From the Actor
Not only are these dances fast, but they'll flat wear you out. The 96-count Hip Hop Line Dance alone is one of the most requested dances in Shawn's classes as it's just so, dang, hard... for most people, that is. It seems so simple the way its taught, as do all of these dances. The hard part is to keep them in your long-term memory and that's what Shawn focuses on while taking you through these dances. You'll get plenty of practice time as the dances are build piece by piece and you continue to stack what you've learned until you have each dance. If you're looking for something fun to do and you're no rookie to line dancing, you deserve to give these dances a try. Take a deep breath!

Customer Reviews

Finally Learned the Dance!!!
I have seen the Hip Hop Line Dance out in the clubs, and I attempted to learn it there. I finally broke down and purchased Shawn Trautman's Smokin' Line Dances, so I could learn the dance at home. Shawn does an excellent job with the Hip Hop Line Dance, and with all the other dances on the video. Shawn explains things so thoroughly that it makes them seem easy-which helps boost your confidence as you learn.

Yes, I can do this!!
These dances are indeed complicated. But as he does in other DVD's, Shawn presents the steps in segments that can be easily learned, and he encourages you to repeat them over and over to make sure you've mastered them.

No newbies!
Newbies steer clear! These dances may be complicated enough to make you look like a pro on the dance floor, but they require some practice to master. Fortunately, these dances are fun, so practicing isn't a chore. I appreciate that Shawn likes to provide alternative steps where appropriate, so I can be creative and still be in time to the rhythm. Newbies, take a look at Shawn's Party Line Dances.
