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.

* [[Take Our Word for It]]: 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.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: The giant teddy bears called "The Teds". They whisper silently to each other, but Bella can hear and understand them from twenty feet away.
* [[Viewers Are Goldfish]]: 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.
