Can get you where you want to goJan 24, 2007
By Bill B I've been teaching couples dancing (rumba, cha, foxtrot, waltz, etc.) since 1993 and have designed a few dance DVDs. I got this DVD because I have no expertise in these particular dances. And I'm glad that I bought it.
Some people learn primarily by seeing a lot, others by hearing a lot, and still others by doing a lot. Most people learn best by getting some of each. Shawn Trautman overtalks the instruction? Not at all. DVDs that attempt to present a lot of information in a relatively short amount of time, as this one does, are condensed learning presentations. So, the necessary and helpful repetition of information may seem too much to people such as Mr. Davis. But if Shawn cut his verbal instruction way back, then people who learn primarily from hearing would be shortchanged. It is better to offer the maximum of which the DVD is capable, and let the viewer focus on what works for him/her.
Mr. Davis makes a value judgment when he says that he thinks that Shawn is "...trying to impress us..." I get the exact opposite impression. Shawn's presentation is very relaxed, even casual... as though he is a knowledgeable friend whom you invited into your house to teach you some dance basics. Friends don't try to impress; they try to help.
Would the DVD look different had I designed it? Sure, but it would be similar in more ways than it would be different. That's a matter of two teachers who have somewhat different approaches. There is no single correct method to teach dancing. Shawn's is certainly a valid technique.
The bottom line is: this DVD is a good introduction to the dances that are presented. People who buy it can expect to be successful in learning what is covered.

Cool DVD!!!Nov 08, 2005
By Mace-a-matic This DVD is so cool! I could not believe it was possible to learn how to dance from a DVD, but I thought I would give it a shot. I'm telling you, if I can learn this stuff, anyone can. Do not hesitate to buy this DVD.

This is what You're looking for!!!Nov 14, 2006
By Shane S. Preston I play in a country band in Reno and I was looking for some dvd's so I would know what the dancers were expecting out there when we play. I've had such a good time with these, I'm out dancing now! ...And it was relatively painless. This is the best series out there I've seen. I have 4 other ones. And they are very clear and well paced so you can keep up. These guys are really good at putting themselves in the dancers shoes and answering your questions before you ask them. These dvd's will save you alot of time and, in my case, embarassment. My girlfriend says she highly recommends these too. Good Luck.

Country Dancing Pros!Jan 10, 2007
By S. McKnight Living near an area where country music is king, I always wanted to know what the big fuss was about with country dancing, especially couples dancing. When I went out to a country western club, the couples line dances were AMAZING, but when I tried to catch on in the club, it just wasn't working. I searched all over to find DVDs like this one, and really there aren't many. When I found this one (I've bought from Shawn's series before) I was thrilled because I knew that he was a great instructor and already taught me quite a bit. After practicing for awhile, I went out to the same club and fit in really well! I even got a few compliments from my dance partners saying how fabulous I looked on the dance floor! If you want to dance the night away in the country club, this DVD is for you!
