I'm Aloe Blacc.

0:00:10.720,0:00:14.080
I'm a singer/songwriter and entertainer.

0:00:14.080,0:00:16.840
I think computer science is really important to learn

0:00:16.840,0:00:19.240
because computer science is the future.

0:00:19.240,0:00:25.680
And I think it's important for people to be in control of the technology

0:00:25.680,0:00:29.040
that is literally controlling their lives.

0:00:29.520,0:00:34.559
To make different dance moves happen at just the right time with the music,

0:00:34.560,0:00:38.080
you can use something called events.

0:00:38.080,0:00:42.160
An event tells your program to listen for something to happen,

0:00:42.160,0:00:44.320
and then react right away.

0:00:44.320,0:00:48.800
Some examples of events are listening for a mouse click,

0:00:48.800,0:00:54.360
an arrow button, or a tap on the screen.

0:00:54.360,0:00:58.880
The event we're going to use now will listen for a change in the song.

0:00:58.880,0:01:03.640
The change will trigger your dancer to do a new dance.

0:01:03.680,0:01:10.360
Professional dancers practice their choreography by counting the beats of the song.

0:01:10.360,0:01:14.960
In music, a measure refers to a certain number of beats.

0:01:14.960,0:01:20.440
In most popular songs a measure is 4 beats long.

0:01:20.440,0:01:24.870
To get your dancers to let loose, you'll need a green event block.

0:01:24.880,0:01:30.200
This event block says after four measures.

0:01:30.200,0:01:37.240
If you drag out a purple 'do forever' block, you can pick a dance for your dancer to do.

0:01:37.240,0:01:40.840
Because it's under the after four measures event block,

0:01:40.840,0:01:46.720
your dancer will wait for four measures of the song before starting their dance.

0:01:46.720,0:01:51.100
Keep an eye on the measure counter at the top of the display area.

0:01:51.100,0:01:55.520
Look and listen for the event that will[br]trigger the dance code.

0:01:56.940,0:02:00.320
And right on cue our dancer starts going!
