¿Cuál es el context? ¿Que crees que significa?
No idea!!!
could you give us more context?
It's rather confusing. It could mean many things

Es dificil de traducir, pero significa cuando bailaba se bajo, tu sabes cuando doblas las rodillas y te vas bajando poco a poco...
En pocas palabras es una forma de bailar.
Espero ayude,

Hola,
I've heard when there's a fire, you have to get low and go.
I take it that you "get low" to be in a closer position to crawl outside your door.
Can I say "don't get low to pick up that coin"?
Is it better to say don't "bend down" to pick up that coin or don't "bend over"...
Which one's best?
Thank you much.

Don't "bend down" or "bend over" would be the usual way to say it. "Get low and go" was presumably chosen as a slogan because of the rhyme, but in addition "bending down" is not the same as "crawling" on all fours.
Bend down / bend over are more current than "get low".
"Get low and go" is the sort of thing that is often used (especially in the USA) to teach children as it is easier to remember because of the rhyme. "Get down on the ground and get out as quickly as possible" is not as catchy.
I would translate as "agachate y sal".

Thanks Chris. Also thanks for the nuance.
BTW, I've also heard "I lean over to tie my shoes". Did I get this right?
Does it really make any difference whether I say "lean over", "bend over" or "bend down", because "lean" to me is more like "rest".
Thank you.

Gracias, elirlandes.
I understand then, "agáchate" = get low.
That's why I was somehow confused, because, I thought "agachate" = bend down / bend over.

Bend would be a better choice. Bend is like doblar; lean more like inclinar.
Muchas gracias, Chris.
me queda claro.
