Hip Hop Harry

Hip Hop Harry is an American children's television show that aired on Discovery Kids and TLC as part of the Ready Set Learn block from 2006 to 2008, as well as several Retro Television Network affiliates, as an E/I-compliant program. Similar to PBS Kids series such as Barney & Friends, Kidsongs and Sesame Street, Hip Hop Harry is a live-action program aimed at younger children ranging from about 2–10 years old. The program uses age-appropriate hip hop music and dance to teach social, educational, physical and creative skills.
In 2017, Harry was featured in the YouTube web series Hip Hop Harry Toy Review.
In 2020, Hip Hop Harry had a resurgence in popularity on social media following the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing protests. Clips of the "Hip Hop Harry Dance Circle" portion of the show first resurfaced on Twitter when director and author Matthew A. Cherry posted a short video in response to reports that all four of the officers involved in the murder had been arrested. The video went viral and many across social media continued to post various dancing clips from the show in celebration of victories in the fight for police reform and racial equality.
==Synopsis==
The show takes place in a learning/play center house known as "Hip Hop Central", where Hip Hop Harry and his kids learn, play and dance. In between, the kids learn about the main topic of the episode. After they have learned about the topic, they sing and rap the song "I Love to Learn." Then, the kids and Hip Hop discuss what they've learned via questions/answers and watching recaps from the day's episode via a push-button monitor. Each episode ends with the "Hip Hop Harry Dance Circle", where the kids circle up while one of them dances in the center as they shout, "Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!". Even Harry dances in the circle too (thus, the kids shout, "Go, Harry!"). But before they dance, they do a warm-up dance called, "The Harry". After the kids come together to move in the middle, the credits roll.
