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.
