It is so enjoyable to watch and it\u2019s educational at the\nsame time. It teaches you how to perform different dances, which can be very\nentertaining for active children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sesame Street: Dance Party <\/em>has so much to watch. Every single\nscene is adorable, from Rosita and some friends learning how to do the chicken\ndance to Elmo teaching you the happy dance. And it has all of our most favorite\nand lovable characters such as Elmo, Rosita, Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Mr.\nSnuffleupagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/64_69AE3m6o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This DVD\nteaches your children what a choreographer is and does. Also, the episodes\nteach you different dances and you learn about where they came from. My\nfavorite scene is when Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus try to find their\nfavorite dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout\nthe DVD, there are a bunch of great messages. Some of my favorites are:\nlearning is fun, dance can show different cultures and our voices can do\namazing things. This DVD has no bad language and no bad behavior. There is\nnothing risky or dangerous that kids might try to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give this\nDVD 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 7. Adults will also think\nthat it is cute to watch with their children and can participate in some of the\ndances. It is available August 6, 2019. Look for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sesame Street: Dance Party!<br>\nBy Selene W., KIDS FIRST!\nFilm Critic, Age 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jvkjcjdwo3o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stomp and slide while watching <em>Sesame Street: Dance Party<\/em>!&nbsp;\nWhat could be more fun than clapping your hands, stomping your feet,\ntouching your toes and wiggling and jiggling your way to learning new dance\nmoves with the <em>Sesame Street <\/em>characters\nand their special guests?&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of your favorite characters are included in this party, which starts off with Elmo\u2019s \u201cHappy Dance.\u201d\u00a0 Elmo and friends learn about dances from all around the world with their friend Nina.\u00a0 Nina explains that you can learn to dance by learning one step at a time and to find the dance that\u2019s perfect for you.

Film Critic, age 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oNf3a_YNgG0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This DVD is\neducational and inclusive! All of the storylines enlighten the audience with\nmorals or teach new skills. The puns, irony and jokes are hilarious. Even\nthough I am not in the target age range, I still enjoyed watching this DVD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The different scenes feature the Muppet characters of Sesame Street learning all about dance. They learn different styles of dance from all over the world, how to dance, what a choreographer is and much more. The DVD also teaches the audience the dances and then encourages people to get up and dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sesame Street Muppets are very colorful. Each looks very unique. I love that each one has a different personality. Some of them have best friends and others get along with everyone. The humans are also included in this community and interact with the Muppets. This complexity makes the DVD even more interesting. The set of Sesame Street looks realistic and is so colorful. The characters seem to have access to every part of the shops and buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NYDkV3e10GE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite\npart is when Alan is pressured into being a swan for Zoe\u2019s \u201cSix Swan Dance.\u201d He\nhas to put on a swan costume, which includes a tutu. He also has to carry\nSnuffy, who is a large monster. I think Alan is very inspiring, doing all of\nthese things for Zoe and remaining determined. It is really funny to watch his\nreaction to the seemingly impossible task requested of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the scenes has different messages. All encompass taking dance, one step at a time, asking for help from the choreographer when needed and encouraging everyone to dance. Nina is the main teacher in this DVD and she is quite knowledgeable about all types of dances from all over the world.\u00a0 She helps the Muppets find their personal dance style and prevents them from becoming overwhelmed when trying to learn the dances.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This DVD is so adorable.\nIt would be a great introduction to dance for children. I give it 4 out of 5\nstars and recommend it for ages of 2 to 6. This is releases August 6, 2019, so\ngo check it out! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone loves to dance&#8211;from furry little monsters to furry BIG Snuffleupaguses.
