Movie Reviews of You Got Served - Take It to the Streets (Dance Instructional)

Movie Review: MUCH better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars

After reading the reviews I thought the DVD was going to be horrible, but it's actually pretty good, and so far one of the best instructional hip-hop videos I've seen (I own a Groovaloos DVD and Tina Landon DVD and have used Darrin's Dance Grooves), and the instruction is also better than some teachers I've taken classes from.

In general, nothing beats actually having a good teacher and choreographer so they can critique your form and technique. However, I very happy that the instructor, Dave Scott, DID give some tips on technique instead of only showing moves to copy. (The fundamentals section is too short, but pretty good). I only wish he gave more tips on technique.

He also breaks down routines at different tempos (which most instructional videos do not do), and this is essential! I think it's important to get the fundamental moves right at a slower tempo first, rather than rushing through the movements just to get through the song.

He does turn around from the camera a few times so you can follow the moves without confusing your left and right, but I wish he did that more.

The only main problem I had is that there are only two real routines you can learn, and that's it's not very "Take it to the Streets" oriented. No breakdancing instruction, really, or street dancing tips. So if you want to improve your breakdancing, this isn't the best DVD to buy.

Overall, it's a good DVD for the price and I would highly recommend for intermediate to advanced dancers looking to expand creative moves, improve their ticking/waving, and get ideas for choreography. For beginners, it would still be a good investment but will be fairly difficult. I would suggest that instead of matching the moves, it might be good to just mirror the instructor so you can at least get used to moving your body in certain ways.
