Well I purchased this video attempting to get my hands on any break dance video that existed. When I received the video I was disappointed by the quality of production. Mike does an excellent job in demonstrating the movies, but the video is extremely amatuer. This video is strickly for novist and fresh to the floor beginners. If you've been break dancing for any length of time, no matter how bad you are, their are more useful videos than this one. Like I said though, this is great for the people who saw break dancing for the first last weekend at a party or club and decided they would like to participate. If you know something about hip-hop dance already then look for a video called "Basic Moves." This will give you a little clearer view on technique. Keep Breaking!

I've been breakdancing for 1 year. Yet until this video I was doing the few same moves over and over. Not only did I learn names of moves, but I've also learned how to do them correctly. It helped me master the moves I knew and at the same time gave me a variety of moves to work on. Each move is broken down step by step. They can't be taught any easier. I definitely recommend this video to any beginner breaker.

I thought this video was very helpful and awsome. It boosted my energy and strength. Before I had the video i could hardly dance. This video was very direct and step by step. I took me about 2 weeks to learn moves. If you wanna learn how to break dance get this video.

I enjoyed watching this and have myself already tried the easiest parts - wave, glide, uprock, popping. Maybe soon I'll try some other things shown on this. I've also personally emailed Mike Garcia and praised this video. If you want to learn this dance yourself or know how those people who entertain you at shows with this kind of dance do their moves, this video is a must and so are also any other volumes of this series. Currently I have volumes 1 and 2, and I have also heard that there is or is going to be a volume 3 as well to this series.

This is a good and useful tape for everyone who wants to start and learn how to practicing break dance. Brings you back to the heroic eighties !!! However the quality of the tape is poor, looks like a 5 times copied version, its time to release on DVD.

This dvd has been fun to use while teaching myself and a thirteen year old student how to break dance. First of all, Mike Garcia shows the complete move, then he breaks it down into its simpler skill sets, then he shows it "in action". His visual and oral directions are easy to follow, but beware, they often require extreme upper body strength, coordination and balance. Be prepared to practice the preliminary skills often to develop the requisite strength and balance. As the dvd warns, you attempt these moves at your own risk. This dvd was well worth the investment.

The step by step is engaging and easy to follow.

We'll be ordering the others in this series :D

I've been breakin since the days when joust and tron were overflowing their coin buckets with bicentennial quarters. The card board on the street corner was my turn table and I was scratching human beats on that urban vinyl. I got a Beta VCR player, so I can play the tape - but the cover looks like its a winner!

Keep up the good work my man - tha breakin beats gotta come back to the streets!
