We have a Winner! Thanks everyone for entering! Our winner is Heather who said "My favorite part of ballet are the tutus :) Thanks for the giveaway!"Having a daughter is one of the things I have always wanted in life...someone I could share "girly" things with like shopping, pedicures, dressing up and dancing. I was given the opportunity to review a newly released DVD titled Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake. I was very excited to watch this DVD. I grew up loving to watch dancing of all kinds and could often be seen dancing around my house. This DVD is unlike anything I've seen before.
It was created by two moms, Stephanie Troeller and Mary Kate Mellow, who wanted to present ballet to their daughters in a way they would understand. This DVD teaches "classical ballet through nature, toys, music, and laughter." This DVD is broken into four sections, each section being an Act from Swan Lake. The ballet is performed by the Paris Opera Ballet and narrated by the cute, animated Prima Princessa. After each Act, a simple ballet step is introduced and it encourages audience participation.
My 8 month old, Miss Maddie (dressed in her tu-tu), and I watched this DVD together. I immediately fell in love and I think Miss Maddie enjoyed it, too. I can't wait for Miss Maddie to watch this as she grows up. I would recommend this DVD to anyone with a daughter. The simple and magical way this DVD presents Swan Lake will awaken the little girl in us all. This will be one DVD that will be in my daughter's collection for a very long time.

Could this dvd be any cuter?! The little girls in their tutus running to watch the video are adorable. I really like how the various ballet positions are shown by the young girl so that the children viewing the dvd can practice the steps. Please enter me in your delightful drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

My favorite part of ballet is that it allows my daughter to embrace the cutesy girly side of her that she likes to hide most of the time. It allows her to slow down, dress up a bit, and have fun :) Also, it exposes children to classical music, which is fantastic in my book!
I subscribed.
My favorite part is the music....Even if it is on in another room and I hear the music I know what is going on. I find myself humming as it goes along.semtaylor(at)yahoo.com
