Bella Ballerina Home Ballet Studio marries fantasy, role-play and education to literally transport little girls into the magical world of ballet. Join Bella and her friends as they sing and dance their way through ballet class and learn the five basic ballet positions, while singing their fun dancing songs. The Bella Ballerina Studio includes a double-sided step-by-step mat, easy-to-assemble ballet barre and a 30-minute fully choreographed instructional video. |

 Written on December 27, 2005 Summary: Some flaws and some perfections This toy is fun for a begginer ballerina! But they won't be playing with it for more than a year. All it shows is the 5 steps. I think it could have little more learning about ballet stuff other than just the 5 steps. I agree that the video/DVD has too much dialouge. I think it should cut out some of talking to Max the monkey,who you can hardly understand with his grumbly voice. There is also this dumb song about eating healthy and three girls are dressed up as a banana, strawberry, and pumpkin. I like the message of eating healthy but the banana bend, and pumpkin bump are boring for a child. Bella is a good teacher though. But the steps go fast, it is kind of hard to understand. What is L&R anyway? If it is a very young child you are buying this for you might wnat to reconsider. It might be little complicated for very young children. There is also a part in the VHS/DVD where you do the swan dance.I think the Swan Dance has no purpose because all you do is turn to your side and flitter your hands.Do not buy this for an advanced ballerina, they will be very bored. But for begginer ballerinas, it will be fine.  Written on December 26, 2005 Summary: Strange Video My four year old who takes ballet was so excited to do this video. but after a 5 minute intro she asked "when is this commercial going to stop?" The video was too fast paced and with giant teddy bears and a talking monkey puppet was too strange. After 10 minutes my daughter became extremely frustrated and gave up. I'll be buying a different ballet video. On a positive note ... she liked the bar and the mat. Written on December 21, 2005 Summary: A little diappointed :( I am a dance instructor and purchased this toy for my friends' 3 year old daughter who does not live anywhere close to a dance studio. I thought this would be a great way to get her started with ballet. The package indicates that it is for ages 3-8. I do not believe this to be true whatsoever! Although I think it is a fabulous idea, the ballet barre is flimsy and I think the video was simply terrible. There is too much "down time" with the silly bears & monkeys (who barely speak understandable english). The actual instructional portion is ok - but certainly not geared for a three year old! It progresses way too fast and requires the child to know their left and right feet. Suggestion: If you are in this same situation with a younger child: Dye their shoes one pink and one purple. This way they can place their feet according to colors on the mat if they aren't familiar with L&R yet. Because I am an instructor I really feel that the video could have been 10,000 times better. I think its a great idea and definitely on the right track -- however I don't think I'll be investing in anymore of their products. Written on December 19, 2005 Summary: Good investment and starter for kinder dancers I bought this thinking I was getting the right thing last christmas; I was apparently very wrong, but I bet if I'd gotten what she really meant (baby princess ballet studio) it would have sat unused alot more over the past year. My daughter's in pre-school dance and now kinderdance and kinder-ballet - she LOVES this dance studio at home. She sets up the bar and mat, changes into her full dance gear and plugs in the dvd (or vhs) and gets moving! She loves the songs, the sing-song thru the 5 positions and it significantly helped at dance class to know the proper names of positions and how to place your foot (from the mat). EXCELLENT value! Would be great if this had supplemental videos to go thru the next couple stages or moves that build on the 5 positions. Written on December 18, 2005 Summary: Great start to Ballet My daughter loves this...she takes classes and this helps her prictice at home |
