Summary: EDITORIAL REVIEW FROM BOOKLIST MAGAZINE
Review: BOOKLIST MAGAZINE JANUARY 2004 ISSUE- BOOKLIST IS ONE OF THE TOP 3 LIBRARY MAGAZINES IN AMERICA
Tap with Ginger. Golden Treasures. 2003. 4hr. DVD $44.95 A competent tap dance teacher shows wannabes various dance steps while voice over narration (spoken in a slight European accent) explains techniques and movements. The instructor stands on a raised dance floor, initially facing viewers before turning her back so the camera can record her foot movements. The steps are repeated four times and the beat is counted out. Music accompanies the fourth repeat. Viewers can choose beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels with 15 steps included in each. Shuffles, flaps, slides, paddle rolls, trills, rolling steps, riffs, and pull-backs are among the demonstrated steps. The DVD also features a tap dance dictionary and review lessons. This no frills, well-executed instructional is suggested for dancers at all levels. --Nancy McCray
