Prima Princessa Review and Giveaway

Regan is the ballerina in our family. In fact it is one of her favorite things to do in life. Every Monday she has her own private dance class where she can work on her skills, and use her walker as her barre. Last year her performance was so touching there was not a dry eye in the house at the dance recital. Knowing how much dance means to my daughter I was thrilled to receive a copy of Prima Princessa to review. Oh by the way isn't she cute in her recital costume?

Prima Princessa was viewed by both of my daughter's and my five year old niece. We spent an evening watching and dancing to Swan Lake, and learning some basic moves. Even if you do not know a pirouette from a grand jete you will enjoy watching this DVD with any of your tiny dancers. This show includes:

It is a 40 minute DVD for anyone aspiring to be a ballerina or princess and stars a cartoon fairy ballerina princess named Prima Princessa who takes an adorable group of pre-school girls on a magic journey to see a live performance of Swan Lake, performed by the world famous Paris Opera Ballet, complete with kid-friendly narration by Prima Princessa. Between acts they come home and in a fun montage of animals, kids, and young dancers from the New York City Ballet's SAB they learn basic ballet steps. Our DVD gets kids up and dancing and twirling in their livingrooms!

Prima Princessa DVD Review and Giveaway

We have always said that my daughter would be a dancer. She is super flexible and when she would sit, she would point her toes, with her legs out to the side. Or she would stand on her tip toes. It's in her blood, what can I say?

I received the Prima Princessa DVD from the company to do a review, and I thought it was perfect for my daughter. I remember a few months ago I did a basic pirouette and my daughter just laughed and laughed. I don't know why she thought it was so funny, but she liked it. I figured she would like this video too.

We have pulled it out a few times, and she kind of watches it, but not really. She doesn't watch many DVD's however, so I think it's just a little old for her. (She's almost 2) She does like spinning and jumping with the little kids on the movie, however. In fact, I got a video of her doing it.



We had to pull out her pretty princess dress so she could look as pretty as the ballerinas. She had so much fun spinning and jumping around the room.

So what exactly is this DVD?

It is a 40 minute DVD for anyone aspring to be a ballerina or princess and stars a cartoon fairy ballerina princess named Prima Princessa who takes an adorable group of pre-school girls on a magic journey to see a live performance of Swan Lake, performed by the world famous Paris Opera Ballet, complete with kid-friendly narration by Prima Princessa. Between acts they come home and in a fun montage of animals, kids, and young dancers from the New York City Ballet's SAB they learn basic ballet steps. Our DVD gets kids up and dancing and twirling in their livingrooms!

I love how they incorporate a real ballet, but they explain everything that is going on, so kids can understand the story. It's also fun to see other kids actually demonstrating real ballet steps that your kids can immitate at home. I bet my daughter will really like this in a few years when she's a little older and appreciates the pretty ballerinas. For now we'll just continue dancing and spinning around the room.

Prima Princessa Review and Giveaway

Prima Princessa is a hip new twist on learning about ballet, featuring the Paris Opera Ballet and Students from School of American Ballet at Lincoln Center, Official Academy of New York City Ballet. Our 40 minute DVD is a cool, fun, beautiful show with a brain. Prima Princessa, an animated fairy ballerina, magically transports a group of little girls to see the Paris Opera Ballet perform select segments of Swan Lake. In between acts, the children return home to learn simple ballet steps which are playfully shown mixed into colorful montages of toys, animals, children and young dancers from the School of American Ballet.

 My girls love to dance and when I put this DVD in for them to watch they were glued. I was surprised. I wondered how a movie of girls dancing would keep them interested. To my amazement my 4yo is the one who wanted to watch it over and over again. See loved watching the little girls dance and twirl and loved to listen to the music. This DVD was very well done. I was very impressed.

Stephanie and Mary Kate have a wonderful new ballet DVD, The Nutcracker, due out around Christmas.

 You can buy a copy of Prima Princessa  at Amazon.com HERE!

Prima Princessa

What little girl doesn't dream of becoming a ballerina? I know I always used to have fun dressing up in tutus and twirling around the room.

Prima Princessa is a DVD that shows real life ballet, along with demonstrations of some basic steps by kids. They then encourage the viewers to get up and try those steps too. It gets them off the couch and dancing around the room.

My daughter had a lot of fun spinning and jumping around the room. If you want to check out the video of her doing this, or if you want to win a copy of the DVD for your family, come on over to Sweet 'n' Sassy Girls!

Prima Princessa Review & Giveaway

When moms Stephanie Troeller and Mary Kate Mellow ventured on a quest to find a kid-friendly ballet DVD. They had no idea that their venture would lead them to create their own. A year later Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake was brought to life.

Prima Princessa features the Pairs Opera Ballet performing Swan Lake. The story is helpfully narrated by Prima Princessa, who happens to be an adorable cartoon ballerina. And between acts, live action demos of ballet steps, demonstrated by kids from the New York City Ballet's School of American Ballet, take place along with equally adorable pre-schoolers who dance around dressed up in tutus.


