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.

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!

We bought this for our 7-year old for Christmas. We are dissapointed in the quality. The mat is flimsy and so creased from being in the package that it will not lay flat. The headset feels "cheap" also. The video is VERY difficult, especially for a child. The "dancers" don't use much vocabulary to help the child get started. They just start dancing and expect the kid to keep up. It's VERY fast. I even had trouble following along. Our daughter was so frustrated, she cried. I do not recommend it for young children, especially those with little or no prior dance experience.

I love this thing! My mom got me Bella Cheerleader so I could work out while having fun! I bought this one for myself because this is the one I wanted, but the store ran out. Awesome for kids who love to dance!

We purchased this for our daughter after she loved the original ballet version so much. I expected the same quality of the original product and was very disappointed. The mat is very cheap and flimsy and my daughter broke the headset trying to get it on her head.

Do not like this product at all...the girls on the video are not facing the right way for easy instruction...we have to go the opposite way...very uncool...my daughter started crying, too...i told her it wasn't her fault...you want your child to feel good about themselves and all it does is make them feel like they aren't good enough...do not waste your money!

My kids all love to dance, they take dance class, but it's only a couple hours a week. This gives them a chance to have fun at home! They love it, and it gives them exersice while watching TV instead of just becoming couch potatoes like the majority of kids these days. (mine included) The media is so geared to TV for kids that it's hard to tell them "No" - but this at least gets them up and dancing, instead of playing video games and getting fat!

These are good for all ages!
