Movie Reviews of Darrin's Dance Grooves
Movie Review: Not as bad as you think
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not sure what the previous viewer was seeing, but here's the breakdown for Darrin's routines:
* [optionally] Show routine at full speed, so you get hyped.
* Break it down, 8 counts at a time
-- repeat each 8-count once before moving to the next
* Run the whole routine slowly, as a series of 8-counts
* Run the whole routine at full speed, with music
There isn't a lot of technical commentary (especially on how to make the hip-hop look authentic), most likely because this isn't necessarily hip-hop dancing. It's a faithful reproduction of the dancing from those music videos you saw, taught by the choreographer himself. There's pretty much just one camera angle during instruction, which has you facing the instructor, but the moves are simple enough (and Darrin makes helpful comments) that you should be able to tell what's going on without too much trouble.
If you wanted to learn Britney's, N'Sync's, or Jordan Knight's dance numbers, the latter of which is fairly long, then this is right up your alley. The DVD includes several interviews with Darrin, and there are also some bonus routines that are fairly easy to learn. Although the featured music videos are somewhat dated now, this is a solid purchase for under $10.
