GREAT BOOK!!!,
By Top of the Food Chain (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Dance Moves in the World . . . Ever!: 100 New and Classic Moves and How to Bust Them (Paperback)
I'm a dance instructor and this book helps a lot for adding a few "twists" to my routines. The moves are classic, illustrations are colorful and fun (even displaying different wardrobes specific to the dance moves), and best of all, you're never short of ideas! Each move is broken down in pieces and the book also gives you recommended music and even precautions. Works great for dance parties too! You know those moves that it seems everybody knows but you? Not anymore! Highly recommended!

Living Room Fun!!,

This review is from: Best Dance Moves in the World . . . Ever!: 100 New and Classic Moves and How to Bust Them (Paperback)
What a great book! Its illustrations are colorful and clear, and the text is hilarious. Each dance description gives a brief history of the dance and of the people who made it famous. Then, there are simple step-by-step explanations of each dance, with very clear descriptions. ("[M]ove [your arms] from side to side, like you're drying your back with a towel.") There are suggestions for varying each dance or raising its level of complexity. ("Lean-ins and lean-outs will add a little sparkle...as will shoulder shimmies.") This book will remind you of all the old dances you once knew and will definitely make your next dance party a lot more fun. It's also fun to work your way through the book with your friends in your own living room.
