I'm in the process of updating my personal thoughts on the Wedding Starter Pack. Thanks for your patience as I provide my candid point of view on my dance lessons.

Shawn put together this series of DVDs specifically for anyone getting ready for an event where social dancing is planned. Shawn reccomends learning the DVDs in the following order to achieve maximum results in minimum time:

• Dance Lessons 101
• Party Line Dances
• Slow Dancing for Beginners V1
• Swing Dancing for Beginners V1

"I highly recommend this DVD for beginner dancers who want to get moving in a social dance setting. Shawn and Joanna break down the steps in a way that is easy to follow, even if you've never danced before. I've been dancing a little over a year, and I had done some of these dances before. Even for those I had done before, it was a good review. The slow dance is especially helpful for weddings, parties or anywhere there is slow dancing and you want to do more than just sway side to side." S. Newhaul

Key features of the DVDs include multiple camera angles, picture-in-picture formatting, practice time with music alongside the instructors for each dance, and an extensive library of dances that will keep you busy for hours.
