Movie Reviews of Bob Rizzo: Hip Hop Fuzion with Gregg Russell
Movie Review: Gregg is witty, funny & uses great analogies & really breaks it down
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised playing this. Gregg is very funny, silly & seems like a great guy to hang with.
The production values are decent, you can hear him clearly, the room? has the back wall? a covered light fabric & he doesn't move around much. It's a single camera & he mostly faces you sideways which is great.
He gets right to the point & the warm up is teaching you how to walk & basic bounces & hip hop body wave.
He goes straight to break dancing moves like the old 80s drop beat, 6 step (classic break dancing on the ground), Alpha, and the Glide (moonwalk style moving kinda in a square) that Usher used on his video.
Gregg uses great analogies.. such as for the body wave, you use your hands to guide the wave & says, "Be very afraid of your hands...." When he gets low on the ground he says "Keep your booty off the oor-tay" For the Alpha, you drop back on your hands & feet & reminds you to keep your elbows bent, "Because you look stiff & you'll be walking around like this *impression of Frankenstein* & everyone will ask you 'what happened?' & you'll have to say, 'nothing...'" I'm trying to capture his humor the best my memory will allow. You will not get bored & he doesn't force the jokes. Even teaching the 6 step, he first tells you to do the ballet padavouree? which is step back, step side step back... & shows you normal standing, then kinda in a circle, then has you drop down & do it slow on the floor then slowly speed it up. He's very patient, doesn't rush it, does everything slowly & slowly speeds it up to normal tempo.
There are so few dance instructors who have videos like him. They should all take a cue from him.
As one female reviewer said, as far as I could tell, yes, this is mostly male dancing steps, but sure some female dancers can put their own spin/style into some of the old school moves. Another said it was mostly break dancing & the beginning is, but not some of the end stuff. J. Arva's & Dancer 2's 2004 review is very accurate along with Fineliving style's 2006 review.
In the credits he's dancing & lotta old 90s stuff, I think even a Rerun "what's happening now" moves & some basic pop & locks w/ a hip hop sustained handstand thrown in.
