Tap Dancing: Rhythm in Their Feet explores a fascinating form of dance.

Topics include the history and development of tap dancing; floors, shoes, and costumes; music, rhythm, and choreography; traditional steps and time steps; planning classes and exercises; sequences and routines; and improvisation and developing personal style.
