4.0 out of 5 stars Best available ballerina video for preschoolers, August 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Wish I Were a Ballerina [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My preschool daughters watched this video so many times they wore out the tape! While Wishing Well Willy is a bit grating, Jessica the young ballerina wannabe more than makes up for it. Introduces ballet, jazz and modern dance. This video is absolutely the best one I have found for preschoolers.

After reading the reviews here and at half.com I went ahead and purchased this video. I knew I wasn't getting a full ballet lesson and I knew this would not make my daughter a ballerina over night. But it did spark more interest in ballet and dance.

Wishing Well Willy is a magical person who helps a little girl make her dreams of becoming a ballerina come true first by showing her three different ballet styles, Classic, Jazz and Modern. Willy adds humor, which all children video's need.

The moves were very easy to do, they had basic steps and they made it fun for children to learn. My girls are 6, 4 and 3 and they absolutely enjoy this video and have watched over and over again. Worth every penny!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good video for younger kids just getting interested in dance, February 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Wish I Were a Ballerina [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A friend loaned me her copy of "I Wish I Were a Ballerina". My two children ( girl 3 years and boy 18 months) love it. My daughter loves to dance along and try all of the different steps. My son just sits entranced as the children dance. From a parent's standpoint, my only criticism of the tape is that I wish they demonstrated a step more than once. Most often it is only shown once or at the most twice and that isn't enough for small children. It would have also been nice to show the children how to make their feet move into the positions a bit more. I guess just a bit more instruction would be nice. But, overall, our family LOVES the tape.
