Swing Dancing for Beginners Vol. 1 DVD Video
Swing Dancing for 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 in the series is
professional, easy to follow, designed specifically for beginners and fun
for everyone. With nearly 1½ hours of instruction, multiple camera views,
and an easy navigational menu, 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 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. In
addition to learning along with the instructors with split-screen
formatting, 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 the dances, 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 the 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,
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: Step-by-Step Instruction for Ballroom, Latin,
Country, and More”, 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. This innovative DVD series teaches the basics and the most
essential steps for beginners at a slow and steady pace, 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 Swing Dance Collection and/or Shawn
Trautman’s Dance Collection in its entirety where you’ll have your choice
of more than 20 highly-rated full-length dance instruction DVDs. Owning
this DVD is the equivalent of having your own private instruction at home
– over and over and over. If you’re looking to learn to Swing Dance from
proven instructors and not just see flashy competition moves that are near
impossible to execute, then Beginner Volume 1 is for you. 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 in Volume 1 to rapidly
gain confidence based on consistency and repetition. Aprox 90 mins. (2006)
