"e;Hey if you are going to a wedding this is a must. Don't just sit there when the line dances are played just because you didn't bring a date or your date doesn't dance. You can join in on the fun as a single with Line Dances. When you get out on the dance floor you will already know how to do the dances and not look like a fool. I recommend that you buy this!"e; --A. McKnight

Party Line Dances DVD
Reviewer: A. Gruber (Auburndale, FL. United States)
This was a great video. In the past, I had bought some videos from other sources and also checked a bunch out from the library and most were not very good. They were out of date or did not have the kind of dancing we do around here. But Shawn's dance DVD was very up to date. It has the type of dancing that we often do in my location (Florida) and at the LDS church dances I attend.

Fun & Fabulous!!
Reviewer: D. Daugherty (GA)
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!!

Joe Electric Macarena Slapping Tush Boogie
Reviewer: LeeAn (Boston, MA)
This DVD has saved me from the disgrace of not knowing how to do the Electric Slide. (I even managed to recognized it in the Tyler Perry movies!!) Shawn knows his stuff. This is a great intro for beginners and the uninitiated. I would have liked an extended practice time, but the instruction is solid, so I can turn on my fav country station and get that myself.

Fun Stuff!!
Reviewer: G. Waters "e;BIG GEORGE"e; (Spokane, WA, USA)
This DVD was also GREAT! We started with the Quick Start Guide to Line Dancing and went immediately into this one. This DVD was different in that it gave some fun options to do for the dances rather than focusing more on the steps and it had some new ones. We breezed through this DVD being that we were comfortable with the steps. This DVD's also really easy to learn from and definitely a great value. Our favorite was the Tush Push! GEORGE

Excellent
Reviewer: A. Burford "e;AB"e;
I highly advised the Party Line Dance DVD if you want to learn some fun line dances. My husband did not want to learn line dances at first but now he loves them. We learned the line dances in a little bit of no time. They are so easy to learn and fun too. This DVD will have you and your friends line dancing in no time.

Learned electric slide in 5 minutes!!! check this one out
Reviewer: k-light06 "e;kurt"e;
with this dvd, i learned and mastered electric slide and all main variations in 5 minutes, after years of bafflement seeing it on the floor at least a hundred times. i have it clearly in my mind now. shawn shows it with absolute clarity. (electric slide is strangely rooted in harlem swing-era moves!)
shawn rocks!

YES... finally
Reviewer: Dancin Toes "e;Kitty"e; (Silver Spring)
I was standing on the sidelines..wanting to do the Electric Slide... Now.. I can do it better than anyone...
BEST learning guide..Fun Fun Fun

Fantastic!! The absolute best dance DVD out there!
Reviewer: L. Nelson
I own many dance instuction tapes and DVD's, but they're all collecting dust. Not, Shawn Trautman's. I have 4 of his now. This is the best one for a beginner. Anyone, and I mean anyone can learn to dance with his DVD's.

The most thorough dance DVDs I have ever seen!
Reviewer: hia-dancer (Seattle, WA)
I have now had the chance to review both this DVD and the Couples Ultimate Dance Sampler (thank you so much!) that I received. I thought they were great! They were the most thorough dance DVDs that I have ever seen, and I have seen plenty. Every step was shown so thoroughly that I can't imagine anyone NOT getting it after they get through the DVDs.

Another excellent DVD from Shawn Trautman
Reviewer: J.D. Weller
Shawn Trautman has done a great job of breaking the dances on this dvd down into easily remembered bite-sized chunks that don't overwhelm a person and that's quite a feat considering the sheer number of dances covered on this dvd. You definitely get your money's worth. The camera angles work well and Shawn's instruction is low key and patient without being boring.
Of course, the best part for me personally is that you can always watch the dvd again and again if that's what it takes for you to "e;get"e; a certain part of the dance and nobody's going to get worn out or impatient with you.
So if you've longed to get up and join in the fun when people start dancing, but haven't because you think you're too much of a klutz this is a perfect place to start. Most highly recommended.
Btw, my fiancee and I also own the Slow Dance dvd (for my upcoming nuptials) and we both absolutely loved it as well.

Makes line dancing really easy
Reviewer: Dance Enthusiast
My last experience with line dancing was a disaster, so I'm glad I followed through with this one. It was very easy to follow along with and I liked the fact that it wasn't overdone. I could see the instructor's feet as well as his body, and the steps were easy to follow with some good variations to throw in to make it more interesting. This is not an aerobics DVD, but if you want to learn how to do the dances to go out and get and have fun line dancing this is a really good one to learn from.

Party Line Dances
Reviewer: C.S. Boyd
I am very pleased with Shawn's DVD. He breaks the steps down into manageable parts. I also like the steps shown from the different angles. This DVD is a must for all beginners.

Best for your money!
Reviewer: K. Morgan
I was very pleased with this purchase as well. The way Shawn teaches is much easier to learn from than any line dance instructor I've taken from in the last couple of months since I started. The dances are taught a little faster than Line Dance 101 and adds several useful steps as alternates. These are still some pretty easy dances, but they're good to know. Highly recommend.

Recent Line Dancing Addict
J. Carmack
Shawn Trautman's instructional dance video was extremely helpful. I recently became a Country Western Line Dancing addict and have thoroughly enjoyed learning some of the most popular line dances. My favorite dance on this particular video is Slappin' Leather. Shawn is a great teacher and makes it easy for anyone to learn! He also shows how to adapt different styles and moves to standard line dances. I have tested out the new dance moves I've learned and have had a blast dancing with friends. I'm a sucker for choreographed dance moves and it's sooo much fun to learn line dances. This is a great video for beginners and pros - I would highly recommend this video to anyone wanting to learn any type of dance. Enjoy!

Great Instruction DVD
Reviewer: D.A. Walsh (Chicago, IL)
I just recently purchased Shawns Line Dance DVD in search of some country steps to create an easy choreography for a group I am working with. The DVD was very easy to follow by showing the feet clearly, repeating steps often, and broken down into small segments to learn. It is a great DVD for those who are beginning dancers yet he throws in some challenging variations for those more advanced. These are basic line dances done by all!!! Thanks Shawn for a great support DVD

PARTY LINE DANCES by SHAWN TRAUTMAN
Reviewer: E. Henshon (Springfield, MA)
This is a great DVD. I bought it for my son, who has Special Needs. He attends a lot of dances and is always on the dance floor, but has never been able to figure out how to do the Electric Slide or Macarena. Neither my husband nor I knew how to do these dances either. I played the "e;Party Line Dances"e; DVD, and asked my son to follow Shawn's instructions. Pretty soon he was moving along with Shawn, and doing very well. And by joining a few of our son's practices, my husband and I quickly picked up the dance moves too. My son now participates fully, and we look forward to line dancing at our own occasions.

GREAT DVD!
Reviewer: S. McKnight (Atlanta, GA)
I always manage to get my feet all tangled when I try to do line dancing and I get the timing all wrong. It is almost like a line up of dominos when I get in the dance line so I was determined to figure a few of them out. This DVD was fun to go through and helped me realize that the dances are not really that hard when they are broken down and that I COULD do them. I am sure that if I had started out this way I would have avoided many awkward moments that I have gotten myself into. As such, I definitely recommend this DVD.