While Princess P is still a little young to set and watch an entire DVD. She actually enjoys bits and pieces of Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake. She loved to watch the little girls twirling on the TV screen. And even at one point, she crawled to the screen and tried to touch them. She smiled when the music drastically changed and was intrigued by the demonstrations. I can't wait until she gets old enough to sit through the whole thing and join in. Until then, I will just have to watch it for her and enjoy the ballet myself. (Which totally makes me want to go to the ballet!)

Stephanie and Mary Kate are hard at work planning new DVD's for the Prima Princessa Presents Collection based on classical ballets. The pair may even explore other types of dance.
"As moms we feel strongly about creating programming which is not only entertaining but also culturally enriching,”says Mellow.

Prima Princessa Ballet DVD: Review & Giveaway CLOSED

 Do you have a little ballerina in your house? Are tutus & pliés part of your daily routine? Then you will love Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake! Created by 2 stay at home moms, this video is targeted toward budding young ballerinas. The 4o minute DVD features a fun cartoon ballerina named Princess Princessa. Princess Princessa guides viewers through a performance of Swan Lake, which is performed by the world famous Paris Opera ballet. Dori started go get restless after a few minutes of the ballet, but her attention was renewed with the intermission. Between acts of the ballet, the video cuts to tutu-clad preschoolers dancing about outside. She was mesmerized and wanted to get up and dance around herself. I liked how it got her out of the chair and dancing around. They also teach about the basics of ballet. Dori isn't ready to learn the positions yet, but she did enjoy dancing around. I think I need to get her a pretty pink tutu so she can pretend she's in the video. So the younger ones can enjoy the dancing and Princess Princessa flitting around and the older kids can learn about the story of Swan Lake. I would say this is ideal for 3-8 years, although some older or younger might enjoy it. Princess Princessa presents Swan Lake can be purchased at Amazon.com.

Prima Princessa DVD: Contest

As a godmother to two little girls, I definitely keep an eye out for items they would LOVE. And the DVD Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake is a wonderful example. I watched it with my boys first and was amazed as they danced along with the girls on tv. But that's what the DVD wants you to do! Appreciate and enjoy dancing, ballet specifically. But although I watched it first with the boys, judging from their reaction it's going to be a huge hit with my niece/goddaughter!

You see, the DVD mixes professional ballet performed by the Paris Opera Ballet with young dancers from the School of American Ballet, along with preschool girls dancing and dressing up in fun tutus!

The idea behind the DVD is that a fairy cartoon princess, Prima Princessa, brings the Paris Opera Ballet to life before their eyes. They are performing Swan Lake and Prima Princessa explains the story to the girls, which I found super helpful! Then they would break to the School of American Ballet students showing examples of different dance moves. Then the little preschoolers would do their own versions of the dance move. Not perfect - but a lot of fun. The DVD also draws in imagery of swans, toys and more that help illustrate the story and dance.

When I popped in the 40-minute DVD, at my 2 year old's request, I never imagined that he and his brother would be twirling in circles like the dancers. So imagine how excited a little preschool girl, complete with tutu, would be to watch the performances, fairy and other little girls her age!

It's no wonder Prima Princessa is ranked #1 for Children's Ballet DVDs on Amazon.com!

Grasping for Objectivity in my Subjective Life

We are very excited about this new review  on April 9, 2009 from Grasping for Objectivity in my Subjective Life!

-Prima Princessa Productions- ballet DVDs for kids

Check it out:

A Giveaway for Little Girls: A Ballet DVD!!

The Prima Princessa DVD is a dream come true for little girls!!

Dancing. . . dressing up. . .music. . .pretty princesses. . .and a cartoon ballerina bringing it all together!!

Ali and I reviewed this DVD today, and she LOVED it - she excitedly told me over and over, "They're Dancing, Mommy!!! They're holding hands, Mommy!!".

Although I knew she would like it, I had low expectations of being entertained myself, as we all know that children's DVD's can sometimes be. . . what's a nice word. . .inane.

However, it was quite interesting - they did a great job of being entertaining to kids without being silly. It had real clips of a "Swan Lake" performance by the Paris Opera Ballet, and they explained the storyline throughout. The performance is interspersed among clips of children taking ballet lessons and little girls having fun in tutus. It is really great, and a complete hit for little girls who love ballet, princesses, dressing up, or music!

I have a copy to give away - all you need to do to enter is comment on this post. You can have a second entry if you are a follower OR a subscriber, and a third entry if you are a Twitter follower - be sure and leave the entries as separate comments!

This contest will be open until April 20th, and the winner will be announced on April 21st. Please be sure to leave an email address to contact you if I don't have it!

Ali ADORES her copy, and I'm sure your little girl would love one as well!! Good luck!
