DVD Reviews of Christy Lane's Complete Guide to Line Dancing

DVD Review: I love it!
Summary: 5 Stars

I knew the" electric slide" and that was the extent of my line dancing skills, until I watched this. I am now such a fan! What a great video and style of dance! This video will get you up to snuff, so when you go out to the country western bars you can join in on the fun. This is a great dance style for those who are shy, because you are dancing with a group all doing the same movements so there is no fear.
I'm not a fan of most country music either; however, Christy did a wonderful job of selecting songs that are fun and easy to dance.

DVD Review: I don't know what the bad reviewers are seeing
Summary: 5 Stars

This video is great. The nature of videos is that you can pause and rewind, and Christy's organized, clear method of teaching makes this a really great video to learn. She keeps it interesting and energetic too...you don't get bored. This is a GREAT way to learn these dances!

DVD Review: Great for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars

Ok, so the music is really bad but she gives great instructions on the basic steps for line dancing. I bought this when I first wanted to learn to line dance and even though several of these line dances are not done in this area, I've been able to pick up other dances because of the basics I learned from this video. Pretty Cheesy music but hey, if you really want to learn how to line dance, this is a great way to start!

DVD Review: Christy Lane's Complete Guide to Line Dancing
Summary: 5 Stars

5 stars. I loved this DVD. It has 22 dances on it unlike other DVD's! It also had all the steps I needed to learn. It really helped with my self confidence.

I totally recommend this video. Christy Lane really knows her stuff!

DVD Review: Library rental - good detailed teaching
Summary: 4 Stars

I reserved this at the library by accident. I liked her hip hop dancing dvd.
There are three levels of dancing - beginner, intermediate & advanced. There is also a video terminology where she demonstrates what a step, hook, kick, three-step, tap, ball chain, grapevine, swivel, toe or heal fan, etc. are & they are very easy movements.
Christy (on cover) teaches you alone. She's very lively/enthusiastic & speaks quickly & gets to the point quick which is refreshing. She's a little OVERLY enthusiastic, a bit corny, but better then dry/boring instructor any day.
Christy teaches you about once the moves w/o music in 1/4-1/2 speed, then again in normal speed with music (she still calls out the name of the step here). During teaching, she has her back to you, calling out the type of step as she goes. If there is turning & repeating involved, she teaches you the part up to the turn, has you practice normal speed quick w/o music, then goes on since directional changes can seem more confusing then they are.
She encourages you to rewind. I think she teaches well, going 1/2 time when teaching, back turned, calling out the name of the steps instead of just counting in 8s. I wish all dance videos did that. The only thing people could wish for is more practice, but since this is low budget (though professional sound, lighting/camera work), you gotta cut costs somewhere.

Description of Christy Lane's Complete Guide to Line Dancing

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!
