3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart or easily irritated parent., November 17, 2005

This review is from: Bella Dancerella Pop Star Studio DVD (Toy)

There is always something in our childhood that our parents despised. There's always that one obsession. Mine was watching My little pony videos over and over until my parents "lost" the video.

Bella Dancerella Pop Star is the same way.

My daughter LOVES it, but she also wants to watch it 3 times a day. The music doesn't change throughout the entire video (for each different routine it's the same song) so that definitely gets old fast. The girls are a little over the top, acting-wise, but that's a given i suppose. The instruction is a little condescending and cheesy, but again, that's not suprising.

Overall, your kids will adore it, but it will drive you insane. Here's hoping someone smart will come up with a "movement" dance video with GOOD music.

but for now i'll be hearing "everybody do the breakdown! the bella breakdown!" in my head for eternity.

Note: i'm thinking that they might have the soundtrack to this video in hell.

My 7 year old daughter can't get enough of it. It teaches basic dance moves by using a mat with numbers on it and then they put it to music. In a matter of hours, my daugther was dancing away. She loves it. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Bella Dancerella Pop Star Studio DVD (Toy)

My daughter received this for her 5th birthday. She has some ballet experience so we thought she would pick up on this rather quickly. Only one portion of the DVD is really instructional-And that part is FAST FAST FAST! Did I say Fast?! Thank goodness for the rewind feature on the DVD-- This music is redundant--but that's ok--my daughter loves it. She so wants to follow & do the dancing but there is little to no actual step-by-step instruction. It's basically several cute bubbly girls dancing away on a plastic numbered mat.

On the upside--she still loves her microphone headset & singing along. This product could easily be improved by adding chapters with varying difficulty level so as to allow younger children to catch on. The label DOES say 5 years & up!
