Rave Reviews
  • "I was inspired to learn line dancing when I saw all my relatives doing it at my nephew's wedding reception. I wanted be up there with them. I got Shawn Trautman's Line Dancing 101 DVD and now I'm ready! He makes it so easy to learn. He takes you step by step, just at the right tempo. He shows the steps from different angles so you don't have to guess if you're doing it right. He took me easily from from one dance to another and I got a great workout. I'm 64 years old, and I only wish I had found Shawn Trautman earlier."
    -Isadora (CA) Line Dance 101

  • "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!!"
    -D. Daugherty (GA) Party Line Dances

  • "My favorite thing about Shawn Trautman's DVD's is the instruction provided individually for the leaders and the followers, so that each person learns what they should be doing."
    -M.C. (Florida)

  • "Great DVD. Shawn's DVD make learning to line dance easy and fun. His methods of instruction get an A+ from this teacher."
    -C.S. Boyd Essential Line Dances

  • "These dances are indeed complicated. But as he does in other DVDs, Shawn presents the steps in segments that can be easily learned and he encourages you to repeat them over and over to make sure you've mastered them.."
    -R. Jenkins (FL) Smokin' Line Dances

  • "Wow, we really liked this one! This one gives a number of specific dances to go through with a partner that are like line dances for couples. The Sweetheart Schottische and the Ten Step are fun to do and are the same dances they do here where we are. We found the instruction to be very easy to learn from and liked the speed of the teaching."
    -R. Sheldon (KY) Hot Country Dancing for Couples

  • "I have many swing dance DVD's at home but this one is by far the best. The instructor breaks down each step, arm position, and dance position into its most basic form allowing a person who has never danced before to master the basics. Each step is repeated many times so that there is no need to stop and replay each section. Split camera angles are used effectively to show the proper position of each partner. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who has no prior experience in dance."
