All You'll Ever Need!Nov 18, 2008
By MeliZoops

Eli Newsom's Tap Dance Made Easy is simply awesome! I studied tap for 10 years in my youth, but hadn't used it in years...Tap Dance Made Easy not only refreshed my memory, but taught me more detail about each step than I ever knew, making my technique better than it was in my prime! The Level 1 DVD is great for getting a solid foundation with Tap itself and for learning the basic steps. I use the Level 2 DVD to practice the more complicated (and impressive) steps that require enhanced footwork - it also contains realistic dance combinations, putting all the steps together as one would in a performance or an audition.
Before I found Tap Dance Made Easy, I tried other instructional DVD's and didn't find them to be as effective. One thing that is so helpful with Tap Dance Made Easy is the split-screen view of the instructor. One view shows him doing the steps with his back to the camera - like you're in a real dance class! The other view is a close-up on his feet from the side, allowing you to learn more detail about how each step is done and how each sound is made. Another great characteristic of this DVD set is that each step is broken into its own chapter on the DVD making it easy to skip around the disc and focus on the steps you want to practice, without having to fast-forward through a lot of video.
I heard that Eli Newsom is going to release a Tap Dance Made Easy - Level 3 soon and that it will be a "Time Step Bootcamp"! I can't wait for this!
I highly recommend this disc and this series. Whether you are like me and want to brush up on skills and keep them sharp, or if you are a total beginner who wants to see if you enjoy Tap Dance before investing in live classes, then the Tap Dance Made Easy series is the way to go!

Very nicely doneSep 05, 2008

I purchased Tap Dance Made Easy Level 2 for my 12-year-old daughter's birthday. She and a younger sister have been taking tap dancing classes at a local dance studio and found this DVD great for clarifying what they thought they knew. The split-screen view, showing a full body on one side and the close-up of his feet from another angle, helps the viewer see what's really going on. My daughter said I should mention that the tips are very helpful. We liked that the look is contemporary, no straw hats or canes.

Wonderful for tappers of all agesDec 05, 2007
By J. M. Piedrafita
I got the DVD from the official site and it's very good indeed, I started to tap with the first volume and it's has been a lot of fun. I'm 38 years old. Together with the DVDs you have two booklets explaining the steps. You will find them on the official site. They explain the steps in a very clear way and they are fun to read.
Eli, congratulation for the good job. Can't wait for the 3rd volume.

Great DVDAug 12, 2011

This is my second purchase in the series. I purchased Level 1 before taking a tap class and found it really helped my understanding and progression in the class. I am a true beginner, never having taken a tap class prior to using this DVD series. Level 2 is a great teaching DVD as well and better than a live class because you can go at your own pace. It is easy to follow and understand. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in tap!
