This was simply the best DVD that I have watched to help me learn the basic steps of line dancing so that I could go out to the country bars and confidently perform the dances with the group. The DVD starts out with Shawn Trautman explaining to the watcher as if it is your first time doing the dances and takes you from the basic steps to performing the dances most commonly seen today in the bars.
Nice things about the Shawn Trautman series are the fact that he is extremely well spoken and really knows how to teach. Also, the quality is very professional and even shows a split screen of his feet to make a few of the more complicated moves much easier to follow. I didn't have to rewind or review a chapter more than once as it was a good enough pace for me to absorb all the information.
Next on my list are the Essential Line Dances series and the Smokin Line Dances series. They have a lot more of the line dances that are used to today and although a little more complicated, I am confident that this series is the best one to learn them in the privacy of my own home.
