Guide Review - Nursery Tap Hip To Toe - Children's Nursery Rhymes DVD

Nursery Tap: Hip to Toe is a delightful collection of children's nursery rhymes which is far apart from the ordinary. Ballet dances, tap dances and hip hop tap dances set in accordance to nursery rhymes add that "special something" to this DVD. The graceful ballet moves enchant the children, while the tap dances make the children want to get up and join in! One interesting thing in this children's nursery rhymes DVD is that only the bottom half of the dancers is picturized, not showing any faces, thus emphasising the movement of the legs and feet. This children's nursery rhymes DVD has a collection of around 30 or so nursery rhymes.

The Nursery Tap DVD has won the 2005 George Foster Peabody award, which comes as no surprise. Graceful and imaginative costumes, creative sets and great choreography set this children's nursery rhymes DVD way above the rest. Nursery Tap: Hip To Toe comes highly recommended. Your children will enjoy watching this DVD and learning the nursery rhymes, and will love to dance along as they do so!
