I borrowed this from the library, and after a half an hour of browsing, I went to amazon.com to place an order. Fantastic quality, clear instructions.
More than you could expect!
An experienced dancer and gymnast, I believe this video provides enough to learn moves and style to go from beginner to a good competent break dancer. I was shocked at the quality of instruction. I believe that I would have to travel far in order to find such explicit and useful directions. I will encourage the Break Dance teachers at the local YMCA to use this as an educational tool. My six year old is an up and coming Breaker and there is enough stuff on these DVDs to keep him busy for at least a few years. Thank you to the instructors and producers of this amazing video.

The videos and instructions couldn't be clearer. Great for any beginner or someone who wants to work on harder moves. If you have not bought this DVD yet, you got ripped off.
If you enjoyed the dancing in You Got Served and wondered how they did those moves, this 54-minute dance instruction DVD will give you a hint. Choreographer Dave Scott leads a group of dancers in three routines. He breaks down each move slowly, then combines several and speeds them up. Each pattern uses complex footwork, armwork, and body isolations, and unless you're an experienced dancer, you'll need to stop and reverse frequently to practice and memorize. "You've got to listen to the music and hit everything in the pocket," he says, referring to the rhythmic challenges. And if you discover that the routines are too advanced for you, you can enjoy sitting back and watching the process of dancers learning a routine. Additional features include technique instruction (ticking,... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Billy Pollina DVD Release Date: Released the 29 June 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

This is a goo DVD, I enjoyed following along. They showed locking, pointing, wrist rolls, b-balling (breakdancing), Apache, Charly-Rock (Hip Hop of Charston) & the Shuffle.
They show off in the beginning & groove a bit between showing you a new step, but not too long. They show you first with each person doing it with their own flavor, then they show you the basic simple step slowly several times, facing you, side view & back view & then normal speed with all 4 views again. At the end of teaching the above mentioned steps, they teach you a full short routine with him teaching slowly like above. He doesn't count or tell you where to move everything, but since he's going slow at diff angles several times & gives a few cues, you should have no problem getting the hang of it.

The subtitle couldn't be more accurate: A History of the B-Boy is a comprehensive look at the world's "freshest kids." This lively documentary isn't about hip-hop or hip-hop culture as much as about an integral part of that culture. B-boys are defined, variously, as "breakboys" (the original term) and "breakdancers" (the more widely known one). These "kids," many now in their 30s, helped to shape hip-hop's look and spread its gospel. The narrative traces their evolution from the South Bronx 1970s to media-crazed 1980s--when they were featured in movies from Wild Style to Flashdance--to today, as the phenomenon has returned to the underground while remaining as popular as ever (as exemplified by footage from Germany, Japan, etc.). The old and new school are on hand to... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Israel DVD Release Date: Released the 08 October 2002 Usually ships in 24 hours
