Customer Reviews

Great sampler, nicely done
Nicely done, - for beginners you'll learn the basic step of each dance, Shawn & his partner break down the step into its parts in a easy-to-follow format - for advanced beginners, it's a good refresher DVD.
I'm a single male with 1 year's ballroom & Latin lessons under my belt. I use the DVD for practice without a partner before going out to dance.

Simply the Best!
I'm so glad I ordered Dance Lessons 101 and am impressed by how simple it was to follow. Shawn Trautman lives up to his reputation in this one of being one of the best instructors. He and his wife are very patient and certainly know what it means to teach beginners. Overall, great instructions - we loved it and will continue ordering more. BRAVO!
