Win Prima Princessa For Your Tiny Dancer

Do you have a tiny dancer in your home? I must admit, watching my tutu adorned daughter leap, spin and dance around the living room, brings the biggest smile to my face. Stephanie Troller and Mary Kate Mellow, two moms with no prior filmmaking experience and inspired by their daughters’ love of dancing, created the enjoyable kids DVD, “Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake“.

prima princessa

Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake is a 40-minute DVD for children 2-8, starring an animated fairy ballerina who magically transports a group of little girls to see the Paris Opera Ballet perform select segments of Swan Lake. The show is cleverly abbreviated and narrated to appeal to young children.

Between acts, the children return home to learn simple ballet steps, which are playfully shown mixed into colorful montages of toys, animals, children and young dancers from the School of American Ballet, the official academy of the New York City Ballet. It is ranked the #1 Kids ballet DVD on Amazon.com.

My favorite part of the DVD is the narration during the scenes of Swan Lake. I am not as well versed in the field of humanities as I should be. And up until watching Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake, I had not heard the story of Swan Lake before. The DVD allowed my daughter and I to become immersed in the ballet and also understand the story that was being portrayed.

At the end of each act, my daughter was on her feet practicing various ballet steps like pirouette, jeté and grand battement.

Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake brings world-class ballet into your living room in a format that is educational, culturally enriching and fun.

If you would like a chance to win one of two copies for your tiny dancer, please leave a comment below. We will announce our winners on October 11th. The winning copies can be shipped to both US and Canadian addresses.

Good Luck!

  102. My little princess dances all day long, but doesn’t have the “real” steps. She would think I’m the best mom EVER if I were to win this for her. Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway!

  116. My daughter can spin in circles dancing for a half and hour, no lie. She never seems to get dizzy!? I think this would be just perfect for her, and maybe help channel the spinning into something more refined. Thanks.

  129. What a great concept. Our youngest loves to pretend she is a ballerina. This would be very helpful for her.

    Blessings!!

  145. This would be a sweet little movie for my little great neice who refuses to go anywhere with out her ballerina costume at least in her overnight bag. She is such a sweetie and would love this.

  151. Well, this is timely! My just-turned 3 year old started ballet last week. I don’t remember the positions, or anything about ballet and she wants to practice so I am on the lookout for ballet videos but wasn’t sure they existed. Duh, what DOESN’T exist that can be sold to parents of young children? 🙂 We’d love to win this video.

  161. my kiddos have tutus and have gotten many for friends- they dance and play and have fun- they would love this

  176. My daughter is, like most 4 year olds, obsessed with princesses and she has just started dance class.

    This would be perfect. Here’s hoping for a win, this would make a perfect 5th birthday present for her.

  184. My daughter wants to start ballet but she isn’t potty trained! We are going to use Ballet as a reward when she finally stays dry for the most part of a week.

  204. My youngest just started ballet on Thursday. She already thinks she is a prima ballerina. 🙂 She would love this!!!
