Editorial Reviews

On one DVD you can learn the national versions of the 22 most popular line dances to date based on a nationwide survey. These classic dances are timeless. This comprehensive guide show you how to perform beginning, intermediate and advanced line dances so you can look good and feel confident on the dance floor! Taught by America’s most popular and respected dance instructor, Christy Lane, you will learn the Electric Slide, Boot Scootin’ Boogie, Tush Push, Wild Wild West, Watermelon Crawl, Elvira, Achy Break, Louie, Cowboy Boogie, Flying Eight, Cowboy Cha-Cha, Freeze, Black Velvet, Tennessee Twister, Slappin’ Leather, Tumbleweed, Ghostbusters, Alley Cat, Walkin’ Wazie, Cowboy Motion, Waltz Across Texas and Hip Hop. At the beginning of the DVD there is a terminology section that will show you all the basics such as the "grapevine", "scoot", "kick ball change", etc. to get you started. The beginning dances are taught slowly with Christy’s back towards the camera and then she teaches at a faster pace as the DVD progresses to the intermediate and advanced line dances. An hour long, you won’t see another DVD with all these dances on one tape! Recommended for teens through adults and teachers. Look for the Party CD that accompanies this DVD on Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Christy's Line Dancing with Ease, September 9, 2003

By 

Sharon Stevens (Victoria, TX, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christy Lane's Complete Guide to Line Dancing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have used this video to intoduce my elementary students to basic line dance steps. Christy has a wonderful way of teaching in a fun, yet understandable manner. My upper elementary students were able to catch on to the steps without frustration, unlike other line dance videos I've used. Christy breaks down the harder steps into small segments so that it doesn't overwhelm the new learner. If you want to learn a variety of line dances with ease, this is the video to purchase. Christy also comes to the Texas Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Convention each year and attracts a huge crowd that is eager to learn her old favorites, as well as the latest dance moves. If you have the opportunity to see her in person, she will inspire you to attempt any style of dance. She has many other wonderful videos that I have also used. I have never been dissatisfied with any of her products.

5.0 out of 5 stars My hat's off to Christy Lane!!, April 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Christy Lane's Complete Guide to Line Dancing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My hat is off to Christy Lane for producing this great dance video! Finally a tape where the instructor puts her back to the camera so I don't have to turn my head 180 degrees to learn the steps. I bought this video because most line dance videos only have about 5 dances and this one has 22 so I definitely got my moneys worth. Christy did a great job in the terminology section breaking each step down so when I got to the intermediate and advanced line dances, I was able to breeze through them. This video was a great resource for all the #1 classic line dances that hit big. I highly recommend it - take it from a real Texan!

2.0 out of 5 stars Rev up your Rewind Button, August 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Christy Lane's Complete Guide to Line Dancing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sheesh, I never had to hit rewind so many times in my life!!!! If I'm buying this Old Dance video at a very high price, it's obvious that I'm a severe beginner in this style of dance, at a late state... Reviewing the terminology was good and the first few dances it was broken down nicely. She takes each pattern one at a time and starts from the beginning of the dance after each,,, but... once you pass the third dance it's like... Oh gee, let me show you this while I dance it. No more breaking down, no more start from the beginning for each pattern it's like... oh watch me ... this is it ok let's do it to music. And the music, by the way ... ewwww, but ok there might be some copyright issues in putting the actual songs on the tape, but then again... at..., you'd think you were already paying royalties. I'd do the same if I just went to a club and watched them dance it and tried to jump in on the second way around.... I'm very disappointed.
