The production values are not that great and it seems very impersonal. Moves very slow by showing 2 or 3 or 4 angles of the same routine before moving on to the next section. I just can't really relate very well to this tape and I wish I'd sent it back. I might go back to it to learn a few new steps, but I just don't look forward to learning from it.

I agree with the other review-----wish I had sent mine back too. I love the first part --- watching him dance with a few students, and the routine they do is very good, but as it goes into Charles teaching the steps, forget it! You watch him from the back, and he makes it so complicated. I tried several times, then just got frustrated, and I am not a beginner in tap! He MUST be better in a live class, because the tape was a waste of money for me. Sorry! I wanted to like it, and learn from him.

I started the video as a beginner and could barely keep up without having to rewind and play in slow motion dozens of times. But after keeping up with my own lessons I eventually learned the routine. It was definately difficult but once learned you feel as if you have accomplished something. The photographer isn't the best but you get used to it.
