I purchased this video along with Sesame Street - Dance Alongs. This video is more up to date than the Dance Alongs. My son likes to dance along with the kids in the video and has picked up a few of the dances. It doesn't hold his attention the entire video (he's 19 mos) but I'll take what I can get!

There are so many things that I do not like about this video, BUT, I have a child with Autism and this helped her put multiple steps together and increased her vocabulary.
I put it in and go to the other room.

If you are stuck in the house on a winter day stick this video in and start moving. Big Bird gathers the kids from Sesame Street to celebrate Radar's (his teddy bear) birthday. They go to the dance studio on Sesame Street and have a dance birthday party.

The tunes are lively and most of the dances are easy to follow and have fun with. It is good on a winter day to have something to help you get up and move. The children in my home gave it a definite thumbs up!

My sons love this we had it on videotape and when our machine imploded and we decided to switch completely to DVD we purchased it again. They still enjoy it just as much and the picture quality seems better.

I grew up with sesame street and they still are the best when it comes to childrens programs. I had parents who exposed me to jazz. I love it and so do my sons so seeing the legendary Joe Williams perform Birdland Jump at the "Birdland" club was worth purchasing this alone. (If your parents were jazz fans you will love this subtle nod to jazz traditions and Charlie Parker.)

The dance teacher character has a loud voice but not unlike the voice a teacher would use to be heard over a room full of active kids who are all taking at once, to me it did not seem annoying - a matter of taste.

In fairness to the other reviewers the plot is Bigbird throwing a dance party. This is not a dance lesson theme, there are other dance step/fitness oriented DVD's by Sesame Street including one that features Paula Abdul and Zoe Monster.

my two year old LOVES this video. it has great songs to dance to and they are songs i can even enjoy.
