Breakin' It Down With Laurie Ann Gibson Reviews:
just OK 
2009-07-20 - Like some reviewers had stated, if you are a rookie to hip hop, you'd get lost, if you are an advanced dancer, the moves are not challenging or refreshing.
It's not a dance class set-up, which I'd prefer. If you take a dance class, the teacher will demonstrate a few moves at a time and say "let's go from the top" a few times. By the time the last step is taught, you'd be dancing the routine a few dozen times. That's how dancers learn routines, by going over and over.
Sadly, this is not the style of Laurie's DVD. She'd teach the steps and maybe go over the accumulative steps once or twice before the end when the complete routine is done only once.
Of all three, the advanced routine is the best and most hip-hoppy. The beginner one is a joke. The intermediate has mostly sports oriented moves (like the movie Honey) and not challenging or dancey enough.
If you are relatively good at hip hop and picking up moves, I'd recommend Hip Hop Funk master Jermaine Browne's Broadway Dance Center class. His three routines will let you shine big time at clubs and company holiday dance parties.
Horrible 
2009-04-07 - I would not recommend this product. She doesn't break down the dances using counts, and she moves too fast. You have to keep stopping the dvd and going back to learn the dance. I was really disappointed with this dvd.
WE LOVE IT 
2009-01-17 - Imma a mother of 3 kids who think they are pretty hip, they love to dance, I mean love it, I too have a pretty extensive background in hiphop dance, We have been doing this since christmas and perfecting it. We plan to perform it for the talent show at the next big family gathering. The fact that we can back it up and do it over and over and over until we get it is a bonus. But if you dance and are pretty good and keeping up and can remember the steps it wont take as long as it is taking my 8 year old to get it. We Love it. It's Hip, It's funky, It is Jammin. Get it, its worth it.
LOL 
2008-11-07 - WELL GOT THIS FOR FUN , AND SOME OF THE DANCE MOVES ARE SO RETARDED LIKE PRETENDING UR HITTING A BASEBALL AND THERE'S A BASKETBALL ONE, HONESTLY DOES ANYONE DANCE LIKE THAT?
Just in the middle
2007-08-29 - There was quite a bit to be desired in this DVD (a proper warm-up, more repetition for dance steps, less name dropping) but I did like a few things (the style of the steps, the flow of the final set, high energy) so I gave it three stars. I just dance for fun in the morning so there may be more technical reasons for the whys and why-nots of this DVD...this is just an inexperienced persons view.
