 But there are no dancing princessesNov 04, 2007
By Gina P.
"wugrad"
I have a very disappointed 4 year old. She took money to the toy store and was able to pick one item. After much deliberation, this was the clear favorite. Once home, I was sitting behind her while she stood on the mat expectantly and could watch her shoulders sinking. Finally, she turned around and said, "Mommy, when will the princess be on?" Except for a few scattered one and two second snippets, there are no princesses. Hoping that the DVD return policy doesn't apply to this toy.

Fun but not instructionalDec 03, 2007
By A. Robbins
Will your child learn to dance from this DVD: No.
Does Disney know how to milk Princesses for all their worth: Yes.
Should you buy this: Maybe.
As one review here states, don't buy this expecting to see unique animated footage of princesses dancing. There are clips here and there from various Disney movies but the majority of the footage is of an enthusiastic (and stocky!) woman accompanied by a phalanx of cherubic youngsters...dancing.
At first I was disappointed that the movie doesn't even attempt to teach any dance steps. The dance pad that comes with the set is used only in one song and then just barely to demonstrate Ballet's 1st through 3rd position. The wand that comes with the set is sturdy and cool but also doesn't factor into the video much. Still, our 4 year can't watch the video without the pad on the floor and the wand in hand.
So what you're left with is a fun video for the kids to (attempt to) dance along to. The dances are fast but after a few watches our daughter was doing her best to imitate the moves and begging us to dance with her. At least it's something that will get kids off the couch. I would guess that older children might be disappointed with the lack of instruction but younger ones will probably enjoy flailing around while they enjoy the video. In the end you have to admit that no DVD is going to be able to teach very young children to dance anyway.
Also note that the dress on the box does not come with the set.

 Great for Little PrincessesJan 05, 2008
By Mom of two little princesses
"Mom of two little princesses"
I just had to write my own review after reading the other posts. My oldest daughter received this yesterday for her 4th birthday and she and her 2 year old sister just love it. I have to admit, when I first watched it, I thought that it seemed a bit advanced for my children since the dance instructions seem to go a bit fast, but my children didn't complain and I didn't buy it for myself, I bought it for them, so if they like it, that's all that matters to me. If your daughter thinks that this DVD is going to be animated, then this probably isn't for them, becuase there are just some snippets here and there, otherwise its mostly the dance instructor and little girls doing dance moves. But again, my girls didn't complain about this, and that's all that matters to me. And for the person who called the dance instructor "stocky", what are you teaching your children about body image? No wonder even young girls (and women) have such issues with their bodies! I think that she looks like a normal young lady.

 Learn to dance? With Zero Dance Instruction?!!Dec 10, 2007
By Mom of Two
If your little one enjoys watching an adult dance with a few older girls, then she'll likely enjoy this toy. I thought this offered up some instruction first, then do the dance together. That's not the case. Basically the folks on the DVD dance and your kid has to figure it out on her own! The mat is fairly useless if there's no instruction! My 4 year old watched this once, and that was it. What a waste of her birthday money! The manufacturers should feel ashamed to take money from a 4 year old on the pretense of teaching her how to dance "like a princess." How can you learn if noone teaches you? Can you imagine taking your child to a dance studio and your kid has to watch the teacher dance and then figure it out on her own? Buy this product - that's what you'll get.

4 year old loves this!Nov 26, 2007
By happymom
My 4 year old loves this! She follows along with the actions, loves the music, and likes to watch the movie snippets that are integrated. It's nice that the DVD gets them dancing and moving. It shows girls her age dancing as well as the "leader" who is an older girl. Contains the best songs from the Disney princess movies.
