DVD Reviews of Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 1 (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection)
DVD Review: This is awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is THE best dance instruction DVD I've ever used. I've taken "live" lessons in a group and learned the basics (I thought) but I always felt awkward. Well, Shawn was able to explain some of the things beginners naturally want to do that MAKE us look awkward. Wow!
The DVDs are easy to watch and give more than one camera view of the feet and body. Most of all, you can start out as a complete beginner and not feel lost. Then, each Shawn adds little pieces at a time so you can learn at your own pace. You won't be disappointed with this purchase. Seriously.
DVD Review: Absolutely Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I are having a ball with the Swing and love Shawn's DVDs. The instruction quality is first rate as they truly know how to teach. We continue to be impressed by the level of detail provided for both the leader's role and the follower's. Also, their informal style makes it feel like you're taking lessons from a really knowledgable friend. We highly recommend these DVDs for anyone wanting to learn either single time or east coast swing.DVD Review: Great start
Summary: 5 Stars
We wanted to learn how to swing dance but felt so self-conscious on the dance floor that we couldn't do the classes. This really helped get us started on our own turf. We bought Vol 2 and the Intermediate Vol1 and highly recommend all three. The quality is good and Shawn focuses on the lead role quite a bit, which is what we need the most help from. DVD Review: The Trautmans are true "teachers" of dance.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've reviewed many "dance lesson" DVDs and videos made by professional dancers but they don't come close to the quality and depth of Shawn Trautman's. Their DVDs are well made,( proper lighting, excellent audio, multiple views of the footwork, they zoom in on important technical points). The instruction is clear and the lessons are taught at the perfect pace. It's like having the instructors right there in your home. They speak in detail to both the lead's role and the follower's. They stand and dance as you will while watching and practicing(not facing you so that you have to look over your shoulder while following the moves). DVD Review: As Easy as 1-2-Rock Step
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent introduction to East Coast Swing, including single-time and triple-time. Shawn and Joanna have become our favorite dance teachers as they produce videos that we can actually follow step-by-step. Each new step is introduced, then repeatedly shown from various angles. Each step is shown from the Leader's perspective, and then the Follower's, and the Trautman's are talking you through it each step of the way. This way you can start the DVD and dance right along with it, without constantly stopping, rewinding, and replaying parts. If you didn't get it the first time, just wait and they will show you again. There are lots of helpful hints, and enough moves to get you started on the dance floor. We ordered Beginners Volume 1 and Volume 2, as well as Intermediate Swing at the same time. We like to view the whole set first to see what's coming and to give us a goal. These DVD's are great learning tools, but we also keep them and use them repeatedly to accompany practice time, and as a refresher on things that we may have forgotten. Shawn and Joanna make it fun. They have an easy-going informal style that makes you comfortable.
I highly recommend all three of these DVD's.
Description of Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 1 (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection)
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 dancing. Each volume is professional, easy to follow, designed for beginners and fun for everyone. With nearly 1? hours of instruction and multiple camera views, 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 leaders to do the EXACT movements that Shawn presents, and it allows followers to mimic Joanna in real time without having to turn away from the screen. In addition, youll 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 Swing, how to do Slow Steps, Rock Steps, 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. Youll also learn 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 more. With nearly two decades of experience, a number of World Champion students to their credit, and their recently published book Picture Yourself Dancing, Shawn and Joanna have perfected the basic elements of each dance while specializing in the leading and following aspects which are extremely hard to find. Shawn and Joanna will demonstrate, explain, and teach you to lead and follow the Swing so you can dance anywhere with anyone, rather than just learning a single step that can only be done with your partner. Once youre comfortable with this DVD, youll want to look into Beginner Volume 2 as it seamlessly adds on to everything you learned here to rapidly gain confidence based on consistency and repetition.General DVDs
