Our 18 month old really LOVED this! Zoe is a wonderful character, & Paula Abdul was so sweet and a great teacher.

I was really looking for a movie that my children could get up and work out to. I really thought this would do the job but it is just a video about different dances.

"I highly recommend this is purchased for any little one who shows an interest in dance. We bought this DVD for our daughter when she turned 2; now almost three she has amazed us by the way she uses the dances Paula and Zoe demonstrate; particularly ballet. At her nursery they are convinvced she goes to dance classes as she performs what she's learnt so beautifully! It's all done in simple gradient steps and shows a good variety of types of dance as well as ethnic dance - well worth the import to Brighton, England."
Fun for all ages

"I recently bought Zoe's Dance Moves for my niece's 3rd birthday. She LOVES it. The different dances keep her attention and up and moving the whole time. The nice surprize is that my 7 year old niece who thinks she is too old for Sesame Street is mesmerized by it too. She dance right along with Paula and Zoe. It nice to have a DVD they can both agree on and are up dancing to vs. sitting and watching. And as always with Sesame Street the multi-ethnicity is great."
Excellent for a 4yo dance & music enthusiast!

"Some of the people who are rating this video low seem to have very young kids. I think this video is better for the older crowd - 4 and 5 year olds, perhaps. It's actually got a lot of variety and switches back & forth between showing Paula and Zoe and then showing kids from various countries dancing in costumes and music that reflect their culture. It's more of an entertainment video than an exercise video - and my daughter tends to watch more than dance. However, she likes it better every time she watches it, and dances more each time. I love it and I love Paula, too! :)"
Educational and Fun!

"Zoe's Dance Moves is a great deal of fun! Paula Abdul leads Zoe, Elmo and a class of enthusiastic youngsters in learning dance styles from all over the world in a colorful and highly entertaining program! We picked this DVD up after watching a preview of it and it is one of my little one's favorites!! He is only 17 months old but loves watching Paula teaching Zoe all these incredible dance moves!! He hops up and down on the sofa and points his fingers and yells..Elmo! Zoe!! and squeals with glee! Although the video is designed for preschoolers..little ones under 2 seem to enjoy it as well!
Paula's infectious enthusiasm and energy make the program very entertaining! She should make more videos of this nature!! There is also a nice interview with Paula about her dance influences and early years studying dance! Very educational!
