Every time you step out on the floor and start moving to the graceful flow of music that makes up a waltz, you and your partner can escape the mundane and live the fairy tale for the duration of the dance.

Along the way, you will gather essential beginner moves, steps, and style points as Shawn and Joanna have you dancing along in minutes on Waltz 101.
Shawn and Joanna Trautman will have you moving with grace anywhere and everywhere you can waltz, whether it is a country dance floor, elegant ballroom, or formal wedding reception. Waltz 101 is designed as an entry point for absolute beginners, or as a refresher course for students who wish to "brush up" or add the elegant waltz to their collection of dances.

"Wow, Shawn, this is huge! I took some Waltz lessons in High School for drama and this would have made all the difference in the world. You cover everything! I can't tell you how many of the things I did wrong that are easy fixes.
My girlfriend and I breezed through the first 3 sections and did really well with them. Just getting the right look is huge and we feel like we truly look like we know what we're doing. When we got to the lead & follow section our progress slowed and we don't have it all yet, but we're close. Lots to play with though! Definitely give you 5 stars on this one for how easy it is to follow along with and for your new format - we love that you have music playing the entire time."

Is an Elegant and Romantic Waltz - Fun?
Yea! Thanks to the Trautmans we can now add another dance step to our growing collection as we climb up the beginning dancers' learning curve. Waltz 101 is our fifth Trautman Dvd and it is every bit as good as the other four we've used.
I especially like the organization of instruction(intro/rhythm-timing/connection-style/lead-follow/review)that they have employed across all their 101 Dvd's. It makes for a very clear and easy progression to learn the dance step, and it has proven very useful for easy returns to specific sections of the dvd for repeated study.
Their combined instructional comments are extremely helpful for both partners and are well balanced for both the leader and follower. I enjoy the tasteful decor of their dance studio, the excellent video quality, the nice balance of music audio with their voice instruction, and the excellent camera tracking of their moves with respect to what is being taught at the moment. View it on a large screen tv and you will almost feel like you are right there with them.
The only criticism I can offer is that the Waltz 101 Dvd may not seem as much "fun" as their Swing 101 Dvd that we are concurrently studying. But, I think that just comes with the differences in the rhythms and tempos of the two dances. In contrast, if you are more in the mood to learn how to flow gracefully and elegantly to a dreamy, romantic waltz, rather than to learn the fast footwork and turns of the Swing - then the Trautman's Waltz 101 Dvd will definitely fill the bill. They do their typical great job of teaching all the basics "plus" some extra challenges to get beginners confidently out on the dance floor to have both a "fun and romantic" time dancing.

I learned to Waltz!
"Shawn & Joanna Trautman's Waltz 101 dance lesson video is perfect for beginners and also for anyone who just wants a review of these dance steps. I especially like the way these instructors actually show you and your partner in close-up view exactly where to position your feet and hands during each step of the waltz. I realized while taking this lesson how important these tips are for the overall gracefulness that you see when you watch people do this dance. The way this waltz lesson is presented makes you feel very confident during the learning process. I truly appreciate this encouragement as a beginner!" -Love to dance (US)

"Waltz 101 was a fun project for us to take on. The planning involved reviewing other Waltz DVDs (there are a lot of crappy ones out there), watching YouTube videos (seriously, where do you start and what's good information?), working with a number of instructors on the

different styles and then grouping it all together to make something simple. Our result was a classy and elegant look into the Waltz itself with a great structure for learning this dance from the ground up, literally! We addressed the different styles of Waltz including Ballroom, Country, & social Waltz in general. We covered the commonalities between the different styles and gave a lot of great tips for beginners (different ways to hear & count the music, the right look & style, how to dance with grace, etc.) Anyone who tries this Waltz DVD will be very pleased with their results - you can't help but enjoy this one as it's so practical and a true classic dance that everyone should know!"
