 Product Overview
How refreshingly unusual! This unique DVD is just right for families looking for something different and educational for their little ones. Nursery Tap Hip to Toe Volume One includes skits based on nursery rhymes, chants, and songs--all performed literally "from hip to toe". We only see the dancers' lower bodies.

It's Raining It's Pouring, One Two Buckle My Shoe, and Little Miss Muffet are just a few of the 30 nursery rhymes presented on the DVD. The dancers and performers wear costumes and perform skits, and little viewers only see them from the waist down. The toe-tapping, hip-hop rhymes are catchy, and the DVD is punctuated with surprising sounds.

Kid testers were mesmerized. The combination of rhymes and rhythms is excellent for stimulating young children's language skills. It's an artistic production that delivers an experience that is different, refreshing, and valuable.

The DVD comes with a bonus CD soundtrack.

Dollar Value
The DVD edition is available for a suggested retail price of $19.99 US.

The Bottom Line
