What is The Tap Dance Dictionary about?

<p>Tap Steps go by all kinds of names. Some describe the structure of a step ("A, B, C Step") or enumerate its parts ("Shuffle Hop Step"). Some attempt to capture the sounds of the feet ("Thanks for the Buggy Ride"). Some steps are named for the people who invented or popularized them ("Emery Clay Time Step"). And some names are just for fun ("Bombershay," "Perrididdle").. "Hundreds of names are at your finger (and toe) tips in The Tap Dance Dictionary, all fully articulated in standard dance notation. You'll find everything from the well-worn "shave and a haircut" to steps from social dance, folk dance, clogging, Irish step dancing, and eccentric dance, along with terms significant to the history of tap.</p> <h3>Booknews</h3> <p>In standard dance notation, Knowles (choreographer, American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Pasadena) articulates intriguingly, multiply-named steps<-->from "A, B, C Step" to "Zink"<-->derived from folk dance, social dance, clogging, and Irish step dancing, as well as terms and names significant to the history of this unique American dance form (e.g. Fred Astaire's formal tap training in 1919 was among the first).
