My little Princess Ballerina flipped over Prima Princessa, the animated fairy ballerina who magically transported her to see the narrated ballet, Swan Lake. Between each act, my little Princess dances and twirls, along with the young dancers, while learning the official ballet steps, and after each performance she begs for more with her squeals of, “Encore, encore!”
This magical dance adventure would make a wonderful gift for your little ballerina. It’s sure to mesmerize her, as it has mine, while it inspires and stimulates her young mind. It was created by two moms who love to have fun, so even I was thrilled with the ingenious Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake.
Oh, and don’t tell them that I told you this, but even my boys were captivated!

Look, I’m first. Shucks, first never wins. Some moms made it.
OMG, I never knew this existed! I’d looked at some dancing DVD’s for my Princess obsessed 4 year old, but everything had horrible reviews! This would be wonderful.
I learned that two stay at home mothers were upset that they couldn’t find anything for their daughters to learn how to dance at home (much like me), so the created the series to fill the void!
Thanks!
My daughter would love this. How cool is it that a couple of moms made it? I think they will be really successfully with their idea as long as word gets out on it! My daughter loves ballet.
Thanks!
I learned that they decided to make the their own, with no studio, no experience. What a great story, they made their dream come true, very inspirational.
Great giveaway, I have a niece that would love this. Thanks.

they made their own
Stefani spent time as both a ballerina and a cartoonist, leading perfectly into the DVD.
I own one, and it is wonderful! My dd loves it, and so does my youngest boy. I would like to win one for my neice.
The creators are both stay at home moms who came across their product trying to find a good ballet DVD for their girls.
I’d love to win for my 13-month-old. she is a major music junkie and I would put money on a musical career of some sort when she is older.
I am amazed that they spent about a year searching for live performance ballet DVDs that their little kids would really like.
good luck to all
i learned that 2 moves made something happen that they weren’t having luck finding for their little girls! how fun!

I figured it out and I subscribed.
So funny that one of the reasons they made the movie was their daughter kept fast forwarding the slow dance parts!
My 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son would love this!!! They like to practice together already — but this would be even better!!!

Fantastic contest! Thanks for the chance.

After searching for ballet DVDs for kids featuring real ballet, both moms came up short. The suggestion one mom made to the other mom about creating their own DVD, started the process.

I checked out their blog and read a few posts about how much work it was to get this movie made…like how many locations they checked out to film the show in.
The moms, one of who is a dancer, couldn’t find a ballet dvd like they wanted so they made it all by themselves.
How cool that amateur filmmakers did this on their own. It sounds like they worked super hard on it too. Good for them.

labor of love of two moms!!!
I knew newborns slept alot. I didn’t know that it was only if you hold then until I had my first last month.
Made by two moms with no experience in film! What an inspiration!
I learned that the Japanese version is being released in Oct.
This movie looks like something my
2yr old ballerina would love! I like the footage of the boys and men dancing as well-my son always wants to dance with his sister!
And you better believe I’ve already printed out the coloring book!
