My Dear Readers,
Today I have a fun giveaway for you! Want to hear about it? Of course you do!
When my friend Liz Vacco told me that she was making a DVD for kids ages 2-5 years old called Petite Feet I was so excited! I wanted to throw my support behind her 100%. I think this blog is the best way I can do it and I am really excited to share her DVD with you. I just finished watching the DVD and it’s fantastic. It’s funny, fun, age appropriate and educational. It incorporates ballet terminology but also allows the children to use their imaginations! You have to check it out.
Here is the description of the video:
Petite Feet uses engaging and imaginative exercises, games and stories to introduce children to basic ballet positions and vocabulary, as well as general dance and musical concepts. Focusing on the creative potential of dance and its storytelling possibilities, Petite Feet encourages children between the ages of 2-5 to learn fundamental and age-appropriate ballet steps, to build confidence and coordination, and, of course, to have fun! Featuring original music and a colorful set, along with the Story of the Dancing Dolls and some help from Waldo the Walrus, Petite Feet is a great way for kids to stay active on a rainy day—and a sunny one too!
Have a young son or daughter at home who loves to dance? They will love this! If I won this giveaway I would raffle it off at my studio to a lucky young dancer! Or play it in the lobby. Or maybe even at a birthday party. I love it because you can stretch and dance right along with Liz and her helpers. It’s perfect for summer mornings.
Here’s how to enter: Please visit Petite Feet to watch a short clip of the DVD and read more about it then leave a comment below, only one entry per person please. (Remember to fill in your e-mail when leaving the comment so I can contact you later if you win.) A winner will be chosen at random next Thursday June, 16, 2011. Good Luck! xo
Update: Becca is the winner! Thanks for entering and for reading! 🙂

Watched the Petite Feet video. It looks so cute! Thanks so much for sharing!
Petite Feet is wonderful for learning about ballet! As a teacher myself, I would love to use the different dances, songs and stories during a class! I would highly recommend this to all my students to use at home! 🙂
I already bought a copy for my 4 yr old and we love it! And it’s the perfect gift for all the ballet birthday parties we have been invited to lately!
My 4 year old would love this, I loved the way the girls looked just like the girls in my classes–the way weren’t all dressed alike, and you could tell they were having fun too!
i’m always looking for new songs to sing to my pre-ballet ladies! this looks great. 🙂
You can tell by my e-mail that little dancers are my life. I am always looking for something new and entertaining for my classes. Maria you have never steered me wrong and you are so right about this video!! I love it and love the concept, I say ENCORE!
Hi, Maria and Liz. I loved the clip of this video. It reminds me a bit of Barney, but with a ballet twist. It would be great as a kids show on tv! My youngest daughter has been saying lately that she wants to take ballet, and I think this would be a perfect introduction! Thanks for hosting the giveaway 🙂
What an engaging way to teach little ones the basics of ballet!
How cute, my 3 year old loved the preview. She insisted on putting on her ballet shoes and danced around the room.
