Country Dancing for Beginners

December 10th, 2011

Product Description
COUNTRY DANCING FOR BEGINNERS – DVD MovieAmazon.com
Country Dancing for Beginners begins with an inspiring demo of how competition-level dancers–Josh Zuniga and Alina Wilson–might style the six dances: country polka, waltz, cha-cha, two-step, East Coast swing, and West Coast swing. Then Zuniga and Wilson demonstrate the basic level of each dance with variations while Teresa Mason’s voice instructs. The “beginner” designation of this video might be misleading. Although the instructors demonstrate basic steps, they move quickly through the dances: five steps, plus a routine putting it all together, of six different dances in 60 minutes. You’ll have to pause the program frequently to practice. True beginners might be intimidated by the pace, and the routine at the end is more intermediate than beginning level. Country Dancing for Beginners will appeal to experienced dancers of other styles of dance who are learning country western for the first time, but are not novice dancers. It’s nicely produced and beautifully danced. –Joan Price

Product Description
Beginners Volume 1 offers the easiest and most thorough instruction for anyone wanting to learn both Single-Time Swing and East Coast Swing, the two most popular versions of Swing dancing. Each volume is professional, easy to follow, designed for beginners and fun for everyone. With nearly 1½ hours of instruction and multiple camera views, Shawn and Joanna Trautman will build your confidence and have you dancing along with them – literally. The design of the curriculum and camera placement for the DVDs allows leaders to do the EXACT movements that Shawn presents, and it allows followers to mimic Joanna in real time without having to turn away from the screen. In addition, you’ll also get to dance each dance with music alongside the instructors at the end of each section.
This beginner DVD covers everything from the history of Swing, how to do Slow Steps, Rock Steps, and Triple Steps, what the footwork is for both leaders and followers, how to properly use the four connection points specifically for Swing, and how to go from one dance position to another to another, seamlessly. You’ll also learn lead and follow elements to each move, what adding lilt to your body means, how to do left turns, right turns, underarm turns, and much more.
With nearly two decades of experience, a number of World Champion students to their credit, and their recently published book “Picture Yourself Dancing”, Shawn and Joanna have perfected the basic elements of each dance while specializing in the leading and following aspects which are extremely hard to find. Shawn and Joanna will demonstrate, explain, and teach you to lead and follow the Swing so you can dance anywhere with anyone, rather than just learning a single step that can only be done with your partner. Once you’re comfortable with this DVD, you’ll want to look into Beginner Volume 2 as it seamlessly adds on to everything you learned here to rapidly gain confidence based on consistency and repetition.
