 All the right movesMar 14, 2005
By Stacy Campbell
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.

Best instructor since Gregory Hines, for all level studentsOct 29, 2004

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.

Desperate tap wivesMar 16, 2005
By Giannella

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!

Intermediate Dancer Likes This SeriesMay 02, 2006
By Woman_MN

I took tap lessons from the second grade through my sophomore year of high school, and I am now a 42-year-old homemaker. When I decided to get back into tap, I struggled with choosing a dvd which would not be too easy and would not be beyond my ability. I put Ginger's dvd in for the first time today and started with the intermediate level. It was great fun. Since I am rusty, I found the intermediate level a little challenging but still very do-able. While Ginger does repeat each step or combination several times, she moves it along and does not put me to sleep. I believe I will be able to master the intermediate level after two to four more viewings. I hope then to use the intermediate level as a warm-up (since it certainly will not bore me and will be great practice for clarity of sound), and I hope improve my skills with the advanced level. Contrary to what some of the other reviews say, Ginger does not have a "funny" accent; she has a lovely French accent. She is a skilled tap dancer/hoofer, and she is very pleasant to watch.

Ginger is greatSep 07, 2005
By Aunica Brimhall
I really like to "tap with Ginger". She has a funny accent but is pleasant to watch and easy to follow. There is a lot of variety on the DVD. It is harder than I expected. I have taken 2 years of tap dance before buying the DVD. I thought I could start with the intermediate but found the beginning level challenging enough. After a month of dancing with Ginger I have started the intermediate level.
