Dancing Queen

April 17, 2026 by Dusty Cavaliere

Negra has always loved when her caregivers dance for her. She is great at finding the beat and grooving along with us. I personally don’t know where this came from but her passion for rhythm has sparked silliness and laughter in all of us to entertain her with our good and bad dance moves.

See that girl, watch her gleam, she’s our Dancing Queen!

    This little video brought tears to my eyes. Happy tears. You guys think of everything and everybody. Your attention to every little detail and every little need of each and every chimpanzee is inspiring. So are your dance moves! I wish I could join you for a dance party for our Dancing Queen. Maybe I need to send Negra a disco ball for all of you to dance under.

    Thank you for being so silly and spreading so much joy.

    Darling Gorgeous Queen,
    ‘Dancing Queen’ was Queen Elizabeth’s favorite song. She loved to dance to it.
    We are so happy that both Queens love the tune!
    Beautiful Negra, your sense of rhythm is extraordinary.
    And So Are You!
    As Always, Sending All Our Love ? ?

    Please disregard the question marks at the end of our prior comment.
    We included 2 hearts at the end and they appeared as question marks.
    Our love for Negra is unquestionable!

So all of us know that when there is a?, There was probably supposed to be an emoji there. no worries. As in my comment up above, you never know when an emoji is gonna show up or not. In that case, I got one of the emojis and two question marks
