Kids Exercise DVDs - fun fitness routines for children

In this video, five time world champion, Rene Bibaud, uses her extensive experience including international tours with Cirque Du Soleil to teach beginner students everything they need to start performing the basics, in a fun and rewarding way. More experienced "jumpers" will be excited to see that Rene shares many of her performance techniques and great supplemental moves like rope throws, dance inspired rope manipulations, turns, moves across the floor and much more. Rene instructs with five students in "ROPEWORK for KIDS" to illustrate basic intermediate and advanced single rope skills and breaks them down in an easy to learn format. We show kids routines to practice and help you learn how to create your own, by sharing the elements of a competitive freestyle routine. Basic instruction is given for partner and group routines, and we make double dutch easy to learn. With inspiring highlights and great music, we show you just how far this former playground pastime has come. This video is very appropriate for adults too. 45 mins. (2002) DVD-Region 1.
