Stand Up! (And Boogie) is about the joy of music and dance, but also about the importance of being yourself, whoever and wherever you are.

Say you’re a musician, or a dancer You love nothing more than playing some gorgeous tune or jumping your body in time with the beat. But then one day you have to stop singing and dancing, shut your instrument away in its case, take off your dance shoes and no longer do the thing you love any more. How would that feel? Surely all the notes and the moves that you couldn’t let out would build up and build up inside you until… BANG- they’d all burst out and you’d just have to stand up and boogie!
