Hip Hop Fuzion

Summary: Challenging, fun
Review: A good video to learn hip-hop moves and have a good time doing it. It's a good balance of teaching you slow yet moving fast enough that you can do the DVD over and over again. If you are new to dance, it will certianly take time and frequent rewinding to catch on. If you're experienced, it can still be challenging to get it "look and feel right". It's a long and (to me) complicated coreography. The reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars, is that the warm-up is really short (you're supposed to stop the DVD and continue yourself), and there is no cool-down. The complete coreography is also not repeated at the end, which means you need to rewind.

Summary: Learn the best from the best!
Review: Finally! A "how-to" dance dvd that you can actually LEARN from! After purchasing several other Hip Hop videos I was discouraged by the "performance" value rather than the "instruction" part. On this DVD Gregg Russell is a great dancer as well as an inspiring teacher. He really breaks down all the moves (from the back-thank you) so it's much easier to follow. I also liked the fact that is a one hour tape and not ANY time is wasted on excess chit chat-it's all pure instruction and dance moves. You get a short warm-up, alot of break dance moves, and a really cool dance routine. The dance is long, so I'm learning it in small sections at my own pace. Plus, Russell really is a cool guy and very funny!  I was totally entertained and enlightened by this DVD. 5 stars
