Vol. 1, The Basics
Written by Wendy Garofoli
The Basics is the first in a series of four books about Hip-Hop dancing. It goes over how to get started, with the history of Hip-Hop, and explanations of important things like the music and dress. Then you are taken through each step for several basic moves. Easy to follow pictures and tips are included to help you. Each move is graded with one to three stars to show difficulty. This book is a great addition to any nonfiction library.
