Movie Reviews of Street Fusion - Street Jazz & Hip Hop Dance with Karen Gayle
Movie Review: Good hip hop dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
So this is the same Karen Gayle that did the set of Deante Dance dvds that I did not like, at all. Here she is the real Karen Gayle, not a watered down version of herself. I'm not really a hip hop person but the moves look funky, the music is good and the energy is high. Here's what you can expect.
Setting: Sound stage with a curtain in the back. 4-5 dancers with Karen out front, all dressed in hip hop attire.
Music: Hip hop instrumental. Like I said I'm not a hip hop music fan, I just bought the dvd for variety in my exercise routine.
DVD Layout: The entire running time on the dvd is 120 minutes. It says on the world dance website that it is 60 minutes. The dvd has a 20 minute warm-up, starting with stretching, isolations from head to waist; foot work and rhythm work. Good section. Next you can choose from 3 routines, Beginning, Intermediate and advanced. Each section has a learn the steps and performance sections. The beginners routine is repeated 2x at the end. The intermediate rountine is repeated 3 times at the end and the advanced routine is repeated 4x. At the end of the dvd is a section called performance where it goes from one routine to the next. There is no cool down.
The first routine is simple. The second routine is a mix of smooth moves and hit it moves. The third routine is like you would see on P. Diddy's Making the Band show, or on So you think you can dance on Fox.
I have not done the class yet so I don't know if learning the steps will be easy. Hip hop is not really my thing so it will be interesting to see how much I pick up when I do it. Karen is very patient and goes over the steps over and over again AND there is always the rewind button. Once I do it I'll let you know more. UPDATE: I am returning the dvd as hip hop is not really my thing. I thought the moves would be more jazzy. Not to say it's not a good dvd, it is just not my cup of tea. A little too young for me. Hopefully Karen Gayle will come out with an intermediate modern dance dvd. She would be very good at it.
