My daughter who loves ballet could not wait to get this. She is a very pretty doll and when you press her sides she does a ballet move. Very well made. Great doll for any girl.

This is a Barbie that has better play value than the usual vanilla versions. She has tabs at the side that you push to have her do a ballet jump/move. Her legs split and her arms come up gracefully. The dress she is wearing is quite lovely and she has long curly hair in the back. Her feet actually pivot - giving her the ability to land and then stand. It's one of the best design features about the doll.

Don't be put off by the hollow legs - this gives them the ability to move easily with the button mechanism at her sides. Since the mechanism is mechanical and not electrical, she has a lot more play value and less of the 'gimmicky' feel of the DVD-based Barbies.

My 7 year old was surprised at how much she likes this doll. She's not all that into ballet but likes how the doll moves.

I bought this for my barbie-loving 3 year old niece. When it arrived I was surprised that it was made of cheap, thin, hollow plastic and the makeup was painted on so that she looks more like a streetwalker/drag queen.
I returned this immediately as I did not want this atrocity anywhere near my niece.
