Boring... just kids jumping around.......2007-03-09

Too much talking in between the music sections. Not enough muppet action. Too much footage of kids jumping around ("dancing").

This could have been so much better if they had simply pieced together upbeat musical muppet segments from everyday episodes. We are much more entertained by the wit and energy of the daily musical segments on any given Sesame Street episode. We want to see singing pigs, dancing monsters, horn-playing muppets, guest singers... you know what I mean if you watch the show.

Skip this video. It's lame.

2nd time around and still loves it!.......2007-02-12

I had this in VHS for my oldest when she was a toddler. Now that my 3rd is getting into the Sesame Street age, she loved it to wearing it out, so I had to get the DVD. I hum these little songs along with her for hours afterwards.

Kids love it!.......2007-01-26

Okay, so it's goofy, annoying, off-pitch in places, but hey...the kids just love it! I bought the video for my son when he was 2. Now that he is 7 and my daughter is 3, I had to buy the DVD because we threw away our last VCR. They get a good workout from dancing all the way through the show. Fun!

Get Up and Dance.......2006-03-07

If you are stuck in the house on a winter day stick this video in and start moving. Big Bird gathers the kids from Sesame Street to celebrate Radar's (his teddy bear) birthday. They go to the dance studio on Sesame Street and have a dance birthday party.

The tunes are lively and most of the dances are easy to follow and have fun with. It is good on a winter day to have something to help you get up and move. The children in my home gave it a definite thumbs up!

Toddlers love it + Joe Williams.......2006-01-14

My sons love this we had it on videotape and when our machine imploded and we decided to switch completely to DVD we purchased it again. They still enjoy it just as much and the picture quality seems better.

I grew up with sesame street and they still are the best when it comes to childrens programs. I had parents who exposed me to jazz. I love it and so do my sons so seeing the legendary Joe Williams perform Birdland Jump at the "Birdland" club was worth purchasing this alone. (If your parents were jazz fans you will love this subtle nod to jazz traditions and Charlie Parker.)

The dance teacher character has a loud voice but not unlike the voice a teacher would use to be heard over a room full of active kids who are all taking at once, to me it did not seem annoying - a matter of taste.

In fairness to the other reviewers the plot is Bigbird throwing a dance party. This is not a dance lesson theme, there are other dance step/fitness oriented DVD's by Sesame Street including one that features Paula Abdul and Zoe Monster.

very entertaining.......2005-07-20

my two year old LOVES this video. it has great songs to dance to and they are songs i can even enjoy.

Finally!!!!!!!.......2005-07-08

This DVD allows me 20 min to get dinner ready, or do my makeup, or clean the kitchen. My daughter LOVES it. We have had to cut her down to just twice a day because she wants to watch all the time. She is 18-months old and follows the dance instruction and copies the children on the screen. She even will repeat phrases like "touch toes" or "fall down". Awesome!

An inexplicably beloved video.......2005-06-17

I agree with most of the criticisms posted but for some reason my 1-year-old twins have been in love with this video since the first time they saw it (which was when they were about 11 months). The songs are catchy and cute and they don't seem to annoy me like other children's songs do. The twins are now 16 months and they are starting to imitate the dancing from the video, which is also positive. One other positive aspect of this video is that it is not rehashed clips from previous Sesame Street shows. All I can say is that this video is magic on a bad day and my kids never, ever get tired of it.
