Sesame Street Live: Elmo’s Got the Moves! Brings Families Into the Action
The audience is invited to join the movement in Sesame Street Live: Elmo’s Got the Moves!, with children and parents encouraged to dance along with Elmo and his Sesame Street friends. The performance is listed for 2 p.m. Sunday, February 21, 2027, at San Jose Civic.
Movement is part of the format
The event description offers yoga, jumping rope, cartwheeling and silly dancing as examples of how families might move along. They are prompts, not a published sequence: the listing does not say when each activity happens or describe a skill requirement.
That makes the show’s participatory premise clear, while leaving the details of audience involvement open. Families looking for a timed activity plan will not find one in the event listing.

Three song titles, not a running order
The listing identifies Sunny Days, Elmo’s Got the Moves and Letter of the Day among the songs. These give a sense of the music, but they are not a complete setlist, and no order or song-by-song schedule is published.

A historic downtown theater
San Jose Civic opened in 1936. The venue profile credits Binder & Curtis with its Spanish California Mission-style design and notes that the building has hosted dance productions, cultural celebrations and family entertainment.
A renovation completed in 2012 updated seating, technology, accessibility and guest amenities, according to the venue profile. Those are general venue details, not confirmation of specific arrangements for this performance.
