If you watched the media coverage of Hurricane Sandy recently, you may have also noticed there was a bit of a buzz over the interpreter who stood by New York’s Mayor Blumberg offering up his message via American Sign Language (ASL). There was, unfortunately, some negative hype over her expressive way of signing. On the other hand, it also opened the door to some great conversation on why exactly signing is so expressive.

But not to worry, you can exercise indoors with Alex, Leah – and your child! Enter the Move and Groove DVD. With signs like JUMP, SPIN, WALK, and RUN, your child will have a blast moving in creative ways throughout the environment.
