Mary Van Dyke, actress in the video-"the ballet teacher", and pre-ballet and beginning ballet teacher in Chicago. "This video is wonderful for young children because it gets them up and dancing instead of just "watching" a video. They build coordination, imagination and concentration skills just by participating. The video gives insight into the ballet classroom and it lets them learn actual dances, very simplified for children. They are dancing to familiar music from their favorite Nutcracker music - Tchaikovsky - and it's a lot of fun! The ballet exercises are carefully planned and a wonderful introduction to children who will be starting ballet classes. The video is also a nice introduction to kids that will attend or participate in their first ballet performance."

Dancing for Kids. Baby Ballet, Tot Tap, Junior Jazz DVD
This unique DVD is a fun-filled introduction to the world of dance for kids! Specially designed for ages 4 through 6, children will learn the basics of ballet, tap, and jazz. The dances are demonstrated and explained step-by-step followed by a performance, so it's easy to dance along. The delightful music will help children remember and execute the dances. Includes three full programs: Baby Ballet, Tot Tap, and Junior Jazz.
Budding ballerinas ages 4 to 6 receive a thorough introduction to ballet at the tutelage of "Miss Rosemary" Boross in Baby Ballet. The program features Rosemary Boross, a student helper, and a small class of preschool age dancers as they explore the basics of warming up at the barre, stretching, center work, dancing across the floor, and revérénce. Miss Rosemary first describes and demonstrates steps like plié, tendu, suté, chassé, and grande jeté, then leads her class through each step to the accompaniment of original piano music by Bruce Stephen Foster. Because the program covers a large variety of steps and progresses fairly quickly, it is most effective when used in conjunction with enrollment in an introductory ballet class. Alternately, young dancers may want to view the video in short segments, then follow with ample practice time to ensure the correct execution of each individual step.
In Tot Tap, Miss Rosemary Boross presents an authentic first-year tap class specifically geared toward children ages 4 to 6. Miss Rosemary covers a variety of basic tap steps like shuffle, dig, heel drops, toe taps, heel taps, and cramp rolls. She carefully details and demonstrates each tap step, then incorporates the steps into simple dances rehearsed by preschool-age, beginning tap students and accompanied by original, rhythmic music by Bruce Stephen Foster. This informative, 30-minute video can be used alone or in conjunction with enrollment in a beginning tap class.
Junior Jazz is an introductory jazz dance lesson aimed specifically at children ages 4 to 6. Teacher Rosemary Boross covers four styles of dance within this "jazz" presentation: hip hop, musical theatre, rock, and swing. After demonstrating and explaining the individual steps within a combination, Miss Rosemary invites young viewers to dance along with her, two young adult helpers, and a small class of preschool children. Each dance combination has an animal theme like "Hippo Hop" and "Jungle Monkey Swing" and is set to fun original music composed by Bruce Stephen Foster and Brian Sepel with lyrics by Boross

Hip Hop Animal Rock Workout VHS
When we began to think about producing a new video for children, we had two goals in mind; one was to inform children about endangered animals in the world and the other was to do something that helped children learn and enjoy exercise. The idea for "Hip Hop Animal Rock Workout" made both of these goals possible. The video is hosted by Didi The Dodo Bird, a great animated character (dodo birds are extinct) who takes our live cast (and your kids) into the magical rain forest where they learn how to do various exercises based on the movements of many of our endangered animals - they are really lovable and the kids have a great time learning the animal tunes and movements. One of our favorites is the Elephant Glide. A very interesting thing about producing this video was that at the end of the production, most of our crew (including ourselves) lost weight working out with the kids! We are most proud of the quality of "Hip Hop Animal Rock" and have been rewarded with recognition by our own industry as well as from the fitness and television industries. Our crew was made up of many of the top names in television and film. We also consulted with and relied on experts from the fitness industry to ensure that 'Hip Hop Animal Rock" was not only safe for kids, but would also meet the requirements of a well-rounded fitness program. We know your children (and you) will enjoy it as much as we do. It's a great program for children 5 and up.
Susan Zwerman, co-producer of "Hip Hop Animal Rock is also a member of the Directors Guild of America with over 50 major films, 100 television commercials, and 30 theatrical Broadway and Off-Broadway plays to her credit. She has also won a Grammy Award for 'Best Concept Music Video' for Weird Al Yankovic's "I'm Fat," which was a parody of Michael Jackson's video "I'm Bad." Sonny Flink, co-producer, writer and co-creator of "Hip Hop Animal Rock Workout" is a successful screenwriter, educator, and international motivational speaker.
