They love me!
Emily: look, charley.
There it is!

Charley: It'’s my surprise from my father. 
He sent away to jamai a

But I don'’t know what.
Emily Elizabeth: Hurry and open it, Charley. 
[Arf arf][ruff]
[Both gasp]
wow!
It'’s incredible.
A steel drum!
Your dad knew
how much
you wanted one.
Wait till you hear
how it sounds.
[Playing a tune]
You kids
are just wonderful.
When'’s your next show?
Huh?
We'’re not really
doing a show.
But you'’re so talented,
And your dogs
are, too.
You really must
do another show.
Emily Elizabeth: Well, what do you think, Charley?
Charley: [Chuckles] Sounds like fun. 
Ok!
Wonderful!
They love me.
[Playing steel drum]
So, you like the gift,
eh, charley?
It'’s unbelievable.
He'’s not the only one
who likes it, samuel.
Everyone does.
That'’s why we want
to do this show, dad.
To give everyone
a chance to hear it.
[Playing steel drum]
Clifford: This show is really gonna be fun.
T-Bone: Yeah, I can'’t wait.
Me neither.
I just love to dance,
So let the show begin!
Whoa!
Shh!
The show'’s
about to start.
Emily Elizabeth: And now, 
Presenng g
the big red show!
Cleo the dancing dog!
Ta-da!
[Gasps]
Woman:
she'’s not moving.
Emily Elizabeth: Go, cleo!
[Crowd whispering]
Woman: come on, dance.
Emily Elizabeth: Now, cleo!
[Whispering]
Woman: she'’s not moving.
Is she all right?
[Steel drum playing]
[Ruff ruff ruff]
[Cheering]
Woman: oh, that is great!
I loved that!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming,
everybody.
We'’re glad
you liked it.
You kids
were fantastic today.
Thanks, dad.
It'’s fun making
your own music,
isn'’t it?
It'’s great!
Yeah, but what
happened to cleo?
I think she got
stage fright
or something.
I know.
It was weird.
What should we do?
We want to do
another show
this afternoon.
It seems like cleo
really loves to dance.
I bet she finds a way
to work it all out, huh?
Hey, cleo,
come help me.
I'’m covering
clifford in sand.
No, thanks.
I don'’t really
feel like playing.
What? Quit jokin'’,
cleo.
Want to do
something else, cleo?
Not really.
Want to practice
your part for the show?
Emily says we might
do another one
this afternoon.
No! Uh, I don'’t
need practice.
I know what
I'’m supposed to do.
So how come
you didn'’t do it
this morning, cleo?
Oh, that.
Well, the, uh...
Sun was in my eyes,
and, uh,
I got a splinter
in my foot,
And, uh, a bug
flew into my mouth.
Oh.
Well, I just love
the way you do
that dance thing.
♪ La la la da ♪
whoops!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Nice moves, t-bone.
Thank you,
thank you.
You know, cleo,
We don'’t have to
be a part of the show
If you don'’t want to.
Emily and charley
would be great
all by themselves.
Of course I want
to be a part
of the show.
I'’m the best part!
You'’re great!
You really
are good.
You'’re right.
I'’m gonna do it,
clifford.
I have to.
It just wouldn'’t be
as good without me.
I hope cleo'’s gonna
be ok this afternoon.
I hope so, too.
She looks so cute
when she dances.
[Murmuring]
Think cleo'’s gonna dance
this afternoon, clifford?
Sure.
She'’ll be fine.
Uh, see you later,
guys.
I'’m goin'’ home.
What?
Please don'’t go, cleo.
Everyone loves it
when you dance.
Cleo, are you afraid
to do the show?
Well,
not afraid exactly.
More like...
Totally terrified!
Why?
Uh...i don'’t know.
There'’s just so many
people out there.
I mean, I didn'’t
even notice
the people
When we were
just having fun
Playing music and
dancing at the dock,
But now they'’re
all just sitting
out there
Waiting for me.
What if they
don'’t like me?
What if I forget
how to dance?
They'’re gonna
like you, cleo,
No matter what you do.
Besides,
you love to dance.
You said so yourself.
You'’re not gonna forget.
Remember dancing
on the ferry dock?
It was so much fun.
It was, wasn'’t it?
And everyone
loved you.
They did,
didn'’t they?
So what do you say?
Want to go out there
and dance?
We'’re all here for you.
Presenting
the big red show!
And now...
Cleo the dancing dog!
[Gasps]
[music stops]
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
[Music starts]
Emily Elizabeth: And now... 
Cleo the dancing dog!
Ta-da!
[Woof woof woof]
[Ruff ruff ruff]
Man: it'’s amazing.
[Cheering]
[Music stops]
T-Bone: Think she'll ever stop, Clifford?
Clifford: She's got to get tired sometime.
Let me help you
with that.
Thanks, t.
[Ruff ruff ruff]
Thanks, guys.
That was really a terrific
show we all did, wasn'’t it?
Yeah. Too bad cleo
doesn'’t know that it'’s over.
[Panting]
Ugh.
Ha ha! She knows
it'’s over now.
Ha ha!
Come on, emily.
Let'’s take these tablecloths
back inside the shack.
Oh, clifford.
Today was so much fun,
And I think everyone
really liked my dancing.
T-Bone: Of course they did, Cleo. It's fun to watch someone doing something they really love.
Cleo: Thank you, guys, for being there with me. It really helped to see your smiling faces backstage.
T-Bone: No problem, Cleo.
Clifford: That's what friends are for.
