This video has 3 different sections, jazz, tap, and ballet. It doesn't really show you exactly how to do too many of the steps or positions, it gives kids an idea of what goes on in a children's dance class. I think it also, unfortunately, gives the impression that you go to a class or two and then you can do the combination at the end of the sections. My Kindergarten-aged daughter does, however, like to try some of the moves (especially ballet) along with the dvd. For anyone looking for detailed instruction, this isn't it. But, for fun and maybe some introduction to dance, it is fine.

I bought this for my daughter when she started dance class, and it quickly moves beyond the level her Ballet/Tap class reaches, into combinations which are actually pretty difficult. Having said that, she enjoys dancing along with the DVD, even though she's nowhere close to doing the moves, and I've had a lot of fun dancing with her, and have noticed that doing all the moves is quite a workout. I suspect there are better instructional DVDs out there for kids, but this one is about the right pace for this mid-30s mom :)
