5.0 out of 5 stars Almost as good as the real thing!, 29 May 2007
Having attended Derek's classes, I was interested to see how the book measured up. There is an impressive and interesting background to all aspects of Tap, with easy-to-follow exercises. The style of writing is natural, relaxed and encouraging. You can't beat one of Derek's classes, but for those thinking about giving Tap a go, or as a reference guide, this is an excellent book.

4.0 out of 5 stars No substitute for classes- but an excellent book, 3 Jan 2008
By D. Standing - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Learning tap just by reading about it in a book is really hard. But Derek's book makes it worth having a go!

Definitely worth buying if you're interested in starting to learn tap. There is useful information on tap shoes, for example, that I wish I'd known before buying my first pair!

The chatty style and anecdotes are very 'Derek' and really help to keep you motivated. The descriptions of the steps are very clear and act as a useful reminder if you've just started to learn a particular step. The later chapters giving instructions for complete routines are harder to follow but are worth persevering with.

This book comes well recommended- by me anyway!
