By Peggy Woods
I HAVE TWO STEP VOL 1 AND 2, I THOUGHT THEY WERE GREAT. I WAS WELL ON MY WAY DANCING. THIS DVD IS FULL OF SURPRISES. IT GOES INTO MANY MORE INCREDIBLE PATTERNS AND TURNS WHICH COMPLIMENT WHAT I HAVE ALREADY LEARNED. THIS ONE IS A MUST HAVE! SHAWN AND JOANNA MIXED THEM UP IN THE DANCE. GET READY FOR MORE FUN! INSTRUCTIONS AND FOOTWORK ARE JUST AWESOME. THEY WENT ALL OUT ON THIS ONE!

This tape is the best on the marketNov 27, 2006
By Rick Hamilton
I had spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on learn to dance videos before I finally started receiving Shawn Truatman's videos. I quickly realized all that early money had been wasted. Shawn's tapes are 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 the tape.
The Beginner Tape Volume Two picks up from there 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 taught 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 not have wasted all that money on bad tapes.

Alot of detail, great series!!Nov 27, 2006
By Shane S. Preston
This a fantastic series!! This dvd is actually pretty advanced. It's not hard but it goes into alot of detail. I can't wait for the next one! I feel like I know as much as the instructor at our club here. This will definitely put you in the driver's seat.

Clear and CoolNov 26, 2006
By etienne53

There are two good reasons to buy Shawn and Joanna Trautman's dance videos: the explanations are clear and the moves look so cool!
The Trautmans break every move into simple parts and consolidate what they teach with repetition. Leads and follows are clearly demonstrated. Instead of two minute segments, each lesson is up to twenty minutes long and builds like a lesson at the studio. No more hitting rewind over and over as you practice - just follow along in real time.
And the moves are combinations that look smooth and sophisticated together, a choreographed routine rather than just a collection of tricks. It's the difference between mechanically walking through the steps and gliding through like a pro.
Now I know where the dancers I envy are learning their moves!

An excellent dvdDec 05, 2006
By J. Sheffer
My wife and I are new to ballroom dancing in the last year. We've taken some lessons, but found that we needed the extra help of videos that we can use on our own schedule in our home and we've tried a bunch of them. This DVD and the whole series of new videos from Shawn Trautman have been a godsend and much more useful to us than the others we've tried. We are actually doing the dances within a short time and having fun, rather than getting aggravated with one another. Trautman's emphasis on the differing roles of leader and follower and the very clear demonstrations of those roles have helped us enormously. These DVDs include much more music and time to practice the new steps than most videos, rather than just watching an instructor do a step and go to another step. We like this video a lot and strongly recommend it. On a side note, the logistics/timing of shipping and subsequent email communications with the company were, after many frustrations with other online outfits, the best we've seen.
