DVD Reviews of Tinkerbell's Learn Ballet Step by Step
DVD Review: I liked it better than my daughter
Summary: 3 Stars
I would have given this 4 stars because I *personally* thought it was a good DVD for the money and it included exactly what I was looking for. However, I had to give it a 3 because my daughter would only watch it once.
I should mention that she just turned 7 and does sometimes tire of activities quickly--within about a week. However, she's been ballet crazy for years, and tends to do better with "aged down" activities anyway. So I thought this would be a perfect introduction, since our local ballet school's class times don't fit our schedule.
The quality of the video is good and the instruction seems appropriate for a rank beginner. A child who has had more than a few ballet lessons might find it boring, though. It's VERY basic. My daughter went through the entire DVD class dutifully and I thought she was enjoying it. Afterward she complained of soreness from the workout and we talked about ballerinas working hard and needing to be strong to dance as they do.
That was that. The DVD never came out again, and my daughter refused when I offered it. Turns out that she felt there was too much rote instruction of "this arm here, bend there" positioning and not enough of the "fun" part of dancing she was expecting. Maybe her expectations were too high for beginner ballet, but there WAS a lot of perfunctory stuff so I could see her point. I'm going to look for a DVD that offers more actual dance choreography to see if that rekindles her interest. In any case, I thought I'd post our experience here for anyone whose child is at a similar age/interest level.
