Question:

Which instructional ballet DVD should I buy?

by Guest7940 | earlier

I have a two year old who enjoys looking at ballet. Since there is no available instruction for her where I live, I thought that maybe I would buy her a ballet production on DVD for her to look at. I was wondering if The Video Dictionary of Classical Ballet (1998) would be worth getting or would something like La Bayadere or The sleeping beauty would be better.

Well let me begin with, I hope you know that at her age you should only encourage her to dance around the house and take her to see anything she wants, but classes will be a waste of money. Getting her to a class may have adverse affects at least until she is five or six.
In my opinion, it is probably best to get films of productions. There are lots of good ones out there; check out a company called Kultur. The Royal Ballet's productions usually have very beautiful sets and wardrobe, makes it nice to watch. Little kids always like Nutcracker.
