GoNoodle, a new cross-platform offering that will elevate and celebrate the multicultural world in which our children live today. With the support of Children’s Health in Dallas, come on!

“Working with children is being integrated into the diversity of our country and our world. Let’s go! GoNoodle will allow all children to bond with new friends through language, music and dancing,” says GoNoodle CEO KC Estenson. “We’re not just translating GoNoodle — Come on! GoNoodle is a celebration of the Latin cultures we see in our audience. It’s bilingual and bicultural content that we hope will inspire movement and generate good energy for all children.”
Let’s go! GoNoodle arose from GoNoodle’s commitment to the inclusion and creation of culturally relevant content that benefits physical well-being, academic success and socio-emotional health. GoNoodle has seen an increase in the need for offers that more deeply reflect the diversity of the world in which we live. To that end, GoNoodle partnered with Black // Brown to create a strategy based on diversity and inclusion. Let’s go! GoNoodle is the result, the mission is to provide Latino children, and every child, with a new offer from GoNoodle to enjoy and parents and teachers a new resource to explore the language and celebrate Latin cultures.
“From the beginning, GoNoodle was determined to let go! GoNoodle would be more than just a project, product or package for Latinos,” said Charlie Echeverry, CEO of Black // Brown. “They made a strategic determination to better serve their various districts and then relyed on unique and diverse knowledge to build a solution that would benefit their entire value chain. The result adds value to Latinos and everyone else as well.”

We’ll continue to grow every week as new videos, learning extensions, downloadable and more appear online.

“GoNoodle is a must in my classroom. It arouses the interest of my students and engages them in a fun and educational way. I teach at a two-language school, one week in Spanish, the next in English, so I’m constantly looking for bilingual content,” says Ms Miranda, a fourth-grade teacher at Farine Elementary in the Dallas area. “I’m grateful that we’re coming! GoNoodle will be inclusive for all my students and will promote and celebrate Latin cultures.”
