This video serves as an introduction to basic dance. The moves shown are meant to be simple and fun. The cast consists of Miss Christy (Christine Curtis, choreographer and children's dance specialist), Tapper the scarecrow, and a variety of young boys and girls. Miss Christy and the group use the settings of a beach, a lily pond, and a farm to teach three different styles of dance: jazz, ballet, and tap. Dance is a great way to introduce children to music and rhythm, and to stimulate their motor skills. This video has a lot to offer in these areas; however, sometimes when Miss Christy is showing steps, her feet are blocked from view. This is a video for the child who has not yet taken any dance--its approach is very basic. Kids at home are encouraged to join in and participate in engaging and imaginative ways. The tap and jazz section includes boys, while the ballet portion is geared just to girls. Adults might find the music somewhat uninspired, but the kids seem to like it. (Ages 2 to 6) --Peggy Maltby-Etra Children love to dance, and for those 2 to 6 years old, there s no better time to introduce them to basic dance moves to help them develop natural rhythm, motor skills and musicality, in addition to an active imagination.

Watch your child s natural rhythm and self expression come to life over and over again with this entertaining and unique video program.
