Madonna Grimes Hip Hop Moves Reviews:
Great teacher, learn dance moves & choregraphy
2009-11-09 - This is an obvious bad copy of a VHS. Set in a workout room w/wood floors & mirror on your right, you feel like you're in a small class w/Madonna & her 6 girlfriends. They have fun making jokes, etc. but always keep you moving. it relaxes you & you really get into the dance because of Madonna's great body awareness & friendly & fun personality.
The only problem with this is the editing & camerawork. The camera changes to weird angles or flashes to just this person's face or that & makes it harder to learn, though Madonna teaches well. Also, something went wrong with the exposure? that there are slight scan lines & people look like there are several copies of themselves when they move quick, like a computer running slow or very weak video card. It's not terrible, but just slightly annoying. It is still more then clear enough to see w/o straining, just not high production. As another said, even though there are 6 women (who dance well, though I admit, I only concentrate on Madonna, but I always notice bad dancers), 90% of the time, you only see the middle 4 behind Madonna.
You get a short warm-up, and learn choreography & then cool down in 30 min. Madonna teaches in 1/4 - 1/2 speed several times, then full tempo several times before teaching you the next. She has you repeat the previous moves once you've practiced the new move. The moves themselves are early-mid 90s old school hip hop. Mostly body rolls, knees in/out quickly, V step & hip bumps.

You can find a 6 min clip on youtube on BeYOUtv's channel under: "Sista's of Soul - Hip Hop Workout"
This shows the teaching/practice of the 3rd set of moves of the choreography portion in it's entirety practically. What you would have seen after that clip is her then linking that to the rest of the routine slow several times & then fast.

There are other clips on youtube of her workouts if you look up her name or Dance Street Hip Hop.

Dance workout video
2009-01-31 - I like Madonna Grimes' dance workout videos. You find your self moving along to fun music, exercising, and along the way looking cool as you learn new dance steps. I bout about 4 dvds from her dance street series. She's alot of fun to learn from.

Poor Filming Quality
2007-12-21 - The videos are filmed and edited so poorly that I couldn't finish them, you can't even see her face. Several of her backup dancers don't know what to do. I was severally unimpressed.

short and shaky
2007-03-06 - I liked this workout video but I thought that it was too short- only 30 minutes to the whole video. The filming was poor quality and they had weird shots to the other dancers that cut away from actually learning the routine. MaDonna Grimes was great though.

This DVD needs some editing.
2007-01-15 - This DVD is part of a series of four dance workouts by Ms. Grimes. As a big fan of hers, I bought the series and an extra copy of Hip Hop Moves. Even though she teaches some really hot moves with her usual warm and enthusiastic way, this DVD needs some serious editing. There are so many accompanying dancers that they get cut off by the camera lens. As a result, it also detracts attention from Ms. Grimes' teachings.
I don't know if other customers have received stained copies, but both the extra copy and the copy that came with the boxed set has a shaky and blurry picture. I welcome fellow customer comments.
