From the Back Cover

Welcome to Christy Curtis's dance classes for kids. Learn along with these other students in the video lessons for tap, jazz, and ballet. Each segment is helpfully repetitive and, unlike a real class, there's always the replay button! Perfect for parents trying to gauge their youngster's interest in dance before making an investment in classes or to those who want to share the joy of dancing. 102 minutes.

Jazz: Perfect for boys and girls! The girls wear traditional leotards, but the baggy clothes that the boys wear have turned this video into a "hip hop" learning experience for all ages too! Miss Christy teaches the basic steps, a few at a time, slowly at first and progressively speeding it up for more of a challenge. In not time, your children will be DANCIN! Tap: At any age, learning to tap dance is lots of fun and great exercise, but for children ages 6 and up, it is also a wonderful way to develop coordination and balance, rhythm, speed, and to develop or improve timing, strength, and agility. Tap is the all-American form of musical theatre expression. Ballet: This program is structured just like a formal ballet class, featuring exercises at the barre, port-de-bras, center, and traveling moves. Whether learning, practicing, or just for plain fun, this is a program your future ballerina will watch over and over again because Christy makes ballet fun and easy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for kids, not really that instructional, November 24, 2004

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good workout for grownups, but a little fast paced for kids, July 31, 2009

By	M. Metler "mom and teacher" (Memphis, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 :)
