Pop in this DVD and give your kids a low-key but surprisingly sophisticated introduction to the joy of dance. An animated ballerina introduces a small crowd of tutu-clad girls to Swan Lake, performed by the Paris Opera Ballet. She narrates the story for the group (and your child) in short, easy-to-understand segments, with demos of basic moves sprinkled in. Playfully accented with animals and nature scenes, the story will charm girls and boys alike.
