Learn the Dances of the 80's

Did you somehow manage to escape the 1980's without learning to breakdance? No problem. Here's your second chance. Dance instructor Christy Lane takes viewers on a whirlwind tour of the hit dances of the funky 80's: the Running Man, Robo Cop, Pac Man, Moonwalk, Roger Rabbit, Cabbage Patch, and more. On top of that, you'll learn Poppin', Wavin', Lockin', and Tickin', and--if you survive these--you'll no doubt very quickly graduate to Soakin' those tired muscles in an epsom salt bath. As usual, Lane's instruction is enthusiastic, assured, and easy to follow (she even turns her back to the camera to demonstrate some moves.) Along with the other two volumes available in the series--Christy Lane's Learn the Dances of the 70's and Christy Lane's Learn the Dances of the 50's and 60's--this series will provide your happy-footed patrons with a pretty decent cultural encyclopedia of popular dance moves over the last half century. Highly recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (R. Pitman)
