5.0 out of 5 stars All the right moves, March 14, 2005

This review is from: Tap with Ginger Series: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Levels (DVD)

I used to reserve Ginger's tap workshops at the library because they were easily the best workouts available until I discovered that everybody else had found out the same thing and were reserving them as well. This meant that sometimes I would have to wait weeks to get the tapes and my dancing in the meanwhile was going, quite simply, nowhere. I then decided the best investment would simply be to go ahead and buy them for myself. I couldn't have, literally, made a better move. Besides the fact Ginger is the most adorable woman this side, or any side, of the Atlantic, and a fabulous dancer, her instructions and demonstrations are very clear, so even if you have never put on a pair of tap shoes (which I hadn't), you would be able to follow them all the way from the basic shuffle to a stun-all-your-friends shim-sham. I have now worked up through the Beginner tape to the middle of the Intermediate one and have even peeked ahead to the Advanced One to see if the quality of instruction is the same, and it's quite simply head of the class all the way. If you've ever wanted to be Gene Kelly or Ginger Rogers--or better yet, Ginger of Paris--here's your chance.

EASY TAP LEARNING FOR ALL LEVELS STUDENTS

This DVD is an excellent introduction to Tap.
2 excellent features: The way it is filmed from the back, just like a real tap class, which make it easy to learn and follow along.

Also the 4 repetitions of each step and the additional 3 repetitions with music, this helped me to nail each step, one at a time.

When one of the step seemed challenging, hey, that is part of learning,
I just slowed down the image! I think any DVD player can do it. So I used this function when ever necessary.....
This 4 hour long instructional Tap DVD has given me month's free lessons and enjoyment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Desperate tap wives, March 16, 2005

This review is from: Tap with Ginger Series: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Levels (DVD)

Some friends and I got together and decided dthe only way we'd ever exercise was if we all did it at the same time. We started out with aerobics but it was so boring we decided we'd try tap dancing instead. What a hoot--or should I say, hoof. Ginger is sensational and we've all gotten so good, we're thinking about putting on a show for our husbands!
