In these three tapes, tap artist Ginger De Paris adheres to the concept "practice makes perfect."  First, each step is demonstrated to music, often accompanied by an explanation of its use or origin. Next it is shown in close-ups of the feet (or full body if appropriate) from the back, as Ginger first calls the footwork, then counts the beats.  Finally the viewer can follow along with several reviews to music. In most cases, little rewinding is necessary.

The footwork close-ups are packed with the visual and rhythmic information that can be more difficult to pick up during dance class. This is an excellent reasonably priced introduction to tap. Recommended for public libraries and dance collections. Recommended.-Deborah V Rollins, Univ. of Maine
