The use of TAURUS 2, a Fabry-Perot imaging spectrograph, for the study of the kinematics and the dynamics of giant extragalactic HII regions in nearby galaxies is discussed. The technical aspects of the instrument, together with the procedures adopted for data analysis and reduction, and some of the first scientific results of our programme are also presented.
