Fitness Videos - Dance Videos -- Hip Hop?

For those of you out there with extensive collections...

I'm envisioning a dance video that does hip hop moves. I figure that it will be a lot of fun for me, and I'm looking for something new.

Any recomendations?

I'm wondering if Zumba would fit this? I've been meaning to try this out - I never have but it seems that when it first came out, that was what it was considered - hip hop.

I'm doing Turbo Jam and absolutely LOVE it - it's more dancy but I wouldn't say hip hop. ??? Course, maybe it's my age (35) - I've never hip hopped. LOL

I got one you'd like. It's one of the Crunch series called Cardio Dance Blast. It's a whole group of women dancing in club wear (jeans, camo, etc) and you do I think 6 different series so you get a variety with enough repitition to learn it. The instructors great too.

Rachelle - Actually I've bnever done 'hip hop' before, either! I used to do Ballroom dance and since have gotten into the LIndy Hop (SWING!), blues, and argentine tango.
But I see so much fusion between the non-ballroom-strict-competition dances (like blues and tango!) that I think adding some hip-hop to my repetoire is a good idea.
I will see if I can find some "Zumba" reviews, I've never heard of it.

stacylambert - Thanks! This sounds like just what I'm looking for. Do you know if I can pick up the crunch series in a target-type store, or should I look for it online?

There is a workout called Girlz Gone HipHop -- I haven't tried it. It's fairly new and I may get it one of these days. There is a QuickFix workout called Cardio HipHop. It has 3 10-minute hip-hop workouts. I enjoy that one and will use them to add-on to short workouts. There is also Crunch Cardio Dance Blast. It has a hip-hop section as well as a Latin and disco section. It is a 40 minute workout and is lots of fun.

I got mine at Best Buy and I've seen it at Wal Mart before. Check before you buy online, shipping sucks!

Quick Fix Hip Hop is fun. Four 10 minute segments that move at the right pace. I prefer to do 2 or 3 at once :)

I would think TJ's or Yoga Booty Ballet would fit the bill. HEre s a link to each of the systems.

Ah, Zumba. Last winter :carrot: Me and my aunt had a "fitness goal" to do Zumba once a day...needless to say, didn't last long. Very cardio-based, though, the moves were hilarious and fun to do, also. But it got boring after a while (after maybe a month).
