Editorial Reviews

Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 1 offers the easiest and most thorough instruction for anyone wanting to learn both Single-Time Swing and East Coast Swing, the two most popular versions of Swing. Each volume is professional, easy to follow, designed specifically for beginners and fun for everyone. With nearly 1½ hours of instruction, multiple camera views, and an easy navigational menu, Shawn and Joanna Trautman will build your confidence and have you dancing along with them... literally. The design of the curriculum and camera placement for the DVDs allows the leaders to do the exact movements that Shawn presents, and it allows the followers to mimic Joanna in real time without having to turn away from the screen. In addition to learning along with the instructors with split-screen formatting, you'll also get to dance each dance with music alongside the instructors at the end of each section.

This beginner DVD covers everything from the history of the dances, how to do Slows, Rocks, and Triple Steps, what the footwork is for both leaders and followers, how to properly use the four connection points specifically for Swing, and how to go from one dance position to another to another, seamlessly. You'll also learn the lead and follow elements to each move, what adding lilt to your body means, how to do left turns, right turns, underarm turns, and much, much more. Pick this DVD up today and start dancing with confidence tomorrow! Swing for Beginners 2 and Intermediate 1 also available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review for Shawn Trautman's Swing Dancing I DVD, January 3, 2006
By 
A. Johnson (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Swing Dance (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection) (DVD)
I found Shawn Trautman's Swing Dancing I DVD to be exceedingly helpful. I am not a natural dancer (I have the proverbial "two left feet"), but I found his instruction to be clear and easy to follow. The whole thing made sense after I saw it. I would highly recommend it for beginners. And I understand that he is making additional DVDs for more advanced swing dancers. I plan to buy them when they come out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shawn is 2 for 2, November 8, 2005
This review is from: Swing Dance (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection) (DVD)
This is the second of Shawn's DVDs that I got to learn to dance. Shawn hits another home run. He starts you off with a few basic steps, adds a few more, then a few more... You get the idea. The tips on positioning make so much sense once he explains them. This DVD is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Social butterfly, September 15, 2005
This review is from: Swing Dance (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection) (DVD)
I felt like Shawn was my private tutor. He came to my house, work at my speed, and gave me plenty of time to practice before I got out on the dance floor in front of my friends, sll at the price of a DVD. Now I have no problem hitting the dance floor when that music starts to swing.
