Get Up and Dance!
I'm all for TV viewing only when it gets kids moving (and thinking)! This DVD will certainly get your preschooler dancing as they join Zoe in learning about different kinds of dances and in choreographing dance moves with Paula Abdul. Together they explore ballet, African and Asian dance, hip-hop, tap, and "silly willy nilly", Zoe's personal dance style. Overall, the program is quite entertaining and my daughter enjoyed watching the various dancers exhibiting their talents within their respective genres as well as dancing along with Zoe and Paula in the studio. The moves are pretty challenging though- most young children will not be able to copy the dances step by step (but will get a lot of exercize trying!) This is also the most multicultural of the many Sesame Street productions I have viewed. My only gripe is that one of Paula's dance moves is a little bit too provocative for children to emulate and at one point she lets out a questionable sounding grunt which is quite standard in modern music and dance but not something you want to hear from your three year old, if you know what I mean! All in all, this is a fun production for aspiring little dancers and is definitely NOT going to promote couch potato-like behavior in your little one.

Inspiring dance!
I highly recommend this is purchased for any little one who shows an interest in dance. We bought this DVD for our daughter when she turned 2; now almost three she has amazed us by the way she uses the dances Paula and Zoe demonstrate; particularly ballet. At her nursery they are convinvced she goes to dance classes as she performs what she's learnt so beautifully! It's all done in simple gradient steps and shows a good variety of types of dance as well as ethnic dance - well worth the import to Brighton, England.

Fun for all ages
I recently bought Zoe's Dance Moves for my niece's 3rd birthday. She LOVES it. The different dances keep her attention and up and moving the whole time. The nice surprize is that my 7 year old niece who thinks she is too old for Sesame Street is mesmerized by it too. She dance right along with Paula and Zoe. It nice to have a DVD they can both agree on and are up dancing to vs. sitting and watching. And as always with Sesame Street the multi-ethnicity is great.
