Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake DVD review and Giveaway!!!

My friend Mama A, got the chance to review another DVD with her toddler daughter, and here's what they thought:

What it is:
Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake is a DVD designed to introduce classical ballet to kids. It features the Paris Opera Ballet performing Swan Lake, plus students from the School of American Ballet demonstrating basic ballet moves, and adorable cartoon ballerinas explaining the story.









Who Makes It:
Prima Princessa is a company started by two mommies who wanted to share their love of ballet with their daughters.

First Impressions:
I loved the cover of the DVD-it’s bright pink with ballerinas on the front. It immediately attracted my daughter’s attention too! It wasn’t long after opening the package that we had the DVD in the DVD player for her to watch.

General Impressions:
I honestly love watching this DVD with my daughter. It’s great. It shows the Swan Lake production by the Paris Opera Ballet and during intermission there are snippets of basic ballet moves and little girls doing these moves. I love the fact that the entire Swan Lake story is explained while they are showing it; I believe this is what kept my daughter’s attention. She loves stories! During the snippets my daughter would get up and actually try the moves (as seen in these pictures!) For days now she has been coming up to me and saying, “Mommy, I be ‘rina’(ballerina)” while handing me her mommymade tutu! I was impressed that she even got her DADDY to get up and do some of the jumping around with her! In fact, this has become the DVD I put in to keep my daughter entertained when I need to get housework done!

Pros:

• Shows basic concepts of ballet to where toddlers can enjoy it.
• Explains the Swan Lake story so little kids can understand what’s going on while keeping their attention.
• The Prima Princessa cartoon is just as cute as can be!

Cons:

• Very girly so it may not appeal to some boys

The bottom line:
It is a wonderful DVD for any princess (or prince) to watch and learn the basics of ballet.
