Reading Rainbow
Sophie and Lou
This episode of "Reading Rainbow", "Sophie and Lou," explores dance as art and recreation. Lola Falana reads Petra Mather's "Sophie and Lou," a story about Sophie, a shy mouse who teaches herself to dance from reading learn-to-dance books. Sophie eventually meets Lou and they become dancing partners. Host LeVar Burton learns to dance the "mambo" from Latin dancer Jackie Rio. The role of dance in cultures across the world is featured with a look at the ritual dances of Bali, step dancing in Ireland, Aboriginal dances in Australia, and American hip-hop. LeVar Burton learns to hip-hop and about its origins from friend and dancer Huggie Ford. The children reviewers discuss "Cordelia, Dance!," "Lion Dancer" and "Dancing With the Indians."
