Product Review

The newest release from the top-selling instructional tap dance DVD series features some of the most famous steps from the soft-shoe style of tap dancing, danced to a swinging big-band soundtrack. Characterized by a laid-back style and leisurely tempos, Soft-Shoe was originally danced with soft-soled shoes. Nowadays, Soft-Shoe is often danced with tap shoes, but using soft-soled shoes with this video is fine, as well!

Shuffle Warmup
Basic Essence Essence with Flaps
Brush-Step Exercise
Tap-walk / Drawback Exercise
Carry-back / Waltz Clog Exercise
