Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Hip Hop Shop's winning equation: 10 dance moves, a few cute and talented kids, three pro teachers (including the pioneering CrazyLegs of Rock Steady Crew), and one infectious philosophy: Hip hop's all about "the flavor you bring to the dance." You gotta have "flow." You also oughta have ready access to the rewind button to replay the instructions a few hundred times. While the steps are broken down to kid-friendly basics, the action can seem head-turningly complicated. The six hip-hop moves are the most accessible, while the break dancing sometimes appears comically confusing. Yet the precocious backup dancers, regular-looking kids who mirror the video's target age of 5 to 12, make all the right moves, making it seem like there's hope for even the most dance-impaired child, or parent, to "find your groove" in the privacy (thankfully) of home. --Valerie J. Nelson

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool but not for little kids, February 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hip Hop Shop [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a good video but you need to be able to have a groove and i'm 12 and it was not the easiest thing, i don't think anyone under 10 could do it very easily. Other than that it's so far a great video. My friend and I didn't want to stop dancing when we started it. It's a good value but dont get it for a 5 year old even though it say ages 5-12. people over can do it fine and i think younger than 8 or so not at all. maybe but in my opinion no. that's what i think but other wise it's a GREAT VIDEO

5.0 out of 5 stars A good teaching video for children & early teens, January 15, 2006

By	V. Neal (Huntersville, NC USA) - See all my reviews

I got this video for my 5 1/2 yr old to begin to get some experience in "party" dancing. The moves are very easy to follow. She loves the video, as does her younger 3 1/2 yr old sister. They have watched it 5 or 6 times now and still love it. While the oldest is not a master of the moves yet, it is exactly what I was looking for. It is a video that introduces her to some dance steps, while encouraging her to create her own. It allows her to have fun (not sit in front of the TV) and learn some dance moves at the same time. I would expect that if she continues to watch the video that it would help her get some confidence and be able to dance. Although the video is not necessarily for 5 year olds, she is able to "try" the moves and should be able to get them down after practicing. I think this video has "staying power" -- they will use it for a few years.

I would recommend this for someone looking for a basic dance video. It is good for 5 year olds on up to early teens. (My husband and I were even trying out some moves!) Keep in mind it is hip hop, not the waltz. It is good for kids learning to dance with other kids. And I agree with another reviewer, I was pleased that it is not too racy for childen -- it is in quite good taste.

After they get the moves down, I will try the Hip Hop Shop 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars My boys LOVE it!, April 29, 2005

By	Sweetly 99 - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hip Hop Shop [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We just got the DVD about a week ago and my kids love it! My boys love videos and dancing and this was perfect for them. They are 10 and 5 and both were able to do all the steps after the first 2 viewings. My 2 year old daughter even gets up and does some of the easier moves with them!!! FUN, EASY and GREAT EXERCISE!!! I've done the tape with them and it's an awesome workout that the whole family can have fun doing together! Much better than sitting in front of the T.V. or playing video games all day!!! :)))
