Kids interested in dancing were mesmerized. They told dancer friends about it, who asked to see it. "My friends who like dancing would like the tap dancing and the clothes." "It showed people how to dance." Some of the kids repeated the rhymes, some tapped their feet. Non-dancers became restless.
Unique, fun film. Non-flashy, simple introduction to dance. Clear instructions and visual examples with costumes and styles from different cultures. Narrator's voice is soothing yet expressive. "Uncomplicated sets keep the viewer's attention on the dance steps instead of other things."
Thirty well known and not-so-well known traditional nursery rhymes are put to dance. Little Miss Muffet is on pointe and Peter Piper is a very hip hopper. How about tap dancing to It's Raining It's Pouring? With the camera focused on legs and feet, it's easy for aspiring dancers to learn new steps.
