This DVD features some of the most famous steps from the "soft-shoe" style, 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!
While Eli Newsom's DVDs are great for dancers and non-dancers alike, users of this DVD should at least be familiar with basic tap dance technique, which you can learn in Volumes 1-3 of his series, or in a live tap class.
Eli Newsom is the creator and instructor of the Tap Dance Made Easy DVD Series and Video PodClass. He has taught in New York City and San Francisco and has studied with some of the best tap instructors in the world. He specializes in teaching beginnings with no previous experience, as well as dancers of all levels who want to improve their rhythms and technique.
