Glide across the dance floor with skillful slow dance technique and you’ll think more about the fun intimacy you’re creating than the timing of a turn. The intimate nature of slow dance lends itself well to beginner instruction. It’s very easy to relax when you’re dancing with a trusted partner and even beginning slow dancers enjoy the learning process, laughing at any mistake and fixing the problem together.
To keep the “fun” in fundamentals, learn to dance with Shawn Trautman DVDs. The world-renowned dance instructor won’t just tell you how to slow dance – he’ll show you the steps using multiple camera angles and invite you to dance along. By the end of each lesson, you’ll be ready to lead or follow any slow dance a DJ chooses to play..
- The Slow Dance for Beginners collection offers students a natural progression of skills. Clear a small space in front of the TV screen and enroll you and your partner in the day’s lesson. Only have a set amount of time? Pause the DVD and come back at a later date – you’ll start the lesson right where you left off.
- When you venture out into the public slow dance forum, remember that your dancing skills aren’t the only prerequisite for an enjoyable time. If you plan to ask strangers to dance, make the experience fun for them as well. This isn’t the time to show off your moves and leave a partner in utter confusion. Work together just as Shawn Trautman taught you to do and each slow dance will be enjoyable.
