| | |  | CHEERLEADING | Home » » » Urban Cheer & Dance DVD | | | | | | | Description: | | Urban Media, introduces its latest breakout product "Urban Cheer and Dance Instructional DVD". This one of a kind instructional Dance DVD, has cross-over appeal fusing cheerleading and dance. Urban Cheer is an age-appropriate hyped-up hybrid of hip hop, cheerleading, break dancing, tumbling and step. The DVD uses the latest techniques and technology in teaching dance on video. The hip hop history, back-views, slow motion, behind the scenes and hip hop rules turn this 60-minute DVD into an interactive dance class that entertains while it educates. The MTV style editing, hip hop fashion and pop-chart music are all strong elements in the DVD, but what is most fascinating is that all of its stars are just ordinary teenagers, who were motivated to do extraordinary things. They were given the tools needed to feel like they could rock the floor and they did. Cheerleaders, dance teams, crews and individuals can all benefit from the "Urban Cheer and Dance Instructional DVD". | | | Features: | |
• Gino Johnson, writer, choreographer, and producer of the DVD explains, "We didn't want to make just a "How-To" Video. Hip hop takes confidence. We wanted to make a DVD that was informative, positive and motivating. Young dancers and cheerleaders need to be motivated to do some of the floor rocking hip hop today. This is for boys and girls who want to show off and look good doing it. Not only do we show the latest dances and steps, we also try to uplift them in the process by providing a better alternative than to the bumping and grinding displayed on some of today's music video networks."

 Very good Dancing and Instructions. High Energy.Oct 16, 2006
By Johanna Soussan
"Johanna Soussan"
This is a very well done DVD that is worth your money. It has the latest moves and awesome hip hop music and beats. The routines are shown in real time, slow motion, front and back and sides. It's executed at a good pace. Not too fast, not too slow, just perfect to learn it while watching it. The teaching is of excellent quality. The names of the steps, like the A-Town stomp and the Chicken Head, the Heel Toe, Freezes and breakdance steps are shown at the bottom of the screen to let you know what they are. This is a good video to show your squad and improve your dancing skills. It is entertaining and of high professional quality. You should have no problem learning it.

 Not for younger squadsJul 19, 2007
By Rachel Snitchler
I bought this DVD due to, I'm having Shoulder surgery in weeks and my cheer squad really needed new material. I coach [...] girls with little to no experience in dance or cheerleading. This product states it can be used for beginners however, to be Very honest my girls had a very difficult time with the dance moves!
The routines are put together well, I'd maybe use it for a older squad with dance exp.

 Not ImpressedJun 04, 2009
By G. Mullins
The ONE routine taught in this DVD is cute but it's not for youth 5-10 squads. There is so much talk and kidding around and hem haw before they actually get to the routine and show you what it looks like. I can't use it and it takes to long to get through all the documentary stuff to the dance stuff....

 It's more of an Urban Dance videoSep 12, 2007
By Dyniecia Cowan
"Proverbs31"
The video has two dance routines. This video was not a help for teaching/learning cheering nor cheer-dancing. It's basic Hip-Hop. And the girls are too young for the skimpy outfits and all the gyrating and shaking going on in the dances. I know I wouldn't want my 14 year old out there like that. Other than that, if you have NO talent for choreography or dance at all, and would like to borrow a routine, this DVD is a good starting point. I purchased "Cheer!". Although very,very basic, you would at least have the basic movements for cheerleading. I've been dancing for over 10 years now. Those of you that have any dance or choreographic skills, "Cheer!" would be the perfect DVD to get you started. From that point on, you can hit the ground running making up your own cheers and dance routines. Urban Cheer and Dance, I could have saved myself some money.

Unrealistic Cheer styleSep 02, 2007
By L. Barnes
"first time mommy"
This would get my cheer squad laughed at. This is a dumbed down interpretation of Hip Hop dance. I had to laugh at this video because it was a huge joke. . .
