 We had a great time learning to Slow Dance!Feb 17, 2008
By Thomas J. Kuhn
When my wife told me that we were taking Slow Dance lessons, I was a bit apprehensive. I've never really been that comfortable on the dance floor. However, my concerns started to go away when she showed me that we would be learning and practicing in the privacy of our home with the Shawn Trautman Slow Dancing for Beginners DVD Collection. We listened to the DVD lessons a few times. It is great that when she or I had questions, we could simply stop, rewind and practice at our own pace. Shawn Trautman explains steps and moves in an easy-to-understand, confident manner.
We actually ventured out to a public event last weekend -- a somewhat formal charity event. To everyone's surprise (especially my own), both my wife and I were awesome on the dance floor! Unlike the old days, where I would slink into the corner when the music started, I confidently asked my wife to dance all night long. Both of us even found ourselves asking others to dance -- and offered them little tips along the way (forgive us Shawn for borrowing some of those!). We are both actually looking forward to going to more events where we can "show our stuff" on the dance floor. For these reasons, I whole-heartedly recommend the Shawn Trautman Slow Dancing for Beginners and rate it Five Stars!

 Overall A Good DVDMay 14, 2008
By Kellea A. Poore
My fiance and I are getting married in May, so we decided that we should try to learn to slow dance (I've always hated seeing people sway back and forth). I got this DVD because it was affordable and seemed to be pretty simple. Overall, the DVD is very helpful but I wish that they would've had newer music so that we could've gotten a feel for what it would be like to dance to regular slow music. I also wish that they would've focused on the feet more, and explained how small or large a step should be. My fiance is definitely dancing-challenged so sometimes he got frustrated when he'd have to stare at Shawn's feet to figure out how he was turning so quickly. The DVD was almost too fast on the more difficult things, and took way too long on the simple side to side steps. I would recommend Slow Dancing for Beginners though, since it did help us quite a bit.

Excellent FoundationJun 16, 2008
By John Christoffer
"Aflac"
I found these 2 DVD's to be a great starting point for learning how to dance. First, dance foot positions are explained. Next, connection points are expalined. These serve as a foundation for all dances.
Furthermore, the dance moves(i.e. Lunge, underarm turns) that were explained could apply to many different dances. Also, there was an excellent review at the end of each DVD to summarize what was taught.
This DVD seies would be a great place to start if one has never danced before.

Very HelpfulOct 25, 2009
By Heather Gallagher
My husband and I are not very good dancers (we just don't do it very often at all) so, in order to prepare for a family wedding, we got this DVD and it helped tremendously. They went through all the steps and made it very easy to understand and mimic. They even put music on so we could practice with them and see how it would look with music. We didn't realize how much we would like dancing and we attribute that Shawn and Joanna's wonderful teaching style. Loved it!!!

Best dance instruction DVD on the market!Mar 05, 2011
By Chap
"chaplain denny"
Slow Dancing for Beginners, vol 1, has been the best investment my wife and I have made. We have wanted to learn how to dance for quite a long time, but it always got pushed on to the back burner, with raising a family, career and whatnot. The kids are grown. My wife and I are enjoying our empty nest and re-discovering what it means to be intimate. Finding Shawn & Joanna Trautman's dance videos on Amazon helped us immensely. We are becoming more intimate with each other and learning to dance in the process! The instruction is very clear and easy to follow. Shawn & Joanna break the dance down and teach it step by step. It's so easy to follow along. We are looking forward to buying many more of the Trautman's DVD's. It's been a long time since we've had so much fun together!Slow Dancing for Beginners Volume 1 (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection)
