This is by far the worst dance CD Ive seen and I own several. Trautman overtalks everything and makes all the moves much more difficult than they really are. Im a teacher myself with a degree in physical education and computers and have taken and taught many classes on teaching physical activities. This tape is very frustrating to watch and learn from. The only way you can get anything out of it is to watch it with the sound off so you dont have to hear the nonstop over complicated talk! I think hes trying to impress us with his chatter rather than teach dance. I have other tapes with the same moves and it takes 1/10 the time to learn the moves from them with no frustration and its actually fun! Gary in Texas.

Not knowing much about country dancing, we didn’t know what to expect with this DVD. We were very pleased. Shawn’s teaching style was great as it has been on all of his DVDs so far. We surprised ourselves with how easily we learned the Barn Dance and the other couples dances taught and we really enjoyed the two-step and swing lessons. We have since taken up country dancing and we were glad we started with this one.

This is the second DVD I have bought from the Trautman’s series. My fience’ and I are preparing for our wedding and will be able to use several of these steps during the night. I can’t believe we are having fun learning together instead of being frustrated with each other. Shawn breaks the steps down in such a way that we picked most of it up easily. (we’re still practicing) Worth it.

Living near an area where country music is king, I always wanted to know what the big fuss was about with country dancing, especially couples dancing. When I went out to a country western club, the couples line dances were AMAZING, but when I tried to catch on in the club, it just wasn’t working. I searched all over to find DVDs like this one, and really there aren’t many. When I found this one (I’ve bought from Shawn’s series before) I was thrilled because I knew that he was a great instructor and already taught me quite a bit. After practicing for awhile, I went out to the same club and fit in really well! I even got a few compliments from my dance partners saying how fabulous I looked on the dance floor! If you want to dance the night away in the country club, this DVD is for you!

My aunt and uncle are in their late 60’s and took up line dancing at the community center about a year ago. Now they attend 3 times a week and sometimes help teach the classes.
As a gift, I decided to buy them a copy of this DVD and they absolutely love it. They haven’t heard of amazon.com before and are now asking me where they can get more dances. Fortunately, I was able to search and find more DVDs from the same instructors.
I couldn’t believe it as they were using just the step sheets to try to learn the dances. Since they had past experience dancing other dances, they were able to easily pick up the lessons in this DVD after just a couple times through. Now they’re even shopping at the local western store for shirts, hats, etc. and have been going to the Country Western night clubs once a week in addition to the community center.
Many thanks to Shawn and Joanna for creating theses DVDs and helping me give the perfect Xmas gift to someone I had no clue what to get!
