PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing six stories from PBS KIDS’ ODD SQUAD series on the new DVD “DANCE LIKE NOBODY’S WATCHING” on March 15, 2016. Featuring math and music, the stories on this new DVD will have kids singing and dancing as they watch Odd Squad agents solve off-the-wall cases.
Description: C:\Users\btolender\Desktop\Dance.jpgFrom listening to Delivery Doug sing about egg salad sandwiches to hearing Agent Olaf’s potato song, this DVD is filled with laugh-out-loud tunes. In the story “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching,” Agent O’Duffey forgets the code for the alarm system at headquarters. To turn it off, Olive, Otto, Oscar, and Ms. O must make their way through several booby traps by following the correct pattern. In order to beat the final trap, Otto dances his way between numerous flashing lasers while listening to his favorite band – Soundcheck. The band is also featured in the story “Soundcheck.” Utilizing the Mathroom at headquarters, the agents uncover that the band’s new hit song “Take Away Four” is causing four items related to its listeners to be subtracted – four tires, four bagels, four chairs. Because a musical problem needs a musical solution, Olive and Otto change the song’s lyrics to make things right!
“DANCE LIKE NOBODY’S WATCHING” will be available on DVD March 15, 2016. The DVD run time is approximately 90 minutes and its SRP is $12.99. A special feature included on this DVD is an extended version of the Soundcheck song “Take Away Four.”
The “DANCE LIKE NOBODY’S WATCHING” DVD includes the stories below.

My Thoughts
The Odd Squad is a cute series about a team of junior detectives who love to solve off the wall cases. Along the way, they sing songs, dance, and help kids develop their math skills. This DVD set is all about busting a move and features six fantastic episodes including:
Dance like No One's Watching
Soundcheck
Soundcheck Park Duex
A Case of the Sing Alongs
O is not for Old
Mystic Egg Pizza
In addition to the episodes, there is also some bonus footage that includes an extended version of the "Take Away Four" song. Overall, my children really enjoyed the show. It can be a little corny at times, but it's definitely a fun and educational program.
