The design of the curriculum and camera placement for the DVDs allows the leaders to do the EXACT movements that Shawn presents, and it allows the followers to mimic Joanna in real time without having to turn away from the screen.

Shawn and Joanna will demonstrate, explain, and teach you to lead and follow the Two-Step, Swing, West Coast Swing, Polka, and the Triple Two-Step so you can dance anywhere with anyone, rather than just learning a single step that can only be done with your partner. This innovative DVD compilation teaches the basics and the most essential steps for beginners, which is perfect for gift-giving to friends, family, co-workers, or yourself. This DVD is best used as a starting point that will help you quickly accelerate your way through Shawn Trautman’s Dance Collection in its entirety where you’ll have your choice of more than 20 highly-rated full-length beginner dance instruction DVDs.
