Breath of Fresh Air - my children love it!.......2007-03-03
Nursery Tap, Hip to Toe Volumes I and II are my favorite gifts for baby showers and birth announcements. Infants love listening to the nursery rhymes on CD, and children as young as 9 months love watching the rhymes performed in a variety of dance styles. The choreography is charming and tells a story; the sets and costumes are simple and clever. The device of showing only the dancers' bodies and feet allows children to imagine the characters. Our copies are very popular with our six year-old and her older sister dances along. I highly recommend Nursery Tap to all parents looking for a break from Disney, Nickelodeon and Baby Einstein.
As Charlotte would say, "Terrific, Radiant!".......2007-03-03
Both Nursery Tap, Hip to Toe (Volume One and Two) were given to my twin daughters when they were three and have been a favorite ever since! My girls are now five, and are still drawn into the magic of these one of a kind masterpieces. The rythmic nursery rhmes set to dance are a must see for kids...my daughters LOVE them!
In their own words..."I like it because I like to see the dancing" and " I like it because...I don't know, I just love it so much!"
I would recommend these fabulous DVD's to any family with young children. It is by far a favorite in our house and I'm sure it will be in yours!
Creepy.......2007-02-26
I can see why people talk about the creativity in this movie. It is not like anything I have seen before. However, the "creativity" is actually quite frightening to both my child and myself. This movie is creepy. I would not recommend this to anyone. The only value this movie may have is for a child who is very serious about dance lessons to be able to watch the footwork.
Mezmorized my kids.......2007-02-24
5 star... it won't let me change my mistake of 3 stars. I teach dance and have four kids ages 8,6,4,2. My kids watch this over and over. They are even learning the dances. It is literally just the dancers waists down and did seem strange at first, but I love how it show emotions can be portrayed through pure dance, not facial expressions. I also appreciate that it comes with a cd so we can listen in the car. I've incorporated some of the nursery rhyme/dance with my younger dance classes. Great product!
Entertaining, Captivating, Educational.......2005-09-27
This is a great video for toddlers! The formatting and design helps children practice their language skills and work on their fine motor skills (movement), while introducing them to the performing arts.

Wow! How fun and unique!.......2007-03-09
When I first played this for my 3 year old she giggled and danced along and she continues to do so. This is her favorite DVD and we play the CD in the car. She is now performing her favorite rhymes all the time. This is clever, fun and unique.
So glad to have it.......2007-03-03
My niece got this DVD as a present and boy am I glad. She loves to watch it. She's 4 and she loves to watch the legs dance and see if she can learn the steps. She giggles and giggles. We've gotten to the point where we have to encourage her to watch something else for a change. You care-givers know what I'm talking about. So you are aware, you do only see the dancers from the waist down, but that doesn't bother her in the slightest. I recommend this DVD highly.
The kids love it!.......2007-01-17
My nephews absolutely flipped for this DVD! They watch it over and over and over -- memorizing the steps. Finally, I've given a gift that they love! Thanks!
YIKES! Headless dancers!.......2006-11-28
I guess I should have caught on to the play on words in the title - "Hip to Toe". I am a dance instructor looking for new ideas for my preschool and elementary dancers. This is NOT what I hoped for by any stretch of the imagination! The description claims this is an "Award Winning Rhyming Sensation" - how misleading! My children were NOT entranced with this strange combination of headless dancers tapping and twirling to spoken nursery rhymes. We were all quite turned off by the sheer weirdness of the whole presentation. YIKES! I would obviously not recommend this DVD to anyone in the "real" world looking for children's entertainment or training materials but it may have some "artistic" value for those whose tastes run to the "artsy" and unique.
