Editorial Reviews

From the Actor

Gino Johnson, writer, choreographer, and producer of the DVD explains, "We didn’t want to make just a "How-To" Video. Hip hop takes confidence. We wanted to make a DVD that was informative, positive and motivating. Young dancers and cheerleaders need to be motivated to do some of the floor rocking hip hop today. This is for boys and girls who want to show off and look good doing it. Not only do we show the latest dances and steps, we also try to uplift them in the process by providing a better alternative than to the bumping and grinding displayed on some of today’s music video networks."

About the Actor

Throughout his 25-year career, Gino Johnson has taught more than 15,000 people, choreographed 4,000 routines, taught in six countries, founded two dance studios and produced four instructional videos. His award-winning choreography has been seen on ESPN, ABC, and Fox. Many of today's hottest teams, including the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and the Dallas Maverick Dancers, have taken the floor with his high-energy moves and steps. Gino’s passion for dance, comedic style and wealth of dance knowledge have made him one of the most sought after teachers today.

This review is from: Urban Cheer & Dance DVD (DVD)

This is a very well done DVD that is worth your money. It has the latest moves and awesome hip hop music and beats. The routines are shown in real time, slow motion, front and back and sides. It's executed at a good pace. Not too fast, not too slow, just perfect to learn it while watching it. The teaching is of excellent quality. The names of the steps, like the A-Town stomp and the Chicken Head, the Heel Toe, Freezes and breakdance steps are shown at the bottom of the screen to let you know what they are. This is a good video to show your squad and improve your dancing skills. It is entertaining and of high professional quality. You should have no problem learning it.

I bought this DVD due to, I'm having Shoulder surgery in weeks and my cheer squad really needed new material. I coach [...] girls with little to no experience in dance or cheerleading. This product states it can be used for beginners however, to be Very honest my girls had a very difficult time with the dance moves!
The routines are put together well, I'd maybe use it for a older squad with dance exp.

This review is from: Urban Cheer & Dance DVD (DVD)

The ONE routine taught in this DVD is cute but it's not for youth 5-10 squads. There is so much talk and kidding around and hem haw before they actually get to the routine and show you what it looks like. I can't use it and it takes to long to get through all the documentary stuff to the dance stuff....
