    Plain sailing throughout

    Lovely dvd. I bought one for my grandaughter over a year ago. She's now completely smitten with the programme, especially "The Nutcracker" and ballet in general. So, I bought one for my new grandchild as an introduction to the arts.
    It couldn't have been simpler to order. (In fact I order another dvd for myself at the same time) The dvds were well packaged and were delivered when promised.

    Wonderful

    I bought this for my granddaughter two year's ago and it still inspires, pleases and enchants her. There are four different ballets but, like most young children, she sticks to what she likes so there are still two ballets in the set that she hasn't seen, but no doubt will grow into. Her favourite initially (she was 3) was Peter and the Wolf, but now she's 5, she loves the Nutcracker. She loves to act out the story and move to the music (copying the dancers), and there's so many opportunities to include granny and mummy in the dance. The sets are beautiful, the camera work clear and the overall effect is magical. This has been a very worthwhile and enjoyable gift.
