Here's another great product made by Moms! Stephanie Troeller and Mary Kate Mellow know what kids like, and they have found a way to make ballet exciting and accessible to young children through this lovely DVD, Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake. The quality of the DVD is wonderful; these mothers have a done a very professional job with what certainly began as an act of love.
The Prima Princessa in the title is a beautiful fairy who magically transports a class of preschool girls to the Paris Ballet Opera's performance of Swan Lake. As the fascinated children watch the ballet, the Princessa narrates for them. For this video, the performance of Swan Lake has been slightly shortened for the benefit of younger children, but nothing is lost in translation.
What really makes the video work is the interactivity it offers your child. After each act, the preschoolers return home to dress up in pretty tutus and learn a new simple ballet step. Kids will love dancing along with the children in the video, and the bright colors, costumes and toys scattered throughout are sure to keep their interest.
Mary Kate has her own blog set up over at Tutuzone, and you can learn more about Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake at the Prima Princessa website. The DVD is also available through Amazon.

This is great! I was going to sign my daughter up for dance lessons this afternoon, but we ran out of time.
I have 3 girls who love to dance around the living room - they would love this DVD! :)

My two year old loves to dance around to the Wiggles and I think she could get into this DVD as well.
