How do you make a tissue dance? You put a little boogie in it.

In the Q&A Interview made by The Guardian to Sheryl Crow, the last question is:

Tell us a joke
How do you make a tissue dance?
You put a little boogie in it.

It's a bit difficult to understand it for a foreigner. I'll try to explain it.

A tissue dance, according with https://activeforlife.com/tissue-dance/ works like this:

Every child places a tissue on his or her head. As the music starts, the children begin dancing. Parents should encourage as much movement as possible.

The goal is for the children to keep the tissues on their heads as they dance. If it falls off, the child can grab it and place it back on his or her head, but if it touches the ground, the child is out.

The last child left dancing wins!

But, what about the second part of the joke? Its a pun.

Boogie: / buːgi / (verb): When you boogie, you dance to fast pop music.
Bogey: / boʊgi / (noun): A bogey is a piece of dried mucus that comes from inside your nose.

So, if you put a bogey under the tissue is very easy for you to win in a tissue dance.
