great for the princess stage
26 Feb 2008
What I like so much about this video is that it completely satisfies my 3yr old who is hungry for any and all items related to being a princess/ballerina. I find it very hard to stomach all the Disney princess stuff (I disagree with much of the content), and I think this is a great alternative. It provides a way to introduce her to the arts while also allowing her to feel like a princess, in the imaginary sense. The video is a mix of an actual performance of Swan Lake that breaks here and there with video footage of young children practicing ballet moves. This keeps it interesting for young children whose attention span is short.

Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake
9 Mar 2010
Format:DVD
I was really excited to review this video, with three girls in the family ballerinas are loved. At first I sat down with my older two girls to watch it, and half way through the video the younger two kids came and sat down.
This is a really great way to introduce Ballet to children of all ages. The video starts of with Prima Princess who narrates the story. The video features the Paris Opera Ballet performing four acts of Swan Lake. In between each act, their are children from the school of American Ballet who show you how to do specific ballet steps. There are four steps taught:
* Pirouette- to turn
* jete`- to jump
* pas de chat - step of the cat
* grand battement- big kick
Each step is spoken and then illustrated by the child ballerinas, then there are scenes to reinforce what each step means. For instance-Jete` means to jump, they then showed a cat jumping etc. I really liked how each step was shown and then reinforced repeatedly. In between the acts are scenes of small little girls dressed up in their tutus dancing around and laughing.
I really thought this was a great video, and even though it says ages 3-6 all my kids liked certain parts. My older daughters (8) and (6) enjoyed the ballerinas performing, while the youngest (20 months) liked to watch when the little girls danced and played.

Prima Princessa DVD is a hit with both my girls.
28 Dec 2007
We got this DVD for our 3 year old who loves to dress-up and play princess. She loves it, of course. Our 9 year old was not expecting to like the video at all but the "real live ballerinas" were mesmerizing & she has declared Prima Princessa is "fabulous!" Thank you for a video both girls can enjoy together!
