The dancer I'm going to show you is a jarabe tapatio. It comes from Jalisco and it's a place in Mexico. All these kids are from Missionville School and we learned this dance from Miss Guerrero and Mr. Hernandez. Stand where you dance. We do our dances all over Tucson and sometimes we come here to the Mission and do some performing. Bring it around like this and bring it to your hips and hold it right here. But where you held it before, when you're moving, keep it right there, bring it around and hold it like that.
And don't forget to... The harabe tapatio is a very hard dance to learn because it has a lot of different steps. You guys, remember what Silvia said, that count your turn when you're behind the hat and then let go. I did! I did count your turn. And when you let go of the hat, don't give it to the boy, Okay, just take it out. And you're throwing your skirts this way and that way, and when you really throw it
high, it looks prettier, and you say, I look pretty, and you're there showing off and all this. The story to the dance is that the girl is really teasing around with the guy, but what she's really doing is flirting. When you flirt, you're doing with your eyes and with your smile. And what you're really doing with your skirt, you're throwing it high and you're throwing it this way and you're really showing yourself off. ¶¶

I can't stay mad at somebody. If, like, you know, somebody does something and something, and, like, my friends, when they get mad at me, they get mad, you know, when they don't talk to me. But when I get mad, I can't stay mad. I just, I can't... You've got to talk to them. You can't attend. I can't talk. I have to talk to them. That's what I do. When I get mad, I count to ten.
And, like, I go, one, two, three, four, like that. You know, when I get to ten, I go, like, one, two, three. You know, all the stuff like that. Well, you know when we joke around sometimes and we say, no, I'm not in a bad mood, you know? Oh, yeah. And I'm really not, but then, like, you can tell if I'm in a bad mood. Yeah, I know. And you can tell if I'm in a good mood. You too. Yeah. But sometimes, just for joking around, you know, But sometimes when I get mad, I just go. The thing that really lets it out is scream or I punch my pillow. When I get mad at my sister, oh, I got two. So when I get mad at all, I scream and yell. But then again, I don't, I don't, I used to hit a lot, you know. I used to go and hit my sister, but I just scream now. I used to have a bad habit of hitting my sister, but, you know, I don't like it, but I just have to let it out sooner or I'm going to burst. So I just run up in my room and I just let it all out till one day. I just keep holding it real back.
And then just one day and bam. No, you cry. That's better. Who cries? I know a girl. No, it isn't. That's a way of letting your feelings out. I don't think so.

Description
Series Description
"ZOOM is a children's show comprised of weekly half-hour episodes which showed what youngsters do and think. Seven ZOOMers hosted each episdoe, and the cast changed over run of series. ZOOM premiered locally as ""Summer-Do"" in 1970, and premiered nationally in January 1972. ZOOMers played games, told jokes, riddles (called Fannee Doolees) and stories and did crafts projects...and invited ideas from their audience. The result was an avalanche of ZOOMmail - in the first season, over 200,000 letters. Additionally, the Ubbi Dubbi language was invented by ZOOM."
