My kids loved to dance to this show when they were Under 2

I am not sure what the first reviewer was watching, but that is not the show I remember. My kids loved to listen the original and silly songs that the boys danced to. Is the show educational...not really, but it did get the kids up and dancing!

What's the Story?

DANCE TIME BOYS is a an series featuring the nephews of Sheila Escovedo, a.k.a Grammy-nominated drummer Sheila E., as they fulfill their mission to keep kids moving and grooving. It stars 8-year old cousins PB and Jam, who ride their scooters to different neighborhoods to show folks how fun it is to dance and sing. Even more fun is the fact that they do it in English and Spanish.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (2):
Kids say: Not yet rated

The energetic, kid-friendly series focuses on getting kids to get up, move around, and have fun. It's also a family affair, and features original music and choreography created and produced by members of the Escovedo family, whose generations of Latin Jazz and popular music performers are renown throughout the music industry.

It's not the highest quality production, but the lyrics are easy for young children to sing along to, and the dance moves are fun and simple enough to follow, offering a positive way of showing young kids how to have a good time while establishing some healthy habits.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
