Review

This is a great film for young and old, especially those who like ballet. Your child will learn about the theater and see a real ballet. The producers did a great job of telling the story of Swan Lake with the visual aid of the real ballet. The filmmakers also did a good job of shortening the ballet just enough to keep the interest of the children. Your child will be introduced to the basic ballet moves and will learn a little more about this wonderful dance form.

This film is awarded the Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for family-friendly-viewing. --Debbie Satala of The Dove Foundation

5.0 out of 5 stars great for the princess stage, February 25, 2008

By	C. Sekhon (Pensacola, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What I like so much about this video is that it completely satisfies my 3yr old who is hungry for any and all items related to being a princess/ballerina. I find it very hard to stomach all the Disney princess stuff (I disagree with much of the content), and I think this is a great alternative. It provides a way to introduce her to the arts while also allowing her to feel like a princess, in the imaginary sense. The video is a mix of an actual performance of Swan Lake that breaks here and there with video footage of young children practicing ballet moves. This keeps it interesting for young children whose attention span is short.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prima Princessa DVD is a hit with both my girls., December 28, 2007

By	Sandy - See all my reviews

We got this DVD for our 3 year old who loves to dress-up and play princess. She loves it, of course. Our 9 year old was not expecting to like the video at all but the "real live ballerinas" were mesmerizing & she has declared Prima Princessa is "fabulous!" Thank you for a video both girls can enjoy together!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very impressed with this DVD, February 28, 2008

By	John & Heather (Upstate NY) - See all my reviews

The quality of this DVD is wonderful, you can tell a lot of thought went into making it and gearing it to teach and entertain little girls. The real ballet shown with clips of ballet vocabulary and of kids dancing around works perfectly.
