I'm in the process of updating my personal thoughts on Two-Step for Beginners Volume 2. Thanks for your patience as I provide my candid point of view on my dance lessons.

Unarguably your best bet when it comes to Two-Step! You get four and a half hours of step-by-step lessons that are masterfully shown using a logical approach that makes this dance fun and exciting.

Your two-step lessons go from absolute beginner to a full understanding of the dance with plenty of practice time inbetween.

Just like in the Swing and West Coast Swing DVDs, you'll find yourself way ahead of most when it comes to lead & follow Two-Step as Shawn carefully builds your mastery of the most critical elements for success.

"There are two good reasons to buy Shawn and Joanna Trautman's dance videos: the explanations are clear and the moves look so cool! The Trautmans break every move into simple parts and consolidate what they teach with repetition. Leads and follows are clearly demonstrated. Instead of two minute segments, each lesson is up to twenty minutes long and builds like a lesson at the studio. No more hitting rewind over and over as you practice - just follow along in real time. And the moves are combinations that look smooth and sophisticated together, a choreographed routine rather than just a collection of tricks. It's the difference between mechanically walking through the steps and gliding through like a pro. Now I know where the dancers I envy are learning their moves!" S. Willson

These easy-to-follow DVDs build on top of one another, meaning each move you learn in Volume 1 is used to build the next move, and so on. You'll go from step one fundamentals to understanding intricate lead & follow combinations that are essential for dancing Two-Step with anyone.
