Summary: Teaches you at your own pace, YEAH RIGHT!!!!
Review: Ok, so darren is suppose to teach you at your own pace how to do all of these stupid 15 second dance moves of each of these songs, well, I don't think so. He teaches to fast and its confusing b/c your right is his left and your left is his right and when he says "move to you RIGHT" in the video, you do so and then he doesn't go to his right he goes to his left, so were facing the same way when were not suppose to. Is it me or am I the only one who notices that. Well, you also can't tell if he's telling you to go to "your left" or if he's telling the dancers to go to their lefts b/c he sometimes faces the way you are when he's not suppose to and I am always like "What????" the tape is only 55 minutes long and about 20 of that is about him and the rest is him teaching you how to dance TOO FAST. I learned the Britney Spears one within 2 days and the nsync one within 3days but I am still not good on doing Nsy'c bye bye bye. Please, don't waste your money on this tape. ...

Summary: BIGGEST WASTE OF YOUR HARD EARNED CASH!!
Review: i hated it!! darrin promises you'll be able to dance like all the stars....yeah right. it is so difficult to follow!! the camera angles are horrible..and you always have to watch it over and over and over again until you think you've got it down. the tape also has parts in between dances where darrin talks about his life. if i wanted a biography..i would've wasted my money on sumthin else!!! the commercials for this item are very tricky. when i bought it..i thought they'd teach you the whole dance, when in reality..the dance turns out to be about 15 seconds of the song. he then goes through the tape really fast, and then when you get to try the dance to the music..its practically impossible. its not a good workout either. i got it last year, and the only thing it does now is collect dust...DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

Summary: Fun But Opposite
Review: This is very fast paced with funky camera movements (not 'instructional-friendly'). The biggest turn-off for me was that you have to move 'opposite' of what you see in screen because they are 'facing you' and doing their 'right/left' moves. I am used to seeing the instructors in my other workout video move in 'mirror opposite'... Each little move take a good load of patience to learn, so you will end up pausing the video most of the time. Fun moves though, and gives you a sense of 'accomplishment' when you finally get to dance the routine.

Review: I can review this tape in just ONE word...TERRIBLE...that's all you need to know.

Summary: Average.
Review: I thought there would be more to this tape than the commercial, but was wrong. What you see on the commercial is what you get. The rest of the video is commentaries and Darrin talking. The thing I dont like about this video is that Darrin teaches you the moves while facing you. That was a little difficult for me considering that when he does a move with his left, turn left and kicks left facing you, you have to do it all with your right, which was a little confusing for me. Other than that, it's ok.

Summary: Good video but painful
Review: Yes, you get to do some of the moves from the hottest videos but frankly the "bye - bye - bye" move and others like really are not worth learning. However at the end he teaches some awesome dance moves that are just for the tape which makes up for all the boring useless stuff. He should have just had more of that. The video also has tons of "filler" material where you are not learning anything, and the camera angles suck (he'll describe legwork, while he's doing it, but it will be a shot of his face). The camera angles get better as the video progresses. Hard to watch.

Summary: Great video for advanced dancers!
Review: This video is great for dancers! It has a lot of fun dances, and you can practice technique. I wouldnt recomend it to beginners, because its fast. But, for me it was just perfect.

Summary: More Hype than Substance
Review: I got this to learn some hip-hop moves to incorporate into my dance routine. While it is fun to watch, it is definitely not made to be an instructional piece. I agree w/everyone's gripe about the orientation and mirroring aspect. The "slow" part of showing the steps were laughable.Look to it for ideas and inspiration. Don't count on learning moves clearly and step-by-step w/this. There are good dancers and/or good dance instructors. It is not common to see both in one person. Darrin is an awesome dancer, but a visibly unseasoned instructor as demonstrated by this sad example.

Summary: Terrible, not worth it at all
Review: The first annoying thing about this video is having to sit through about 15 minutes or so of Darrin's information about himself. He doesn't seem to realize that people get the video to learn about dancing, not to learn about him. Secondly, the moves are presented rapid-fire, with very little repetition. You have to hit the rewind button every 5 seconds to catch what just happend. He doesn't really show how to do the dances; he just shows what they look like. There's a huge difference. If he tried to "teach the stars" the way he teaches his video audience, he'd never have made 2 cents. This video was a huge disappointment and a total waste of money.

Summary: Its OK
Review: This video was okay. I am a teen and was hoping to learn some cool dance moves. The video goes slightly fast, but you can always rewind. They usually only show you the chorus part of the song and there are inly 4 songs on here. It is hard to always remember that you have to do the opposite side of what he is doing.
