Barbie in the Pink ShoesBarbie™ in The Pink Shoes is the latest DVD which takes the iconic doll on a magical adventure into a dream ballet world. At nearly three Harriet already goes to ballet class and loved the English National Ballet's My First Sleeping Beauty just as I'm sure she'll delight in My First Cinderella.

Barbie plays Kristen, a young dancer who is always second to the rather unpleasant Tara, the troupe's lead dancer. As they prepare for a performance in front of the major players in the ballet world, Kristyn is crushed by both Tara's hurtful comments and her ballet shoes coming apart.

Seeking another pair of pumps, Kristyn is given a pair of pink ballet shoes and suddenly she and her friend Hailey are transported to the world of Giselle and Swan Lake where she has to dance for her life and defeat the evil Snow Queen.

As in traditional fairy tales the characters in the magical world have their counterparts in the real one. But Kristyn is not led astray by offers of marriage. Our feisty heroine talks about college and career.

The message in Barbie™ In The Pink Shoes is an obvious one about the value of friendship and the importance of working for your dream – whatever that may be.

No doubt Barbie™ In The Pink Shoes will have little girls and hopefully little boys pirouetting around the room and you can read leading ballerina, Lauretta Summerscales, How to get your child into ballet.
