Pretend With Miss Kim

Julia has a favorite new video.

And it’s a favorite of mine too, because instead of her sitting on the couch zoning out in front of a cartoon, she’s enjoying an interactive dance class, “Pretend with Miss Kim,” where she’s engaging her imagination, developing her coordination and burning off energy.

She couldn’t look cuter. Dressed in her oh-so-adorable tutu from Tutu Fantasy, Julia dances about singing “Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please come shine on me.”

pwmk.jpgKim Black, better known as “Miss Kim,” takes children aged 18 months to 5 years old on an imaginary journey through creative movement with music and dance, in her first DVD, “Pretend with Miss Kim.”

Miss Kim has captured children’s hearts for years teaching tap and ballet. She began teaching tap, jazz, and ballet when she was 16 years old and has been teaching ever since. For many years now she has focused solely on younger students:

“My approach to teaching young dancers is through imagination. I love using imagination, creating stories, and watching young children fall in love with learning to dance. My experience as a mother to four wonderful children has helped me understand how to relate to the preschool aged youngsters.”

“Pretend with Miss Kim” is available for $10 from her website: www.MissKimDance.com. To see a short preview of the DVD, click over to her site.

  133. I would love to win & donate it to the Moms Group in my area so some Mom with a girl can enjoy!

  151. I just put together a spring package for my little niece. One of the things I’ve made is little tu-tu for her to play dress up…this CD would be a perfect addition to my spring gift box to her…she is three and absolutely adorable.

  175. this sounds like a lot of fun, especially because we don’t have a real class nearby that my little girl can attend. thanks for the chance to win! -beth

  199. My little one already prances around the house in a tutu at 18 mos. She’d love this! ( meg dot wilson at gmail dot com )

  207. My little girl would have a ball with this one! I hate letting her watch too much TV, but I wouldn’t mind it so much if she was dancing along with it 🙂

  233. Roo would love this. She had to quit her ballet class because the time was rotten for her (too tired from morning preschool, just at nap time) but she absolutely adored doing it. This would be a good way to tide her over until the fall…

  234. Oh yes – burn off that energy so we can sleep good tonight, right sweetie? That would be sooo wonderful. If I win, you can contact me at dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
