Description: The Essential Line Dance series will rapidly increase your line dance knowledge, expertise, and proficiency. Released in October of 2005, Volume 1 of the Essential series contains a variety of line dances that are perfect for anyone who's still fairly new to Line Dancing, yet not a complete beginner. This DVD includes well over an hours worth of instruction on the following fun dances: Cactus Cha-Cha (Neon Moon) - 26 counts; The Cowboy Twist (Hey Bartender) - 28 counts; Redneck Girl - 24 counts; Boardwalk (La Grange) - 24 counts; Ten Step - 24 counts; County Line Cha-Cha (Darlene) - 20 counts; West Coast Shuffle - 32 counts; and more...
Filmed in HD and presented with multiple camera angles and Picture-In-Picture technology, you won't want to miss how easy these dances can be with the right instructor. If you've never danced before, Shawn Trautman's "A Quick Start Guide to Line Dancing" should precede this DVD. Otherwise, this DVD is best complemented! by Essential Line Dances Volume 2.
Recommended Strong recommendation if you are looking for some fun line dances. I have three of his line dance video's and each is well done. Shawn is an excellent instructor and really makes it easy to learn from. I have told several friends of mine about Shawn's video's and will continue spreading the word! Patti
Excellent Instruction I just completed this video and Party Line Dances and really liked it. It moves faster than Line Dance 101 and this time I was ready for it. Shawn is such a great instructor and I highly recommend him. The only thing I wish was different is the music; I wish it was to the actual songs, but i understand why he didn't use them (still wish they were different though).
Somewhat lame This video is nice because it shows you many different camera angles, so if you're a person who has a tough time catching on, that is helpful. However, the dances aren't even taught to good country music and it's hard to adapt the dances to real life. This is a good video if you just want to learn to do them at your own house and dance to the video to get a little exercise.
Easy Line Dancing Taken line dancing? Throw away all you learned and do it the easy way with Shawn Trautman. I keep buying a couple of volumes at a time and amenjoying every minute. I can't understand why anyone wants to make this seem complicated.
Essential Line Dances Great DVD. Shawn's DVD make learning to line dance easy and fun. His methods of instruction get an A+ from this teacher.
