Summary: People who gave thumbs down missed the point.....
Review: .... If you have a motivated child who LOVES music and dancing this is perfect. Big Bird's teddy bear (Radar) is having a birthday party and YOU are invited. That's why the dance teacher keeps looking at the camera. To make your child a part of the party!!! ....

My daughter is 16 months and knows all the steps and songs. The first song is instructional, where you touch your toes, turn around, pull on your ears etc. After dancing with her, my daughter knows all her body parts!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Addictive
Review: All I can say is Addictive. My boys love this DVD from the first song to the last including the outro with Elmo doing the Alphabet rap. They are about to turn two (twins) and they love "Dance" as they call it. They've loved it from as early as 15 months.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: I agree with others that the dance teacher is annoying, but my daughter loves this video. This video really has taught her how to follow directions. She does the dances along with the kids on the show and has fun. She asks for it almost every day. I actually bought it for the "Animal Birthday" song because I love Kingston Livingston the 3rd, but the rest of the video is fun. Especially the last song. Whenever she starts to get cranky, we can sometimes avoid a tantrum by singing the "I'm a Little Airplane" song and she will start being an airplane instead! Whatever works!

Summary: good mood
Review: I got this video for my 21 month old son, who absolutely loves it, he dances around , jumps up and down has a great time. I also like to use it when he wakes up cranky from his nap, always works!

Summary: Great Entertainment for Toddlers!
Review: I just bought this dvd from Amazon a few weeks ago and it has instantly become my 3 year old daughter's favorite. She keeps asking for the "Dance Party." She is in a dance class and dances around the house all the time playing dress up and loves to imitate so it was perfect for her. She can't sit still during the show. The first song is the best and really gets her going - from imitating the dance teacher clapping hands, stomping feet, touching her toes, turning around - all simple movements for a toddler. Many of the remaining songs are acting out an animal or object like acting like an airplane or dog or jelly. She runs around the room with her arms out to the airplane song. The only song I really don't like (although she does) is the Grouch song where they shake their fists, gnash their teeth, stomp their feet and turn their backs like a grouch. Overall, its a great dvd though - its more like watching a dance teacher in a preschool class than watching tv. There is even a bonus Elmo alphabet song at the end.

Summary: lazy sesame
Review: I really don't know how to start - being a sesame street fan and all,but the truth must be told- they are lazy. when i bought the tape I was looking for a kids video with songs that will be fun for my 2 and 5 year old daughters to watch, but also a video that will get them moving and dancing and learning dances (like the hokie-pokie and stuff). I am sorry to say that the only dance that was worth anything was the first one where they actually interact with the kids and tell them what move to do - which my 2 yr. old daughter found lots of fun - but after that it was all down hill. They play a song about airplanes and tell the kids to run around like air planes. thats it. I can do that too and could probably think of other moves. the rest of the tape follow suit. I think they were just plane lazy. All they have to do is put a picture of big bird and elmo and relay on us succer parent to buy it and to accept the insult to our childrens abilities. I should have just bought another music cd for kids and let it run in the backround while I make up moves. In short - I dought I will ever buy another "dance and activity" video from them unless i see it first at a friend and sesame street shows us that they are actually worth more than they have demenstrated.

Summary: This DVD made my son forget about Baby Einstein
Review: My 19 month old daughter LOVES this video. After racking up enough in late fees to buy the thing, we got it on DVD. The songs are all very catchy (and those of us who love unsung rock and roll heroes appreciate the inclusion of Jonathan Richman's I'm a Little Airplane), the dances are simple enough, and you'll find yourself humming along.

There is one big problem with the tape. Celina, the dance instructor, may have the most grating speaking voice ever recorded. The conceit of Celina needing rest gets a bit old after awhile, and her acting (as well as that of Big Bird) suggest that this was probably a very quick shoot done to make a quick buck.

Another problem you may have is that the Sesame Street puppets are only scene minimally. My daughter doesn't mind, but others might. THis was definitely worth every penny we paid for it just to hear her sing her first song, "The Birthday Song." She sings along every time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Those songs have a way of getting in your head!

Summary: Cute but not worth the money
Review: My 19 month old son loves Barney and sits through full hours of Barney. I don't think I got more than 5 minutes from this tape. I wasn't even entertained. I lost interest myself and I'm an adult. It was cute and had it's moments but I wouldn't say it was worth the full price.
