Even though I have had approx. 6 months of tap dancing class so I know many of the basic steps, I found this book and CD difficult to use. I believe the author is not very successful at describing how to tap dance using words. I think that beginners would really struggle to understand what they are supposed to be doing.

I found the wording a little difficult to follow especially the instructions under 05 with the circles etc. It is a good book but NOT the sort of Basic book I was expecting.IO will try to persevere but I am not finding it as simple as the author says it is as the instructions are not really clear.Paul D.

Who ever needs some help in tap, this is an ideal book to do so. The video could be better
