The theme of this DVD is circus. It’s fun to learn a lot of fancy words related to circus. The dance moves are much easier for kids to follow than the previous “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing”. My daughters (3 & 1.5Y) just started gym class at the local YMCA, so they are excited to see all the tumbling and gymnastic tricks (although similar to the previous “Big Big Show”). Repetition is definitely an important key in child development. My daughters love to practice their dance moves along with the songs over and over again.

The songs are cheerful, as all the Wiggles’ songs. The rhyming lyrics are good for my daughters’ language development as I can see them trying to catch the sounds and using the words.

The stage does seem a little bit small to fit all the wiggly dancers, and the colorful background is a bit distracting at times. Overall, this DVD, as all the Wiggles DVD, makes my daughters dance and jump, sing along and giggle, and have a good time doing physical activities.

Our kids watch something from the Wiggles every day, whether it be from their TV show or from one of our many Wiggles DVD’s. Naturally, we added this one to our collection. So imagine my surprise to see how uninspiring this production turned out. The whole show was stuck in a small circular stage, and the colorful circus atmosphere clashed with the black starry backdrop and polka-dotted black floor. The songs were rather bland. They did the same gymnastic numbers as they did on their other recent DVD release, “The Wiggles: Big, Big Show!”. And at times, the camera was 10-feet high and you would be looking down on the Wiggles at an awkward camera angle. This is nothing like their computer graphic enhanced DVD’s, “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” and “The Wiggles Go Bananas!”. It’s more basic than “Hoop-Dee-Doo! It’s a Wiggly Party”, and that’s going way, way back. I hate to do it, Wiggles, but I have to give it 2-stars. Here’s hoping the next DVD production turns out better.
