Bella Dancerella - Swan Lake

Your little girl will love this. It is very simple. She will enjoy it very much, I think.My granddaughter at 3 through 6yrs old, loved it.

My 4 aspiring little ballerinas love dancing along!!! They are Special Needs ages 1-8 yos & absolutely love it! Great DVD for in between formal lessons to practice!!! Highly recommend!

The DVD is great except for the fact that they use a ballet bar and mat that did not come with the DVD. Made for some tears from my 4 yr. old. Wish I knew that this was an incomplete order, I would not have bought it here.

Daughter is teaching herself dance steps, she keeps up with Bella. Whether on floor, practicing steps, or at the bar, daughter keeps going as long as DVD runs.

Our 7 year old loves this. Simply has fun watching and dancing...

Great video for my kids

I got this for my 4-yr-old granddaughter. She called me after she watched it the first time. She was excited about learning ballet moves. She watches it 2-3 times a day (she'd watch it more if she were allowed to!). I just saw her today, about a week after she first got it. She couldn't wait to show me the different positions with her feet and hands. My granddaughter improvised the mat and bar. She uses a 12x12 inch square for her mat and the back of a child-sized chair for her bar. She wasn't at all disappointed to not have the mat and bar shown on the dvd.

My three year old has developed a ballet obsession. This video claims to be perfect for beginners and teach the basics of ballet so I bought a set which included the mat and bar. After the conclusion of the video my daughter was still expecting to be taught what to do with the bar, which is only touched a time or two when the arms come down to rest on it for a second. It moves way too fast without bothering to explain the moves ahead of time. The pace seems to expect someone to already be familiar with ballet, yet it is "teaching" the very basics such as positions 1,2&3. The entire thing plays like an irritating commercial redundantly singing ecstatically about Bella ballet. It could work, if first the instructor would slowly speak and explain what they are doing before singing through it in hyper speed. There is barley any camera work on the feet to show what to do, though at times they have a split screen showing the foot work in a small box. My daughter is highly intelligent so she might be able to pick something up from it from repeated viewing, but it was not at all what I was expecting. She is still singing "Bella Bella dancerella" as I type this (as we just finished it and I was so disappointed I wanted to help you avoid disappointment.) If you just want a cheery video to watch other people dance ballet then this is fine. I am continuing my search for something to actually TEACH ballet to a little girl.
