“I have two divas within my household which are definitely princesses in their own right. They love to dance their own dance style, so I was thinking that they would enjoy this, but I was amazed as they started to watch how much they were engaged in the film.

Both of my girls had their eyes glued to the television and as they watched they loved trying out the dances that they were being taught. As an educator myself, I loved seeing the educational components within the film. This education was a true creative arts gem. It provided the opportunity for kids to not only learn about dance, but also about music and themselves.

By the end of the DVD my eldest daughter was telling me the story of Swan Lake as if she had seen it many times. So kudos to the moms who developed this DVD! Parents with kids who like to be creative and/or music and dance will love this DVD. I truly encourage all of you to check it out today!”

-Amazon.com Reviewer – C. Lewis “Dad of Divas” Michigan (add in the amazon 5 star graphic)

“I found the concept for the Prima Princessa Presents one quite fascinating in terms of the way it brings together what are classically opposed perspectives of high art and child development. I’m guessing that the ideal context for screening this program is a room (or outdoor place) where the audience can jump up easily during the passages where the children on the screen jump up, and where (this idea is ingenious) you work patiently to reinforce the link between a word from the classical lexicon–such as “pirouette”–with the action, not only as demonstrated by the SAB students but also as the audience member attempts to do it, too. The animated Prima Princessa is a truly contemporary prima, streamlined and no-nonsense yet also child-friendly and on the qui vive. The mystery of ballet, the high art part, seems to be very deep in the background, in favor of the fun of it, the high spirits, the tulle, the links to animation princess brands from Disney and elsewhere. It may, in fact, be that, even among adult audiences, the mystery that was so deeply ensconced in the core of ballet’s identity (as well as in historic Disney animated films, such as “Snow White” and “Pinocchio”) will never again have the significance that it did for a century; world culture does not support it. What you have done, it seems to me, is to recognize the new cultural order, to call on the very best available in every medium in which you work, and to focus your efforts winningly and quite charmingly on the intended audience. As a mom (my own daughter, now 24, teaches third grade), I smile broadly.
