This is a true beginning class for those of us not kinsthetically inclined. Even I can linedance now!!! I will buy every video in the series. I took ballroom dancing and had such a hard time "getting" it but this is actually helping me get that stuff too! Also you will get a workout while having fun. Very enjoyable.
Why buy what doesn't apply?Reviewed by K. Kronicz, 2010-02-12
I ordered three of Shawn's Learn to Dance dvds, but kept only this one because I had already opened it. Shawn does demonstrate quite well how each step should be performed, but the music is so VERY DIFFERENT than what is actually used in dance clubs. There are other instructional dvds available by different instructors who do use the correct music, which makes applying what you're learning far easier to actually make use of
One of the best instructors ever!Reviewed by Justin Blade, 2010-02-03
I just finished learning the entire DVD of dances and variations and I must say throughout Shawn is an excellent instructor giving back and side views of the moves and dances so you don't have to reverse what you're doing but can move naturally with him. Also, unlike what the most negative reviewer said - you certainly do get to dance every dance to at least a 2 minute piece of music, not including the "prelude" before (doing it without music) and build up he does throughout the entire teaching linking recently learnt moves to the building dance. There is also a Full Review section for doing all the dances and moves in a more aerobic style session and the practice for the last dance "Slappin' Leather" is included after that session rather than in the end of it's section (unlike the rest). An excellent instructor and awesome country line dancing with easy and some impressive advanced variations and pieces. 5 stars!

If your are new to line-dancing and don't know where to start, this
is the DVD for you. After practicing with this DVD, I was able to
feel right dancing at the Saddle Rack in Fremont, CA. This is the
place to start if you want to get into country dancing.
Best DVD I have ever had!!Reviewed by Sharon S. Johnson, 2009-12-01
I recently ordered Line Dance 101 to get me started with line
dancing. I am currently a beginner in an intermediate class due to
scheduling conflicts...I felt totally lost until I got Shawn
Trautman's video....It is excellent and is a great beginning for
anyone who wants to learn to line dance. It has really helped me
tremendously. He goes through and shows you each step and then you
practice each one several times before putting a series
together....excellent resource. I no doubt will order whatever
comes next when I feel I am ready for it...
Thank you Shawn for your excellent teaching.
I feel anyone who wants to learn to line dance will be dancing in
no time if they use Shawn Trautman and his video as their
instructor. And best part is, you can do it at your own pace.
Enjoy everyone...I sure am.
Sharon
