 Wow...What's all the hype about!?Feb 12, 2007
By Just another girl...
Not Impressed, not even a little bit. I was so excited when I got this in the mail....BUT, very very disappointed after viewing it. I completely mis-understood the purpose of this DVD. I thought it was more focused towards teaching Dancehall style moves. I don't find it the least bit instructional in any way. It looks like some sort of strange aerobics on the beach. I can honestly say I have never seen anyone doing any of these dance moves in any of the clubs within 100 miles of where I live (near DC). Most of the dances are shown in 1 or 2 minute clips. The majority of the DVD is documentary and interviews. (and kinda hard to understand what they are saying)
Sorry for the bad review, but, I don't want anyone else to have the same fabulous expectation of instruction and then be disappointed by this cheaply made disc. (seriously, it is cheap)

 Good dancers, boring moves, can't understand the accentJul 27, 2007
By Touch Remedy
"TouchRemedy"
I agree with "Just Another Girl's" 2/2007 review
It was hard to hear them, most of it was a documentary, though you can watch only the dance part. It takes place on a beach with a DJ, the titles block the feet & the dances were all boring to see though obviously easy to do. The moves are: "part the crowd", "swing song", "nature dances". "step away", "air force one", "and one", "Santa Bounce, "Badda Dance."
If you want more complicated dance moves & better teaching, try "How Fi Dance Reggae" it blows this one away.
You can see clips of this on youtube & the other title as well.

By L. Campbell
"Loves Music"
Before this DVD I was always the one standing against the wall at parties singing the songs but now I am actually the one dancing! True testiment this will help you learn how to dance reggae. It has taught me soo much about not only the dance but the culture of Jamaica. 5 stars a must see.
