I am a beginner learning line dances and I bought this CD to get myself started. The lessons are taught step-by-step and are easy to follow since the instructor shows you a few moves at a time and shows them from different angles. You build on previous moves and before you know it, you're dancing! I have already applied some of the dances at a local club, and I was so proud that I was able to do them! I completely recommend this to anyone, beginner or not, if you want to learn the dances on this CD. I never floundered, never got lost and practiced a few times and had it down pat. The instructor really knows how to teach.

I own many dance instuction tapes and DVD's, but they're all collecting dust. Not, Shawn Trautman's. I have 4 of his now. This is the best instuctor out there. Anyone, and I mean anyone can learn to dance with his DVD's.

I've been looking for a way, other than the treadmill, to get some exercise indoors and I remembered what fun and what great exercise line dancing was. A long time ago I used to go to a country line dancing bar and I had so much fun there. I searched the internet for a Learn to Line Dance DVD and decided to get this one because I knew if I liked it, there were more in the series.

I've gone through the DVD two times now and I feel like I can do the dances to "real" music already. The dances are broken down in a way that make them very easy to learn. You can also get a play list of suggested music on Shawn Trautman's website to practice the dances with.

I do have to admit, I feel a little ridiculous line dancing all by myself in the living room. But who cares, right? Now that I have the play list I'll just turn the music up loud enough so that I won't hear the neighbors laughing at me when they drive by and see me through the windows.

I had fun learning to do these dances. The 10 step is my favorite (I know it's easy, but I have fun doing it often). I enjoyed learning and practicing. I'm even getting my boyfriend into it. Thanks

Just like Line Dance 101, this DVD was very well received. My wife and I both loved it. It was a little faster paced than 101, but we felt prepared and could keep up. The dances are fun and presented very well. We like the way Shawn breaks down the dances and then has you learn with him. We liked Essential Line Dances Volume 2 for the same reasons.

I have several of the Shawn Trautman collection - they are all very professionally done. I think this is my favorite so far!

So you know a few line dance steps and you want to get out on the dance floor. Essential Line Dances (Vol 1) is for you!

Shawn Trautman introduces the beginner/intermediate dancer to several popular line dances in this volume. If you already know the basics of line dancing it will be easy for you to follow along the first time through as Shawn breaks the dances down step by step.

Even if you haven't danced before, each step is explained in detail and can be learned after a couple viewings (and with practice, of course!)

In addition to teaching the basic steps, Shawn offers alternative steps depending on your dancing level. There's something for everyone!

Great DVD. Shawn's DVD make learning to line dance easy and fun. His methods of instruction get an A+ from this teacher.

Taken line dancing? Throw away all you learned and do it the easy way with Shawn Trautman. I keep buying a couple of volumes at a time and amenjoying every minute. I can't understand why anyone wants to make this seem complicated.

One of the things I like most about this dvd
is the way Shawn spends time on the basic dance
and then introduces variations that make doing
the dance even more fun. If you go to a live dance
you are ready to spice things up for a more enjoyable
time with your friends.
