Each volume is professional, easy to follow, designed for beginners and fun for everyone. With nearly 1½ 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 the leaders to do the EXACT movements that Shawn presents, and it allows the followers to mimic Joanna in real time without having to turn away from the screen. In addition, you'll also get to dance each dance with music alongside the instructors at the end of each section. This DVD covers everything from how to do quicks and slows, what the footwork is for both leaders and followers, how to properly use the four connection points, how to turn on corners, what drills are best for practicing on your own, the importance of stopping on the dance floor, how to do mirrored vines, wraps, torque turns, forward and back presentations and much more. With nearly two decades of experience, several World Champion students to their credit, and their newly published book Picture Yourself Dancing, Shawn and Joanna will demonstrate, explain, and teach you to lead and follow the Two-Step so you can dance anywhere with anyone, rather than just learning a single step that can only be done with your partner.This innovative DVD series teaches the most essential basic steps for beginners at a slow and steady pace, which is perfect for gift-giving to friends, family, co-workers, or yourself. This DVD is best used as a starting point that will help you quickly accelerate your way through the Two-Step Collection and/or Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection in its entirety where you'll have your choice of more than 20 highly-rated full-length dance lesson DVDs. | | | Features: | |

Great Video!Mar 20, 2006
By Anna M. Bednarski
"annabanana"
My Husband and I both have two left feet and we never go dancing in public. After watching Shawn's video at home, we now surprise ourselves and our friends when we go out. It is so easy and fun to learn all of the steps. My husband and I always have a great time practicing old steps and learning new ones. We both highly recommend this video to anyone who wants to learn how to dance and learn hot new steps.

My Review!Feb 02, 2006
By Amber A. Schultz
"Military_bride"
I really liked this video. He showed each step individually from each point of view. 1. for the leader 2. for the follower 3. both together. He showed the leader how to lead and the follower how to follow. The only thing that I think he could have done better is to do the steps to music at the end of each section.

Wow! Great DVD! -Two Step DVD Volume 1Sep 26, 2005
By Damon Tankersley
I am shocked! I have to admit I didn't think I'd really learn anything from this DVD. After all I had tried several other companies DVD's and still couldn't dance. But I thought I'd try one more. Thank you Shawn! I'm dancing! Very easy to understand. If Shawn can teach me to dance... he can dang sure teach you!

This is the best instructor!!!Mar 08, 2007
By Olive
"love to read"
If you have two left feet and have a difficult time remembering instructions, especially when it comes to dance lessons, then believe me, this dance video is for you. Trust me, Shawn and his wife make the lessons so unbelievably easy that I'm now slightly embarrassed when I realize how easy it is to two-step. I always got mixed up on the dance floor and wasn't really sure I was two-stepping correctly, but now I know exactly how to do it! I am going to order more of his videos.

This tape is the best of the best.Nov 27, 2006
By Rick Hamilton
I had spent hundreds and hundreds on learn to dance videos before I finally starting receiving Shawn Trautman's videos. I then realized all that early money was wasted. Shawn's tapes is the best there is.
I now have received his Two-Step for beginners Volume One and Two and his Intermediate Two-Step Video.
The Beginner Tape Volume One starts out slow just for the person who has never danced before and then progresses on so even if you have some dancing experience you can still learn from this tape.
Beginner Tape Volume Two picks up from there and progresses at a speed that anyone can learn.
The Two Step Intermediate tape takes over then and progresses slowly into a more advanced level.
I recommend these tapes to anyone because the teaching method used by Shawn's tapes are done in a way that are easy to understand and makes it easy for any beginner to understand but at the same time someone who already has experience can learn from the tapes also. The tapes are done so well that I feel if a beginner looked at one of Shawn's more advanced tapes they could even learn from that..
Hopefully this review will help someone not waste hundreds of dollars like I did buying bad tapes. I wish I would have had this information and I would have bought Shawn's tapes first and I would have not wasted all that money on bad tapes.
