Editorial review from Booklist
This is an excellent beginner tape for tap enthusiasts. Ginger teaches 15 different basic steps such as Shuffle, Flaps, Cramp Roll, Clap Step, Comic Slide, The famous Shim Sham Routine, Broadway Time Step, Rhythm Time Step, Time Step Slide, Turning Time Step, Basic Roll and Essence.
Put your shoes on and have fun learning Tap with this close up and full body from the back shots. Every step is repeated 4 times and then reviewed 3 times with music. The Tap dictionary defining common steps appears at the end of the tape, is an added useful tool as well as reviews after each set of five steps. Highly recommended program for librairies and dance collections.

excellent reasonably priced introduction to tap
Review from Library Journal:

" In this beginner, intermediate &advanced tap dance videos, Tap artist adheres to the concept" practice makes perfect". First each step is demonstrated to music, often accompagnied by an explanation of its use or origin. Next, it is shown in close-ups of the feet from the back as Ginger first calls the footwork, then counts the beats. In most cases little rewinding is necessary. Each of the 3 tapes contains 15 steps. A tap dictionary defines common terms appear at the end of each tape. The footwork close-ups are packed with the visual & rhythmic information that can be more difficult to pick up during dance classes. This is an excellent reasonably priced introduction to tap. Highly recommended"

Absolutely Great For Beginners
Having only had a few months of tap dancing lessons, I felt I needed " extra tutelage" and found that Tap with Ginger. Beginner Vol.1 a fun and easy way to learn to tap. With Ginger as your personal instructor you can just practice with her without constantly rewinding. Steps are very easy to follow and understand. With this video tape you don't need any other beginner tap videos. I can't wait to get Tap with Ginger Intermediate Vol. 2.

Great for Fun & Ideal for Exercise
If exercise isn't fun, you won't do it This video makes you forget that you are exercising because you are so busy enjoying the process. Highly recommended!

Not very practical. Some use, still.
The video is a little confusing. While the tap steps can be both heard and seen the demonstrations are a bit unclear. To a beginner it might be even misleading. To a little advanced students there are some help to clarify a tap mystery (terms and steps). However, cannot be recommended to an absolute beginner because the video might be misleading and even teach bad habits to tap. To others, please be careful and ask a demo watch from your dealer before buying. Also be ready to compare different kind of tap tapes if possible. Sure good points are a Tap Glossary and printed Tap Steps in the end of the tape.
