The Wiggles professional experience as early childhood educators has taught them that children learn best through play. You Make Me Feel Like Dancing includes 20 new songs, and featuring special guest Leo Sayers.
"My boys and I love this video. We also purchased "Pop go the Wiggles" this summer, which is cute, but not as much fun as this one. As much as I've said I'm sick of the Wiggles (we're going on 3 years of listening to them!!), I must say I find myself dancing to this one with my 3 and 5 year old boys. It's a lot of fun."
The Wiggles...YES, They DO make you feel like dancing...

"There is an age difference between my boys and my middle child grew up on the "old" Wiggles with Greg and love them. These "new" Wiggles of course have Sam instead now. Though I was sad to read about Greg's health issues, Sam, his replacement, brings a new energy and vocal focus to the group.
My 18 month old and my 5 year old both adore this DVD, as do my wife and I, and even the "too cool" 6th grade middle-schooler in our home. I actually found myself singing these songs to myself at work all day after first playing the DVD for my kids. From classics like "Old Dan Tucker" and the "Hornpipe" to the "Shimmy Shake", every song here is wonderfully performed.
The Wiggles program that my 5 year old knew as a toddler was mostly skits with music thrown in now and again. This DVD is all music, all the time. The fantastic CGI sets and colorful characters combine for a truly stimulating experience. There are so many songs that kids will have no problem singing along to. The choreography and dancing that support the main cast are great...some old dancers and newer faces too...all bring even more energy to the DVD.
This 38 year-old dad of three boys "feels like dancing" too when he watches this DVD. The final refrain of the last song on the DVD is "and we all like Sam". Yes we do...you are my boys favorite Wiggle!

Best "New Wiggles" DVD

"We are fans of the "old" or traditional Wiggles DVDs, cheesy as they may be. I have to say we LOVED this one. It has songs and videos the adults could enjoy as well as the kiddos - some recognizable (non-Wiggles) songs and some new ones. The costumes were fun and the dances were great! Good entertainment value for the whole family. Highly recommended."
My preschooler turned it off after 5 minutes but it grew on

"We're new to the Wiggles, having only seen The Big Red Car from the library and having enjoyed the Big Red Boat CD. I saw this having 60 reviews, mostly positive and bought it. Big fat bust. My 4.5 y/o--who was so excited about this DVD--turned it off 3 songs into it.
Being new to the Wiggles and never having seen the show, I just assumed this DVD would be like The Big Red Car--live show format with some skits, some songs, some Wiggles-led dancing. Instead it's like a Wiggles MTV-80's video with the Wiggles singing songs, one after another with digital enhancement.
Unless you're looking for some background music, I'd skip it altogether. As far as something to sit and watch, it's useless in my opinion. But that being said, I had to come back and edit this review because we DID use it as background music, and my 2 y/o loves it. My preschooler enjoys doing some of the dances and the songs are catchy, as usual.
So for my new edited review, I've raised this from 1 to 3 stars. It's probably not something you will sit and watch like Big Red Car, but it is entertaining and provides upbeat dance music and steps for kids and mommy to move to."
This DVD Rocks! The Wiggles are so great in this one.

"I just cannot say enough good things about the Wiggles. My daughter (4 years old) loves them, and I think they're great. It's just good clean fun! The thing I really like about this DVD in particular is that they take songs that an adult would like and do remakes in such a way that everyone can enjoy. I've taken my girl to two of their concerts and I've seen them sing these songs live; my daughter HAD to tell me that only the kids were allowed to dance to the Wiggles. What a disappointment.
For anyone who doesn't know much about the Wiggles, it's an Australian band that plays kids' music, and they're taking the world by storm. They are magnificent. I think maybe you have to see them live in concert at least one time in order to fully appreciate them. It is helpful for your child to see the DVD for the particular show before you go to see it (more than once ideally) so that they -- and you -- can fully appreciate the show.
