Hip Hop Shop

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.

Hip Hop Shop.......2007-06-14

Not as professional as off da hook, I perfer watching off da hook, I'm not sure about the kids preference. But it didn't cost as much so I guess you get what you pay for

Fun.......2007-01-12

This is a fun video, especially for kids in need of physical activity. My 5 year old daughter and her eight year old friend had a great time practicing the moves. Neither was able to get it on the first couple of tries, but after practicing 4 or 5 days they have it now. The video is about an hour long and is more fun when done with at least one other person.

Sorry I bought this.......2006-11-08

This DVD is very cheesy and I am sorry I bought it.

I"M IN THE VIDEO.......2006-02-09

Hey I'd just like to say that I'm one of the kids in the video and its great to read all the good feedback on the video. I'm glad you guys like it because we put a lot of time and effort into making it. CrazyLegs and Robin are two of the best Hip-Hop teachers in New York and it was great to have them collaborate on this video for the public. Thanks again.

A good teaching video for children & early teens.......2006-01-16

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.
