Shawn Trautman – Two Step Basics Vol 2

I wanted to wait until I’d spoken with at least 10 customers who’ve gone through their pre-release versions of the 2-Step Basics. Well, yesterday, I spoke with #10 and I cannot be more pleased with what came of it all.

Jim H. from Texas said “If you can’t dance the 2-step after these lessons, you don’t belong on the dance floor!”, while James B. from Oklahoma stated “These DVDs should be mandatory for everyone, whether you think you know how to 2-step or not!”

Truthfully, 9 out of 10 people were absolutely thrilled with the instruction. What about the other person? Well, I’m glad you asked: the person who didn’t like it said “I had no idea it would be this detailed on the basics. I guess if you didn’t know anything about 2-step it would be perfect, but we’re already dancers. Even though we were bored for a lot of it, we also picked up a number of things we’d never heard before and really liked the practice drills.” So, not a fan, but still one I guess? 🙂 The better news for this guy is that we’re about to release the next set of DVDs, one geared towards people who know how to 2-step and want to take it up a notch.

if you want to be the best 2-step dancer out there, invest a few hours of your time into this series..

Now, my take: I just finished watching the final versions (again) and I’m absolutely satisfied! This is the 3rd time we’ve done a beginner 2-Step Dance video and this time we nailed it. What’s different about this set is that we taught the lessons as though it was the ONLY 2-step dance lessons you’d ever take. That said, we made sure to cover all the ‘little’ things and give you all the practice time that you’d need (we now know that telling someone to practice & practicing with them are two VERY different things – in these DVDs, we make sure you get it!

We start out assuming you know nothing about 2-step and teach you how to dance, step-by-step, literally, until it’s completely in your head. I’m not talking about doing the same thing over and over and over in a boring, monotonous way, I’m talking about mixing things up, coming back to the concepts you just went through, reviewing, adding new stuff, practicing, giving examples, drills, etc., etc. If you’ve never danced the 2-step before or even if you still call yourself a beginner, you’re gonna’ love these DVDs!

In this 3 DVD set on 2-Step, you’ll get over 4 hours of fun, interactive well-thought out lessons that’ll force you to have fun. Truly, once you “GET” this dance, there’s no stopping how much fun you’ll have. Now, that ONLY happens if you really understand what the leader’s roles are and what the followers are supposed to do. It’s absolutely critical & once you’ve seen these DVDs, you’ll understand & insist every dancer you know go through them as well. We even emphasize etiquette, both with your partner & with others on the dance floor (don’t you wish everyone followed the rules?).

My take wouldn’t be complete without saying that if you want to be the best 2-step dancer out there, invest a few hours of your time into this series. It’ll be a prerequisite to the next series that’ll blow you away when it comes to learning moves & patterns. Hope you all enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed making it.
