When I got into this business I made a commitment to make instruction videos out that were completely different than the outdated, cheesy, non-teaching videos that this industry has been known for.
Not only am I a dance instructor and businessman, but I'm also an avid consumer who loves to dance, but who's been frustrated by the many dance videos I have that failed to deliver what they should have. I vowed I'd find a better way and that's exactly why our business has exploded in the recent past.
Every dance I teach I have firsthand experience with and I make it a point to deliver the ins and outs of what you really need to succeed on the dance floor. The last thing I want to do is bore you with moves that you'll never see in a club or with theory that has no real-world value. What you'll learn here you'll use the rest of your life!

No matter if it's a wedding, club, an upcoming party, event, or social outing you're going to, my brand, Shawn Trautman Instruction is the proven choice for your dance lessons.
Shawn Trautman's entire brand was created and is based on a number of distinct advantages (more on Shawn's advantages here) that should make you feel more comfortable. Here are a few of the main components to consider:
Shawn Trautman Instruction narrows the scope down to what’s essential for learning, starting with the incorporation of the three learning styles. Most people remember only about 20 percent of what they read, yet they remember closer to 60 percent of what they physically do. It’s been said, however, that the average person remembers 90 percent of what they see, hear, say, and do. If you just read my book, for example, chances are you would be cheating yourself out of most of its value. By introducing what learners need in an order that makes logical sense and by utilizing multi-sensory teaching techniques, this unique dance instruction enables learners who pace themselves and use the DVDs as instructed to achieve rapid results that won’t quickly be forgotten. Each of the senses carries its own unique attributes for learning, and most people are inclined to use one more than the others. Regardless, the easier information is to process and assimilate, the better it will stay in your long-term memory.
Now you can learn to dance the Swing, Two-Step, Waltz, West Coast Swing or even one of many Line Dances on your own time, away from intimidating ballrooms, high-pressure instructors, or smoky country nightclubs.
With Shawn Trautman’s wide variety of instructional DVDs, it’s possible to perfect those steps before you ever set foot on a dance floor in front of others. Through any of Shawn Trautman's DVDs, you'll have an instructor who patiently and effectively guides you to mastery.
Learn to dance, step by step, in the privacy of your own home and you'll be ready to show off to your family and friends in no time. You'll be ready to go out on the town and line dance with friends ‘till dawn. You can achieve a closer relationship with your significant other by learning and working with each other. Whatever you want to do, your new dance abilities await. All you have to do is get started today.
