However, one thing that they'll always dance along with is our copy of Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake that we reviewed earlier this year. A DVD filled with segments of Swan Lake, ballet instruction, little girls twirling and a cute fairy narrating the whole thing? What's not to love?
And now, just in time for holiday shopping, there is more love to go around with the recently released Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcracker.

In this 60-minute ballet-themed DVD aimed at ages 3 - 7, viewers are able to see a mix of dancers, beginning with England's famed Birmingham Royal Ballet performing The Nutcracker,

Then, for a fun interactive experience for young children, in between acts of The Nutcracker this DVD also features dance lesson montages with students from New York City Ballet's School of American Ballet as well as cute kids in tutus performing the moves.
Having warned Big Sister E and Little Sister B that this was going to be a DVD about dancing, they were both excited for the show to begin. But then when the opening scenes from The Nutcracker came on the screen, time seemed to slow down and they were both frozen watching the ballet.

Racing into their playroom for the dress-up bin, when they returned it was time for my ballerinas to fully participate in the fun.

As a fun surprise, we also enjoyed the extra features on Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcracker. After viewing ballet arm positions, there was a Holiday Party (showing cookie decorating), Holiday Freeze Dancing (twirling and dancing until the music stops) and Holiday Crafts (paper snowflakes, a paper chain and folded paper fans) all set to holiday music. Now we're definitely ready for December!

(Other than the copy of Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcracker that I was sent from Prima Princessa, I was not provided with anything or enticed to do this review in any way. This review is solely my opinion of this DVD.)

My cousin's seven-year-old daughter would really like this video. She loves to dance! I think she would enjoy the lessons along with the show.
Well, Zoe would just love this right now....the girls are so cute.
Thanks for following me on Tuesday tag-along. I followed you back and tried to email you but couldn't access your email! Anyway, nice to see your blog. Very cute baseball set for little ones!
The littlest one is so engrossed in watching, the older girl is pretty in tune to it also. Too cute.
I love the photos of your daughters "mesmerized" watching the ballet.
Helpful blog, bookmarked the website with hopes to read more!
