Summary: need a mirror image
Comment: I think the dances are great but facing them makes it hard to know which way to go as they are using their left feet when we are using our right if we want to go in the same direction. She and Lara Barak from the Street Fusion DVD do the same thing though Karen's tape is easier to figure out. I just don't understand why they cannot do the same thing that Kelly Peters does in his MAKE IT HAPPEN DVD. It is real disapointing. I would be willing to pay more for a better video.Another great video is HOW TO DO THE ROBOT by Tyson EberlyHow To Do The Robot - Breakdance Instructional DVDandKelly Peters: Make It Happen - Hip Hop

Summary: not what I expected
Comment: I was hoping for more of a workout routine... this is a slow-paced dance instructional video. It gets you moving, but no really heart-pumping activity. Fun to learn new moves but won't work for my cardio.

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: I will try to be as objective as possible although my conclusions are based on my expectations. I expected a DVD that would substitute my hip-hop class for the days I can't attend it. Something that will make me sweat and have me learn new choreography, on top of some funky music. Well, this DVD didn't deliver any of these three things. The warm-up is slow (lots of explanation in stead of just getting into it), really basic, and it will not make you break a sweat (it lasts about 15 minutes). The three routines are okay, but because of the low production value and generic beats, I really didn't want to stick with it long enough to learn it. And frankly, everybody who teaches choreography from the TV should know that a back shot is absolutely obligatory in order not to be confused and have to translate the movements in the opposite direction. A big reason why I didn't stick with the choreography also.
If you only want to learn some choreography, have a lot of patience, and don't mind dancing only to beats, then this will work for you.

Summary: Boring............
Comment: *Yawn* Great Technique but the music sucks. some scenes dont even have music. Thats what hip hop is all about the MUSIC. Its generic elevator jazz in the background. not a good motivator for me. NEXT.

Summary: Not an exercise routine
Comment: This is good only if you want to learn how to dance, not if you're going to use dance as a way of exercise.
Karen goes a little fast, so I got frustrated after a while and turned it off. She spends longer on the easy moves, but flies through the difficult ones.
I reccommed Jennifer Gardalini(spelling of last name) if you want to dance for an actual purpose.
