You will be dancing the Slow Dance, Waltz, Swing, Salsa, Two-Step, Cha-Cha, Hustle, and West Coast Swing in a matter of minutes. Also referred to as the Ultimate Couples Dancing Instruction Video for Beginners, Dance Lessons 101 was designed and developed with the end-user in mind. Customer feedback received from Shawn Trautmans acclaimed DVD, the Couples Ultimate Dance Sampler, was the key to developing such a user-friendly and easy-to-follow curriculum.

Dance Lessons 101 includes nearly two hours of instruction, picture-in-picture technology, HD filming for optimum clarity, and multiple camera angles to ensure that you, the student, get the best view. Each step and move is taught for both the leader and the follower as well as together, allowing you the option of learning with or without a dance partner. Also, menu selections in the DVD provide you with options of going from one dance to another without hassle.
Your instructors, Shawn and Joanna Trautman, will have you dancing in a matter of minutes! Owning this DVD is the equivalent of having your own private instruction at home for a fraction of the cost.

Nicely done, - for beginners you'll learn the basic step of each dance, Shawn & his partner break down the step into its parts in a easy-to-follow format - for advanced beginners, it's a good refresher DVD.
I'm a single male with 1 year's ballroom & Latin lessons under my belt. I use the DVD for practice without a partner before going out to dance.

This DVD isn't intimidating, and it basically puts a world-renowned dance teacher in your living room. I actually think it's better than an in-person lesson because you're able to see the steps from every angle. By the end of the lesson, I was so excited that I had learned the steps - it's almost as if I internalized them.

Shawn Trautman (a coach of World Champion dancers) presents Dance Lessons 101, a DVD introduction to eight of the most popular social dances: Slow Dance, Waltz, Swing, Salsa, Two-Step, Cha-Cha, Hustle, and West Coast Swing. Enabling viewers of all backgrounds and experience levels to learn dance basics with or without a partner, Dance Lessons 101 is ideal for preparing for weddings or cruises, or simply trying out something new to stay fit. The infectiously upbeat attitude and user-friendly instructions effectively make Dance Lessons 101 a top-of-the-line private classroom. Highly recommended. 2 hours, color.

Basically an infomercial
This video is a big tease to get you to buy their other more complete videos. You are forced to watch the first 2 minute introduction each time you start the DVD. Read more

Dance Lessons 101: The Basics and Beyond
Terrible product! Threw it in the trash can. The dance steps were for a child at best. Total CRAP of a DVD.

Long on talk, short on dancing
We expected to see a lot more demonstration and a lot less talk. Plus, when the dancers actually move to music, they lack enthusiasm. Read more
