 Awesome for toddlersDec 09, 2009

I bought this as a gift for my granddaughters 2nd birthday. She loves it!!! The "instructor" makes it very easy for children of all ages to learn the steps and follow along. We play this repeatedly and are hoping to find others like it to keep her entertained. A great choice and lots of fun!

Great videoJun 26, 2008

This video is really great. My two year old loves to exercise but the videos that I have are made for adults, so this was great for her. She loves all the different dances and the fun characters that are on this video. I just love to see her exercising and having fun at the same time. This video teaches her that taking care of herself can also be fun and feel good. My one year old even stomps around and does some of the dances, she is already enjoying the video and will probably just enjoy it more and more as she gets older and more able to understand it. And it is a great alternative to TV and sitting around watching cartoons! Buy it and get your kids of the couch!

 Kids love it!Jan 26, 2007

Okay, so it's goofy, annoying, off-pitch in places, but hey...the kids just love it! I bought the video for my son when he was 2. Now that he is 7 and my daughter is 3, I had to buy the DVD because we threw away our last VCR. They get a good workout from dancing all the way through the show. Fun!

Gets them movingJul 25, 2011
By LE
I bought this for my 2 1/2 yr. old to help her burn off energy when we couldn't take her outside due to weather. She loves it and has asked for it every day since it arrived. (In fact, she's watching it right now.) The dances are very simple and easy to learn.
It has eight songs/dances:
"A Very Simple Dance": This one is her favorite. It gradually guides them through a bunch of moves (clap your hands, stomp your feet, turn around, touch your toes, etc.). I helped my daughter follow along the first two times and she did it on her own the third time. It reminds me of the little Dash's Dance Party clips on PBS.
"I'm a Little Airplane": I've seen this one on Sesame Street. The kids run around pretending to be airplanes.
"Birdland Jump": Lots of jumping to a jazz song, plus things like flapping your arms, etc.
"Do the Dog": They crawl around pretending to be dogs (barking, turning in circles, etc.)
"Do the Jelly": Reminds me of that 60s dance, The Swim
"Cat Had a Birthday": No real dance moves for this one. Kids jump to the song and say animal noises.
"Doin' the Grouch": Scowling, stomping, etc.
"A New Way to Walk": Kids are supposed to walk funny, with several suggestions provided. Clips of lots of other people strutting/dancing, including lots of celebrities, like Garth Brooks and Marisa Tomei. My daughter doesn't understand this one yet.
After that, there's a freestyle dance segment followed by a "Bonus Track" with Elmo rapping the alphabet 90s-style.
There are only a few lines of dialogue between each segment, and the opening two minutes of skit are easily skipped from the menu. Yes, the dancing is really simple and sometimes is basically just jumping, but she's two -- I'm not looking for the meringue. I rated it four stars instead of five because of things only adults would care about. The whole thing looks about 15-20 yrs. old, and the plot is really annoying. The dance instructor Celina complains about being tired after nearly every dance, and the more you watch it, the creepier Big Bird's responses become. (Well, I don't know Celina. This is Radar's party, and Radar says he wants another dance.) Celina's singing is sometimes offkey. Despite these things, it was exactly what I was looking for. It gets my daughter physically active on days she can't run around outside, and she enjoys it.
