It has been professionally reproduced on a DVD-R disc. Judy Ann Bassing presents a tap class to selections from the album, "Tap With A Twist". This visual demonstration begins with a combination of shuffle exercises which follow the exact rhythm patterns of the music. A complete combination is performed by Judy at the end. This video is a perfect example of how to use this music to teach tap dance. One of Judy Ann Bassing's top students demonstrates how basic tap exercises can become complex & advanced. Each exercise uses several steps showing many variations of each movement. "Rhythm Patterns" demonstrates how the same basic steps are danced with a variety of different rhythms. "Five To Four" shows how to tap dance to a constantly changing count per measure "Never Moody Judy" offers Ms. Bassing dancing a complete combination, and "Crazy Rhythm" is a wild progression of turns and fast foot-work. This is an advanced tap class for students needing a challenge.
