This program lets kids choreograph 3D dance routines for Barbie and her five new international friends. Girls can choose outfits for the characters, decorate the stage, choreograph and then watch Barbie and her friends perform the dance. Unfortunately, the creativity tools are difficult to figure out, and getting the dancers to do what you want can be a frustrating experience. The program lacks responsivity as well, with lots of lost clicks. In addition to choreographing dances, kids can create a “personality page” for an onscreen scrapbook. This activity is very weak, with too few choices of artwork and no text options. Try Lego Friends instead. Teaches: creativity, dance Age Range: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Copyright © 2000 Children’s Software Revue
