This week on Kids Commute, we’re listening to Aaron Copland and Agnes DeMille's rollicking cowboy ballet, "Rodeo!"
It's been a long day at the rodeo and now it's time to celebrate back at the ranch for an evening of dancing!
It's a "Buckaroo Holiday," but who will the cowgirl end up dancing with at this "Ranch House Party?"
Maybe she'll stroll the "Corral" at night to give herself a chance to think before its time for the "Saturday Night Waltz."
She'll have a partner right in time for the "Hoedown!" (Not that she needs one...)
