Steve Backshall takes a look at some of the extraordinary dance-like moves that animals perform to survive all aspects of life.
With music from favourites like Olly Murs, Meghan Trainor and the Bee Gees, we see lemurs ballet dancing and shrews doing the conga to get around, humpback whales performing a tightly synchronised routine to get a meal, and daredevil toads turning themselves into rubber balls and hurling themselves off cliffs to escape from predators.
This programme explores how dancing in the animal world, whether solo or group routines, is an integral part of everyday life.
