Eddie Brown's B.S. CHORUS
Produced by Rusty Frank, this two-chorus
tap dance was created by Eddie Brown in the 1980s at the
urging of his devoted student following. Eddie Brown called his
style "Scientific Rhythm", and once you get started with this dance,
you'll understand why. This dance is pure perfection, but no easy matter.
Therefore, we have hand-picked tap master Sam Weber to teach and break
down this dance, and he does so with great clarity and insight.Mini Reviews:
Rusty, The Eddie Brown DVD
is fantastic. Yet another great gift you've given tap dancers.
Bravo! -Best, Brian Seibert, Dance Critic The New Yorker and
the Village Voice."This is one of the Best Instructional Tap tapes (read=DVD) that I've ever seen. Well-taught, well-lit, great music, well-organized. Eddie Brown is a Legend and the Eddie Brown Choruses are a Must Have. Highly recommend. A+++++" -Zelde Malevitz
