Swing Dancing for Beginners Vol. 2 Video

Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 2 offers the perfect follow-up of the thorough instruction presented in Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 1.

Anyone who's comfortable with the basics and the understanding of leading and following will find this DVD to be a necessity for rapidly increasing your Swing knowledge. 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. 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 leadable patterns such as the Ladies Inside Turns, the Guy's Inside Turns, Wraps, Fake Wraps, Behind the Back Hand Changes, Tuck-Turns, Touchbacks, and a number of other fun and easy tips for the leaders and followers that you'll only find in Shawn Trautman's collection.

Taught at a slow and steady pace for beginners, this DVD is perfect for gift-giving to friends, family, co-workers, or yourself. This DVD is best used after Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 1 and before Swing Dancing for Intermediate Dancers Volume 1.

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 more about leading and following the Swing so you can dance anywhere with anyone, rather than just learning a single step that can only be done with your partner. As you've experienced from Volume 1, these DVDs are the equivalent of having your own private instruction at home. If you're looking to add on to everything you learned in Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 1, then Beginner Volume 2 is the absolute next step for you. Once you've completed the series, you'll want to check out 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.
