From the Back Cover
Welcome to Christy Curtis's dance classes for kids. Learn along with these other students in the video lessons for tap, jazz, and ballet. Each segment is helpfully repetitive and, unlike a real class, there's always the replay button! Perfect for parents trying to gauge their youngster's interest in dance before making an investment in classes or to those who want to share the joy of dancing. 102 minutes.

Jazz: Perfect for boys and girls! The girls wear traditional leotards, but the baggy clothes that the boys wear have turned this video into a "hip hop" learning experience for all ages too! Miss Christy teaches the basic steps, a few at a time, slowly at first and progressively speeding it up for more of a challenge. In not time, your children will be DANCIN! Tap: At any age, learning to tap dance is lots of fun and great exercise, but for children ages 6 and up, it is also a wonderful way to develop coordination and balance, rhythm, speed, and to develop or improve timing, strength, and agility. Tap is the all-American form of musical theatre expression. Ballet: This program is structured just like a formal ballet class, featuring exercises at the barre, port-de-bras, center, and traveling moves. Whether learning, practicing, or just for plain fun, this is a program your future ballerina will watch over and over again because Christy makes ballet fun and easy!

Customer Reviews

Fun for kids, not really that instructional
This video has 3 different sections, jazz, tap, and ballet. It doesn't really show you exactly how to do too many of the steps or positions, it gives kids an idea of what goes on in a children's dance class. I think it also, unfortunately, gives the impression that you go to a class or two and then you can do the combination at the end of the sections. My Kindergarten-aged daughter does, however, like to try some of the moves (especially ballet) along with the dvd. For anyone looking for detailed instruction, this isn't it. But, for fun and maybe some introduction to dance, it is fine.

Simply Great!
I enjoyed dancing on the DVD with my daughter - she is 4.
We had great time. I'll by all of the Miss Christy's training DVDs. Very talented and nicely done.
