What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Tony Hicks

DANCE FIESTA! is a fun way to get your resident Dora the Explorer fan off the couch and on the living room dance floor. While it lacks the obvious interactive and educational qualities of the TV show, it will get your kids dancing and singing. Like on the show, there is some Spanish thrown in the mix on songs like "Oye Como Va," (with Carlos Santana) and "La Bamba," (with Los Lonely Boys). That's how big Dora has gotten. She makes a CD and attracts two of the biggest and best names in Latin Rock history.

Is It Any Good?

Parents familiar with Dora the cartoon character will know that her high-pitched, always enthusiastic voice can get to be a bit much. But seemingly not for kids. And If you can deal with one of Nick Jr.'s Dora marathons, then you can deal with this. The CD would be fun to break the ice for a birthday party of 3- or 4-year-olds. Kids will automatically dance to this, as sure as they'd magnetically gravitate to cake and ice cream.
