Bella Dancerella is a set of toys released by Spin Master Ltd that teach children ages 5 - 7 the (very) basic moves of ballet. The first set included a DVD, a ballet bar, and a mat showing the foot positions. A second set, Swan Lake, had the same equipment but a different DVD. Additional toys and videos followed.

!!The first Bella Dancerella DVD: "Let's Dance"

* ChromaKey: Used extensively.
* {{Crossdresser}}: Bella tells the girls that when ballet began, "all the dancers - even the ones in skirts - were men." All of them giggle, Bella included.
* ClarkesLawForGirlsToys: Bella uses magic to make the equipment appear and to change costumes.
* {{Dedication}}: "For Paul" at the beginning of the end credits.
* DoubleStandard: Bella tells the girls to always be respectful of other dancers. This is ''after'' she has a good laugh about men in skirts dancing.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: When Bella uses her "magic".
* FunnyAnimal: Maxie Monkey "My cheeky little friend" puppet.
* JailBait: Obviously not invoked on the DVD, but the number of men searching to find out who "Bella" really was is evident in searching online for "Bella Dancerella Actress Name".

* MerchandiseDriven: the videos are fun, and it does teach the simple steps - but it's really just there to hock the toys.
* NonActionSnarker: Maxie.

* OnlyOneName: No one in the credits, neither actress nor crew, is listed by anything other than their first name.
* StageNames: Bella Dancerella - Aussie Gabriella Toniolo.
* TakeOurWordForIt: Bella explains that the five ballet steps and explains that each of the other dances on the DVD just use combinations of those steps - but when you see those dances, the dancers aren't using any of those steps during the very ''rare'' times we actually see their feet.
* TheUnintelligible: The giant teddy bears called "The Teds". They whisper silently to each other, but Bella can hear and understand them from twenty feet away.
* ViewersAreGoldfish: Given the target audience are young, but you don't need to put a flashing "REPLAY" on the screen to let them know you're showing them again.
