Kids uniformly enjoyed this. Some boys enjoyed it more than girls. They liked that it wasn't so fast that you couldn't keep up with it. "It is fun to watch and we liked trying out the dances." They mentioned that some of the music was new to them but their grandmother knew the music. They all "got" the idea that you need to exercise and cut down on sugar intake. They noticed the diverse cast. "There were a lot of people of different colors." They also noted that there was no violence or put downs and, that the kids weren't all perfect doing the dances. Everyone said they'd watch it again! They never got bored watching it.
Very positive and timely - offering upbeat "dance" routines to kids that incorporates things such as jump ropes and basketballs and shows boys participating as well as girls. The kids onscreen are very authentic and seem to be enjoying themselves. It's a pretty simple, straightforward independent production but something that kids can easily relate to. Plus, it's fun. It is extremely suitable for children, particularly with the interest in dance that's been generated from High School Musical and Dancing with the Stars. So many different types of dance are included, from the jive to the cotton eyed Joe to hip hop. Fun!
