 Very good, with a couple of flawsNov 14, 2009
I ordered this DVD after reading the glowing reviews. I like it a lot, but I have two fairly minor complaints: 1. His instruction pace is verrrryyyyy ssssslllloooowww and 2. The video quality is not that great.
Regarding the instruction pace, if you like things spelled out very, very thoroughly, you will love it. If you're a bit more fast-paced, you'll get a little impatient.
Regarding the video quality: it's not terrible, but it's certainly not up to today's standards for DVD. It looks like VHS video quality.
So, I still like the DVD, glad I ordered it, but everyone was *gushing* so much that I wanted to provide just a little bit of a counterpoint, as a reality check.

 Not as expectedOct 22, 2009
Not sure I picked out the right CD. I wanted a very basic dance I could learn with my husband but not sure he will think this is too easy.
Best instuctional video I have seenJun 19, 2009
We find this the best instuctional video we have. Shaun teaches in a way that you can follow without being confused by too much too fast as many other insructors do. We found it easy to follow and with great tips on style.

Two Step for beginnings Vol !Dec 16, 2008
From the wild wild west of Wyoming. This is an easy to learn 2 Step DVD. Once you get this one, you will be hooked. You might as well get the 2 step 3 pack and save some money. My husband and I are pretty good two steppers and started with the advanced 2 step DVD, then ordered the beginner to see what we missed. I think it is great for beginners or advanced. **Stand the way they tell you too** girls mimic Joanne and guys mimic Shawn. I try to keep my eye on Joanne's feet, dance awhile and check to see that I'm still in step with her. That makes it very easy to follow. We polished up our 2 step skills with the beginner and then went on to the advanced DVD.

Best Two-Step VideoNov 28, 2008
I have watched several videos on learning the two-step. Almost all of them focus on the foot work and completely leave out the signals to your partner. This video covers that important topic.
