- referred to by Big Bird and the kids as the "Funny Walk Dance" This dance is known as "A New Way to Walk". And then at the dance studio they have Radar's birthday cake (which is also imaginary) and Radar makes a wish for another dance party right then! By now though, Celina is fast asleep, so the kids keep on dancing anyway to a reprise of "A New Way to Walk", and then the end credits roll. After the credits, Elmo (Kevin Clash) sings "Elmo's Rap Alphabet", officially ending the video.
