Dance Along Bundle

 

The Music Box - A Dance Along Fairytale is one of its kind, not only is it an interactive dance DVD, but it also has a fairy tale twist where kids are interactively introduced to several ways of dance: Ballet, Jazz Dance, Hip Hop, Step Dance and more!

Story: Erika (14) and her brother Daniel (11) are on a camping trip with 5 of Daniels friends. Daniel finds an old family music box, it has beautiful dancers painted all around it. Erika recalls a story about its magical powers. The box was once given as a gift to a prince who then mysteriously disappeared never to be seen again. Daniel doesn't believe the story and says the music box is just old and broken. He rips it from Erika's hands and tries to turn the handle, but it wont budge. Daniel then starts to shake the box, all of a sudden the box starts shaking by itself! Daniel drops it to the floor and it opens with a boom. The children are all enveloped in a bright light and quickly they all get sucked into the music box.

  • a tap dancing Clown (tap),
  • a cuddly bear, Teddy B (rhythmic dance),
  • a dancing Gold Bird (port de bras),
  • a jazzy Cat (jazz),
  • an acrobatic Pirate (Hip Hop),
  • a beautiful Ballerina (Ballet),Erika
  • an exotic Asian Princess (asian dance.)

 

Once inside, they also "meet" the lost Prince, who is still stuck somewhere in the box. They cannot see him, only hear his voice. In order to get back home, they have to follow his instructions and learn each music box characters particular dance. Tap dance with the clown, Hip Hop with the pirate, do ballet with the ballerina, etc.

Will they ever be freed? Dance along and find out!
