DVD Reviews of Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake
DVD Review: Your Child Will Want to Be a Swan too!
Summary: 5 Stars
My girls (ages 5 1/2 and almost 4) love to dance. If you have girls, you might have already heard of Prima Princessa. If not, here's the gist - It's a hybrid presentation on DVD. Part entertainment, part education. It may be more appropriate to say that it is education under the guise of entertainment. It consists of a presentation of Swan Lake by The Paris Opera Ballet broken into acts. The acts are further broken up by mini ballet lessons explaining and demonstrating different ballet moves. The entire DVD is narrated by a youth-friendly voice and cartoon fairy princess.
When I pulled out the surprise DVD for the girls to watch, their mouths dropped open and they were mesmerized. Not only did they pay attention to the ballet, but they asked appropriate questions: My (Almost) 4 year old asked - "If he don't (SIC) find her, what's going to happen?" They also repeated the tutorial words like "Peer-oh-ette" and mimicked the student dancers. I tried to take a few pictures but was chastised by my 5 1/2 year old when I tried to get her to hold still for a snapshot. "Mom! I'm a Swan!"
When it was over, they both exclaimed in unison "I want to do it again." They both did a marvelous job on retelling the story even!
Another day, a neighbor showed up with her 4 year old daughter and 18 month old son, along with two 4 year old girls she was babysitting. After playing outside for a bit, I invited them in and we popped in Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake. If you could only have seen our family room filled with 6 children dancing along with the ballet and students!
The DVD was a hit with all the kids and I enjoyed it as well. I hate to admit that I've never bothered to watch any performance of Swan Lake so it turned out to be a learning experience for me too! I highly recommend this for any family with kids who love to dance.
