Movie Reviews of Dance Fitness for Beginners with MaDonna Grimes: Urban Street Heat

Movie Review: Nice for an out of shape ex-dancer
Summary: 5 Stars

I had quite a bit of dance training as a child and teen, but haven't really danced for 20 years. Also, I'm a complete beginner at hip-hop, but wanted to learn a little just for fun. And it's not like I can't walk around the block, but I'd say I'm a low level of cardio fitness. So this video is absolutely perfect for me right now. I did have to rewind a couple times on my first viewing, and I didn't quite get all the arm and head moves down the first time. But I'm sure in a few sessions I'll be doing the moves with some attitude. It's probably going to get a little boring after a while, but I'll try and extend the fun period by mixing it up with other videos and activities. At some point it is probably going to get too easy to be a good workout, but that will be a while.

She doesn't really break down the individual motions for you technique-wise, but they are pretty easy to pick up on. The instructor is a lot of fun, too.

The only way this could be better is if there were several different workouts on the disc, or maybe options to extend the combination longer. You're not getting a ton of content for your money. But I'm happy with the purchase -- because I just wanted something not too intense and fun, for rainy days and to mix up my workout.

One more thing - I consider some of the stretches questionable and dicey at best. I would never, for instance, use my hand to pull my neck into a stretch like she shows. Be careful with these and modify them if you need to. I substitute different stretches as needed.
