VHS Movie Reviews of How to Be a Ballerina [VHS]
Movie Review: How to be a Ballerina
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very dissapointed with the quality of the VHS that I ordered from Amazon.ca. Children cannot learn anything from this tape. The presentation is very poor. As soon as I watched it I was ready to send it back. Unfortunately, Amazon.ca does not accept opened VHS tapes. They accept damaged and unopened items. But what about the products that do not satisfy customers. Because you don't know what you bought, until you open and actually see it. I would not recommend this tape. I ordered two tapes. The other one, "Discover Bellydance" (Basic Dance) by Veena and Neena, is an excellent and colourful performace, easy to follow for both children and grown-ups. I would give 5+ stars to this tape.
Movie Review: Boring....and WHAT is she saying???
Summary: 2 Stars
I am (very) surprised at the number of positive reviews this vido has recieved. My 6 yr old is in beginner ballet and loves it. But this tape couldn't hold her attention for more than 5 minutes! The dance instructor has such a heavy accent, it's near impossible to understand her. What WAS understood wasn't spoken loud enough, my tv was at top volume. She is not upbeat at all and acts like she wasn't paid enought to make this video. Her attitude and tone of voice is all the same- dull. I am annoyed at amazon for recommending this. I will be dropping it off in the nearest goodwill box.Movie Review: ballet teacher at home.
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this video. My little 2y old daughter runs on her pink tutu to say "hello teacher" every time it starts. She knows the steps and loves to perform the final presentation. The teacher has a sweet voice and repeats the movements several times for the littles to learn.Movie Review: Too much fun to miss...
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing so many choices of ballet teaching videos on Amazon, I consulted my local library and was able to borrow this one. We found it charming and fun (our daughter takes a weekly hour long 5-6 yr old ballet/jazz combo class although ballet is her favorite). The instructor is pleasant and clearly describes the moves as she is doing them with the "class". I must note here that I have already purchased the "Learn Nutcracker Dances with Me" and although it's nice, it seemed more like a home movie done by someone who likes to ham it up with filming effects. This video (How to Be...) is very easy to follow and, while it is NOT a source for basic technique learning, it does a wonderful job at giving children some fun ballet skits to put together from rehersal to performance. We also enjoyed the final performance at the end. If in doubt about this choice- call your local library and try it for free. I plan to purchase this one and the Royal Ballet's Sleeping Beauty DVD for our collection.Movie Review: Cute Cover, That is it!
Summary: 2 Stars
I was amazed at the other reveiws giving this video such good marks. My four year old watched it twice. She had attended a dance class proir to a move and loved the circle work, foot work and stuff for preschool age. This was no where near what I thought it would be. I would not waste my money. I would love a refferal for a good one! As my daughter loves to dance.
Summary of How to Be a Ballerina [VHS]
How to Be a Ballerina helps budding ballerinas combine basic dance steps with graceful movement to create five simple yet effective solo dances for the ballet Sleeping Beauty. Following several brief warm-up exercises, ballet instructor Debra Bradnum and several young students demonstrate simple dances for "Enchanted Garden," "Woodland Glade Fairy," "Songbird Fairy," "Lilac Fairy," and "Carabosse--the Wicked Fairy." By combining dance steps like pli?, spring point, walking, running, and chase? with graceful arm movements and elements of mime, Bradnum creates solo dances appropriate for both novices and more proficient ballet students. Each dance is carefully demonstrated, then presented at speed with piano accompaniment. The program culminates with a fully staged and costumed performance featuring student soloists in each of the five aforementioned dances. Intended as an aid to imaginative play and crafted to be safe for untrained children, this 45-minute video is informative and practicable. (Ages 3 to 8) --Tami HoriuchiMiscellaneous Music CDs
