My daughter is 3 1/2 and like most girls is into Barbie DVDs and ballet. From the moment I put this disc in she couldn't take her eyes off of it. The video has good instruction that's easy for tots to follow. She always looks forward to doing it. It's an excuse for her to watch TV and exercise at the same time. Get one.

This review is from: How to Be a Ballerina/How to Be a Ballet Dancer (DVD)

My 2 year old daughter loves this video. She actually will sit and watch it all the way through. It has little girls dancing and dressing and being exciting aobut it all, and she loves to watch them. They show footage from professional ballets and even show the girls in the video doing a stage performance....all this is great to spark interest and help my daughter understand the whole world of dance a little better. However, if you are looking for a video to begin to teach ballet I would choose another one. The video assumes that you already know what a Plie is and goes right into a full fledge dance. It dosent start from square one as far as form and postition go.

Unless your child is at least, perhaps, seven, and has ballet experience, I think this DVD will mostly be frustrating. It attempts to "teach" some pretty complex choreography, while posing as a DVD for younger children. It does have some moderately fun warm ups and glimpses into a ballet school, but the majority of it, the dancing, is really far too complicated for little children. This could be simplified and made enjoyable to a wider range of kids.
