Filmed and produced with optimized viewpoints from multiple camera angles, you'll be impressed at how simple this DVD makes ballroom dancing for you.

Good foundation with a nice pace
"This DVD creates a nice foundation. Shawn teaches the moves clearly and slowly, giving the lead just enough information without confusing him. Although, I would have liked to see more tips for the follow. The pace was also nice, not overwhelming but not boring. The variety of dances made for an interesting and diverse dance DVD."
-Megan N


Excellent Instruction
"My favorite thing about Shawn Trautman's DVDs is the instruction provided individually for the leaders and the followers, so that each person learns what they should be doing. The camera angles are great too. This particular DVD has a lot of great variety (salsa, cha-cha, tango, etc)."
-Mindy C

Excellent!
"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. "
-J. Sheffer

Great Lesson!
"This lesson is definitely worth taking! It's a private lesson that you can take and repeat anytime. I really enjoyed the variety of dances taught in this Ballroom & Latin dance sampler. While all of the dances are fun to learn and practice, the Tango steps were particularly fun for me and my partner!" Wayne, FL

Turn a dance partner into a "leader"!
This DVD gives practical instruction to men on how to lead properly. We especially liked the "hustle" segment. We busted out our salsa skills at my high school reunion and really impressed my classmates!"
Naomi M., Boston, MA

Easy-to-follow
Besides covering the dance steps in an easy-to-follow way, the instruction for beginners also covers leading and following. The dance videos I checked out of the library showed dance positions, but didn't explain how these positions are used to lead the lady and follow the man. The instructors seem like very nice people. Keep up the good work."
- June W., Hockessin, DE

EXCELLENT VIDEO
"GREAT INTRODUCTION TO BALLROOM DANCING! THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO IF YOU WANT TO START BALLROOM DANCING. THERE ARE ENOUGH STEPS IN EACH OF THE DIFFERENT BALLROOM DANCES THAT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PRACTICE ONE CAN VENTURE TO THE DANCE FLOOR WITHOUT GETTING UNCOMFORTABLE DOING IT. THE BASIC STEPS ARE EASY TO LEARN AND REMEMBER. JUST GET YOUR MIND INTO IT AND START DANCING."
-Dom V., Savannah, GA

"It was easy to learn by myself, it gave me more confidence!"
-Andrew J., Hillsboro, NH

Basics you can use again and again
"Before this DVD I didn't realize there are so many common elements in different dances. Little things like how to hold your hands and where to place your hands can be used in more than one dance. I had no idea how important those little things could be, or how easy they can be to master. This is a good starting point for any beginner."
- Rose J., Palm Harbor, FL
