Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the... Learn More

Back in the 1950's when I was a youngster, I admired the way in which tap dancers made their steps seem effortless. My dream was to take tap dancing lessons, with real dancing shoes. However, since my parents were unable to afford lessons nor to buy tap shoes, I tried to copy the steps that I had seen on T.V.. However, leather-soled shoes on a wooden floor do not produce an authentic sound.
A few weeks ago, while shopping for shoes in a popular chain store, I saw a sign that stated that if you buy one pair you get 50% off the price of a second pair of shoes. Since I had already selected the first pair, I wanted to find a second pair. Much to my amazement, they had a section of tap dance shoes! Most were in children's sizes. Then I spotted a pair in MY size. When I... More Info About This DVD Director(s): Chris Reilly DVD Release Date: Released the 01 September 2003 Usually ships in 24 hours

I started dancing about 6 months ago. I was really excited about the dance. It is fun and energetic! Well, I had to move and could no longer take the local swing classes I was attending. So, I bought this tape. Just comparing them to the professional swing dancers at a swing camp I went to in California, their knowledge was minimal and sloppy. Overall, I was disappointed with the video. I did though find videos later that the professional at that camps made. They were wonderful. Overall, if your looking for a tape that teaches you a style that is good for dancing to very RETRO music and you are NOT expecting to make swing dancing a long-term hobby, I recommend this video. But, if you want to dance to the good ole big band music and lindy like they did in the 40's, I recommend a different...

I remember Ginger of Paris from her tap tapes and her swing DVD is every bit as good. The instructions are clear as a bell; the music is dazzling; and even if you've got two left feet (which I do), I guarantee you'll get in the swing of things by the time you're finished. It gives new meaning to that old song, "Swing on a Star."

A competent tap dance teacher shows wannabes various dance steps while voice over narration (spoken in a slight European accent) explains techniques and movements.
