What do all these things have in common? They all danced it out yesterday at the Mattel headquarters!
That’s right, thanks to a very special partnership between Special Olympics and Mattel, the Special Olympics Board of Directors, including Maria Shriver, 50 Special Olympics young athletes and 60 Mattel employee volunteers enjoyed an outdoor event with activity stations, soccer, basketball and of course dancing, “BARBIE-Style!”
Choregrapher JaQuel Knight, who helped bring Barbie to life in her first music and dance video, taught the excited group how to dance a series of doll-like moves and grooves.
Quick…show us your best Barbie move! Now, strike a pose, there’s nothing to it!
We tip our hats to Mattel for this awesome event!
Dream Big. Do the Barbie!
