Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Country Dancing for Beginners begins with an inspiring demo of how competition-level dancers--Josh Zuniga and Alina Wilson--might style the six dances: country polka, waltz, cha-cha, two-step, East Coast swing, and West Coast swing. Then Zuniga and Wilson demonstrate the basic level of each dance with variations while Teresa Mason's voice instructs. The "beginner" designation of this video might be misleading. Although the instructors demonstrate basic steps, they move quickly through the dances: five steps, plus a routine putting it all together, of six different dances in 60 minutes. You'll have to pause the program frequently to practice. True beginners might be intimidated by the pace, and the routine at the end is more intermediate than beginning level. Country Dancing for Beginners will appeal to experienced dancers of other styles of dance who are learning country western for the first time, but are not novice dancers. It's nicely produced and beautifully danced. --Joan Price

1.0 out of 5 stars Not even close to country!, October 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Country Dancing for Beginners [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Don't let the cover fool you. The demonstration couple are dessed in contemporary 70's disco wear and if you used any of their dance rountines in a real country western dancehall you'd be laughed off the floor. It's ballroom with a country cover, the two step excepted.
The only good thing I can say about this DVD is that I bought it used and didn't pay much for it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth It, January 6, 2006

By	Sugar With Spice (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews

Okay, I normally don't believe in giving bad feedback on an item, but this is one that just isn't worth it. Unless you live in a dance studio, there's no way you can learn this. Also, this is nothing like the dances done at the country clubs.

1.0 out of 5 stars You won't learn anything from this DVD., May 31, 2006

By	RD (Rhode Island) - See all my reviews

This DVD was awful. Its impossible to follow. The instructors don't break down any of the steps. I have a little bit of dance background and I couldn't pick up any of the dances. I would recommend one of Shawn Trautman's DVD's instead. You will find it much less frustrating.
