Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode with Jumbah as the warm-up leader.
  • This is the first episode to have Jamaica & Australia as the 2 country intro, the "Quick Boohbah Action" warm-up, and the "Hiding in a Line" dance.
  • This episode's Storyworld segment was shot on May 14, 2002.
  • The official description of this episode states that the Boohbahs do a twisting exercise, but in the actual episode, they do a leg-lifting and arm-moving exercise.

Goofs[]

  • This is the first episode where the child doesn't sing "Boohbah..." as soon as the dance ends. The second episode is "Musical Pipe", and the third episode is "Big Windows". However, in the US version of this episode, at the end of the Hiding in a Line dance, only 1 Boohbah was squeaking twice while the other Boohbahs were silent and the child singing "Boohbah..." retains when the dance ends.
