PRIMA PRINCESSA
Jacq and I got our tutus on for a morning of dancing fun with Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcracker DVD. It will be released September 7, 2010, but we were lucky enough to get a little preview.
The DVD features the best companies around the world performing the classic Christmas ballet “The Nutcracker” live at the theater. It is filled with snow fairies, waltzing flowers, and (our favorite) toy soldiers.
The first time through, the dancing queen was satisfied watching the performance with her little ponies.
And then she was ready to get up and try the moves demonstrated by students from the NYC School of American ballet as well as little dancers her age.
You can find out where to purchase this DVD or the Prima Princessa Swan Lake DVD for your own little dancer (as well as enjoy coloring pages and fun childrens games) atPrimaPrincessa.com.
New Age Mama reviews Prima Princessa Nutcracker
Thanks New Age Mama for the fabulous review! We agree wholeheartedly with your statement: "Well, Prima Princessa has come up with a way to encourage children to learn more about this amazing art form in a way that is exciting and interesting."
THE REVIEW
"Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcrakcer" DVD Review
I am a fan of all the arts, and I try to encourage my kids to appreciate beauty in all its wonderful forms. Ballet is like poetry in motion, and I could sit for hours watching the dancers bring to life their characters with their fluid movements. The Nutcracker has always been one of my favorite ballets. But for kids, sitting still for that long is not easy, especially when there are no words for them to listen to that helps them follow along with the story. Well, Prima Princessa has come up with a way to encourage children to learn more about this amazing art form in a way that is exciting and interesting.
The "Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcracker" DVD is a full length film that tells you the story of Clara and her many adventures. But with a few added bonuses. They show lots of scenes from the real ballet, but explain what is happening to make it easy for little ones to follow along. And in between scenes, they show your little ballerina how to do some of the dance steps themselves, which really makes them feel like they are a part of it. Through the whole DVD, you are guided by their fairy ballerina who makes sure the whole experience is lots of fun.
The DVD is available for only $6.99. It makes a great holiday gift for girls that your whole family will enjoy watching it together. Check out their website to learn more about all the ballerina DVDs they have available. While you're there, your kids can download free coloring pages and play games online. The movie is available to order through Amazon. Check them out today and put a smile on your little dancer's face.

“Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcracker” – Children’s Holiday DVD

Filed under Family, Tech1 Comment
The Prima Princessa series is a DVD collection of ballet stories just for kids. The series was inspired by 2 blogging mom-entrepreneurs from NJ, that have daughter who love dance.
As a lot of parents know taking young children to a full ballet show can be a rough experience. They just do not usually have the attention span to sit there through the entire show. And for how expensive some shows can be, as a parent, you don’t want to throw your money away by leaving early.
So the Prima Princessa series is a way kids ages 3-6 can be exposed to dance and classical music at home through interactive fun!
So far there are 3 shows in this series, which are, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker (being released 9/7/2010) , and coming in January 2011 will be Sleeping beauty.
The DVD of the Nutcracker is a 60 minute Christmas show which features England’s World famous Birmingham Royal Ballet.
When I brought this DVD home from Blogher they couldn’t wait to watch it. They loved it so much, they dressed up in their fairy costumes and danced along with the DVD.
You can learn more about The Prima Princessa DVD series and get info. on more to come by visitingwww.primaprincessa.com

*Disclosure- I received a copy of the DVD while attending Blogher 2010 in NYC.

Prima Princessa: Ballet for Beginners Book
We love dancing, especially dancing ballet in our home. My four year old looks forward to Saturday mornings where she can Passé, Plié, and Chassé like Prima Princessa. We have reviewed Prima's DVD's and love them and now they even have a book out. This book is perfect for any beginning dancer. The Prima Princessa’s Ballet for Beginners is a hard cover 80 page book full of clear and large photos depicting each move. The dancers are all from The School of American Ballet. My daughter loved to replicate the dance moves after I read them to her. Her favorite part was searching for Prima Princessa (the cartoon character) on each page and checking to see what color tutu she was wearing!
You can learn more about ballet and Prima Princessa here:www.PrimaPrincessa.com. You can buy this beautiful book for only $11.53 on Amazon.com or at Barnes and Noble.

The Intellectual Ballerina
A few little girls were granted the chance to review the beautiful new hardcover book fromPrima Princessa. Here’s what they had to say:
Kamryn (7) says: “I really like this book. It is easy to understand because there are really nice pictures, and I can read lots of the words too. I like to copy the pictures in front of the mirror in my bedroom. I like the hard cover too, so my sister probably won’t wreck it.”
Emelia (3) says, with the help of her mom: “I love my ballet class and I love everything pink. This book is great for any girl who loves ballet, from toddlers right on up to pre-teens. It’s an easy read for mom, too, so I can help her learn more which makes her class easier for her.”
Ashley (10) says: “Even though I’m kind of over pink, I still love ballet and this book is a great review for anyone who’s taken a few years of classes already. It has some definitions in it that I didn’t know before so that was neat. I think every beginning dancer should get a book like this before they start ballet!
Maren (4) says: “I love love love my new ballet book! I have both of the Prima Princessa DVD’s and have loved them forever, so I was really excited to get this book. The pictures are really nice and easy to copy, even if you can’t read the text without help.”
Buy it for under $11 at Amazon.
