The Souls of Your Feet: A Tap Dance Guidebook for Rhythm Explorers
"Acia Gray has compiled and documented so much of the tap dance nomenclature in THE SOULS OF YOUR FEET that is should now be clear to everyone that this artform is so deep it takes a lifetime to master and yet we're still not finished inventing it.  The  teacher, the scholar and the dancer in search of identification and clarification of tap terms and basic rhythm structures will find Ms. Gray's vast and inclusive guide a very helpful resource."  --BRENDA BUFALINO, THE AMERICAN TAP DANCE ORCHESTRA, NEW YORK CITY"Acia Gray's THE SOULS OF YOUR FEET offers valuable information guaranteed to build your skills.  Her refreshing point of view will no doubt help you find the thrill of tap from your head down to your toes.  A delightful addition to any dancer's library." --LYNN DALLY, THE JAZZ TAP ENSEMBLE, LOS ANGELES"Artists constantly seek, and sometimes find.  Acia has taken the time to discover.
