If you're tired of missing out
on the fun and ready to line dance, look no further than Line Dance 101 and the Line Dance 6-pack! Author of Picture Yourself Dancing, acclaimed dance instructor Shawn Trautman teaches line dancing in a Line Dancing, Cowboy Hat, Cowboy, Cowgirls, Country and Western Music, Nightclub, Jeans, Texasway that everyone follows and learns from. Below, you'll learn what the steps to line dancing success are, the benefits of learning through a Shawn Trautman DVD, and an irresistable offer that will get you ready for your next outing.

Steps to Line Dancing Success

  1. Learn the terminology (individual steps) before trying to learn complete dances (Line Dance 101 teaches more than 30 of the most popular steps).
  2. Develop "Foot-Eye" coordination and muscle memory by building small sequences of steps and doing them over and over (Line Dance 101 puts step sequences together as you learn).
  3. Build entire dances based on step sequences. Though a dance may be 20 or more 'counts', it may only be 5 or 6 sequences that repeat. Once you know the step names and sequences, learning dances becomes much easier (both Line Dance 101 and Party Line Dances cover beginner dances built on sequences like this).
  4. Practice without music and facing several different directions. The music won't make your feet do the steps magically. You need to be comfortable with the dance from beginning to end and you should be able to complete the step sequence independent of your visual surroundings (such as relying on seeing a particular spot on a wall during a particular step). You should also know where the dance is to end up: are you supposed to be facing the same way you started? The opposite way? One quarter turn to the right? Each dance is different, so it's important to master the steps without the music and visual cues in your surroundings. If the dance is a "4-wall" dance, meaning each time you start the dance sequence over you will be facing a new direction, you should practice to each "wall", or direction, before putting it all together with music (each DVD in the Line Dance 6-pack teaches in this manner).
  5. Practice with varying speeds of music. This is a great way to practice what you've learned. Put on your favorite CD and try each dance you learn to songs that are slow or even medium speed (helps with the muscle memory), and then to the song that the dance goes to or that the DJ usually plays (note: there are MANY songs that line dances can go to; if the DJ plays one that you're not familiar with, it doesn't mean it's wrong - there are very few 'standards' that are the same everywhere).
  6. Challenge yourself. Once you're comfortable with the steps, you can put them together a bit faster (Essential Line Dances 1 & 2) and then learn longer and faster dances that'll keep your mind moving (Smokin' Line Dances 1 &2). Whether just for fun and exercising, or for the club, the more dances you've mastered, the easier it is to pick up new ones during the "FREE Lessons" or during the night when others are out dancing. Your learning doesn't stop with the Line Dance 6 pack, but it'll sure be easier from this point forward.

"I have the electric slide down and hope to get my husband involved next. I liked your approach and style tremendously and think my husband will have no problem learning the dances from you as well...The things about your video I liked were: Your very basic approach with different camera angles; the way you were dressed (very ungay) and your easy speech." Janet H. TX

don't want them to be embarrassed and shy at a club or any dance venue!
at first my oldest was hesitant, but by the end of the dvd, was asking to experiment and practice! He even has his favorites...knowledge is truly power!
Awesome instruction...thank you for making it so darn easy" Allison P. NYC

hated it. Two of my fellow dancers also bought your DVD's - we aren't very
good, but we have a good time dancing. Your instructions are excellent." Tony M. TN

"The DVDs are excellent teaching tools, thank you...I have been having lessons (when I can as I have 2 small children and a husband who works odd hours) so this is great for re-inforcing what I've learnt in class...and for learning new dances...a very good product I'm really happy with it!"

Rave Reviews
  • "I was inspired to learn line dancing when I saw all my relatives doing it at my nephew's wedding reception. I wanted be up there with them. I got Shawn Trautman's Line Dancing 101 DVD and now I'm ready! He makes it so easy to learn. He takes you step by step, just at the right tempo. He shows the steps from different angles so you don't have to guess if you're doing it right. He took me easily from from one dance to another and I got a great workout. I'm 64 years old, and I only wish I had found Shawn Trautman earlier."
    -Isadora (CA) Line Dance 101

  • "What a GREAT DVD that simply teaches you the most popular line dances. Even my 11 year old son quickly learned the Party Line Dance steps and confidently used them at his 1st school dance. Thanks Shawn!!"
    -D. Daugherty (GA) Party Line Dances

  • "My favorite thing about Shawn Trautman's DVD's is the instruction provided individually for the leaders and the followers, so that each person learns what they should be doing."
    -M.C. (Florida)

  • "Great DVD. Shawn's DVD make learning to line dance easy and fun. His methods of instruction get an A+ from this teacher."
    -C.S. Boyd Essential Line Dances

  • "These dances are indeed complicated. But as he does in other DVDs, Shawn presents the steps in segments that can be easily learned and he encourages you to repeat them over and over to make sure you've mastered them.."
    -R. Jenkins (FL) Smokin' Line Dances

  • "Wow, we really liked this one! This one gives a number of specific dances to go through with a partner that are like line dances for couples. The Sweetheart Schottische and the Ten Step are fun to do and are the same dances they do here where we are. We found the instruction to be very easy to learn from and liked the speed of the teaching."
    -R. Sheldon (KY) Hot Country Dancing for Couples

  • "I have many swing dance DVD's at home but this one is by far the best. The instructor breaks down each step, arm position, and dance position into its most basic form allowing a person who has never danced before to master the basics. Each step is repeated many times so that there is no need to stop and replay each section. Split camera angles are used effectively to show the proper position of each partner. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who has no prior experience in dance."
