About the Actor
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 go beyond mere dance steps as Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 2 teaches body placement, partner communication, and other tips and tricks every beginner should know. Shawn and Joanna will demonstrate, explain, and teach you to lead and follow Swing so you can dance anywhere with anyone, rather than just learning a single step that can only be done with your partner.

Customer Reviews

PERFECT BY ITSELF OR TRANSITION FROM VOLUME 1
Swing Volume 2 is just as good as a standalone as it is to a supplement to volume 1. If you've been swing dancing a couple times already and have the basic steps down from a couple free lessons at the clubs, then this is the DVD you will be using the most. I had someone try to teach me the tuck turns and wraps, but the instruction wasn't nearly as good as how I found it on this DVD.

It's almost 90 minutes of quality lessons which typically cost 4-5 times as much in a live environment. This is definitely a wise purchase for someone wanting to learn in the privacy of their own home.

My personal favorite part was being able to do all the moves in synch with Shawn & Joanna at the end of each lesson.

Learn great new moves
I really loved this DVD. As I currently know how to do basic swing dance moves, this tape helped me add "color" to my swing dancing ability. This tape begins by a short review of the basic swing dance steps and then moves quickly into more advanced dance steps. Each new move is shown first, then broken down into parts, allowing the viewer to perfect each dance step before moving onto the next one. Get this DVD if you want to shine on the dance floor!
