From the Actor

This was such an interesting decade to research because everyone was doing their own thing! However, some dances did go mainstream and that is what is on this tape based on a national survey. Many of the dances originated from the break dancing craze and were a little difficult for the mainstream public to do. So I have included the easiest of the dances and a very beginning secion on break dancing. This video is greared towards beginners.

Product Description

Welcome to the 1980’s! The time when music television made it’s debut and compact discs were outselling vinyl records! Funky style dancing was the craze and it was fashionable to wear parachute pants, biker shorts or sweats. So whether you are practicing for an upcoming party or you just want to invite your friends over, get ready to look awesome doing the dances of the 80’s including the Running Man, Roger Rabbit, Robo Cop, Cabbage Patch, Moonwalk, Funky Twist, New Kids Move, Poppin’, Lockin’ and More!

This review is from: Christy Lane's Learn the Dances of the 80's [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was really excited to learn the funky dances of the 1980s so I searched and searched the internet and Christy Lanes Learn the Dances of the 80's was about all I could find. I was a bit disappointed. She does show you a lot of different dances, but she only spends a few minutes on each, which can make you extremely frustrated, especially if you are a beginner. If you don't mind rewinding, rewinding, rewinding to try and catch what she is doing, then you will probably like this video, but of course it is a VHS so all that rewinding wears it out.

Oh, and if you are looking to learn the Moonwalk.... hah! She literally spends about 15sec on it, and basically all you learn is that moonwalking is sliding your feet as if you are trying to scrape gum off your shoe.

If you don't mind spending a few bucks, hey go for it, its fun(man I wish I could do some of the moves she does). Be forewarned though, that its hard to keep up because she goes quickly and does not show you very good angles, but since this is about the only 80's funky dance video out there (that I know of) its worth trying.

Im giving it 4 stars because it was the only 80s dance video I could find.
