 Red Shoes February 10, 2010
Grandma Pearl (SanFrancisco, CA)
This dance video is a favorite of my four year old Grandson. He will dance to it and watch it and dance to it in sheer happiness over and over again. It got damaged and I'm able to order it so that his sweet autistic self will beam his wonderful beam for me again.
 Entertaining- not Instructional February 28, 2009
Ariane Newell (Orem, UT USA)
Mixed feelings here. My granddaughter, aged 3, loved it, especially the muppets, the African section, Zoe's crazy dancing section, all of the ethnic dancing. We had to scurry around for all the props that the video kids were using. She watched it over and over trying to copy everything. However, most of her time was spent standing around glued to the screen. This is look at me, copy me pseudo dance instruction. However, some of the moves are downright dangerous for young children to try and copy. Changements, are you kidding me? (not even for 8 year olds from a video) Not unless you want severe knee and ankle problems. "Copy me" instruction has severe limitations. For young children problem solving emphasizing shapes, levels, directions, rhythm, and energy qualities lay a more substantial educational groundwork for dance appreciation. And creative dance problem solving is infinitely better suited to the charms of the Muppets!
nice video August 17, 2008

Bought this for my two year old after she loved watching the preview for it on another Elmo video. She seems to like it, includes footage on other cultural dances, mostly includes only Zoe, Elmo 'forgets his dance shoes' and doesn't return until the end.
My granddaughter loves it! February 10, 2008
Diana K. Heath (Oklahoma City, OK)
My granddaughter is three years old, and she almost has this video memorized. She loves to dress like Zoe and Paula (with clip-on earrings and all). I think this would be a great video for even smaller children, because they love Elmo and Zoe so much.
It's just amazing to see how many of the dance moves a just-turned-three-year-old can follow!
Has some good points September 24, 2007

This is a mixed bag; Paula Abdul is a lovely dancer, and is good at talking to the puppet rather than sneaking looks at the puppeteer (a common problem with celebrities talking with muppets.)
She is, however, no expert on child development, and choreographed moves way out of the preschooler range of motor skills. Heck, no dance teacher worthy of the name would give steps that complicated even to adults with no dance experience! (She is listed on the credits as one of the choreographers, not just a performer.)
As other reviewers have noted, the hip roll/grind is not something you want your 3 year old to master. The producers tried to get around its inappropriateness by calling it Zoe's Hip roll, and having Paula grunt, "This is for YOU, Zoe!" when demonstrating it. Really icky. (I do have to wonder if any of the advisors noted that perps of child abuse commonly tell the kids that what they are doing is their special little secret.)
Kids with enough motor skills to really get the dance steps don't want to watch Zoe anymore, so I don't much worry that my little girl will "get" it. And it will get the younger kids moving, even though they won't master the steps. Additionally, the clips of dances from other cultures are quite good, although grouping all "Asian" and "African" dances together seems a bit odd. Why not call it by a more specific cultural name? Or call ballet "European" just to be fair?
It's fun, it gets the kids moving, but it's not the way I would have wanted it done.
