If you’re new to Swing Dancing or a beginner altogether, you’re in luck as this video is easy to follow and loads of fun whether you’re young, older, or anywhere in between! You’ll practice for hours with inspiring lessons from the best possible views and instructors that get you dancing along with them… literally!

Now, this isn’t some fancy-schmancy ‘move-after-move’ video lesson that loses you from the get-go. It’s the kind of instruction you’d get if you found the very best teacher in your area and REALLY got them to focus on just YOU for the entire lesson. You’ll know more than just how to do the basics, you’ll get a bit of history of Swing, how to do all the steps, what the footwork is for both leaders and followers, how to use connection points to your advantage, and how to go from one move to another to another, seamlessly.

In addition, you’ll get Shawn’s exclusive tips that make this dance wildly successful! There’s little things like body positioning, how to do left & right turns, underarm turns, and much more that you’ll only find on this video. With nearly two decades of experience, a number of World Champion students to their credit, and their book “Picture Yourself Dancing”, 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.

At the age of 28 I had never been taught any form of dance. At social gatherings whether it be a school dance, wedding/anniversary, country music bar, military ball, or even an underground punk rock show, I was always on the sideline watching other people have fun and never knowing that the one form of dance could have me completely covered every occasion until I got this video. By the time I finished the Swing Dancing Volume 1 video I had learned enough to go out and dance at virtually any venue from mild to wild. The video begins with teaching you not only the basic steps, but also how to use the steps to any variety of music styles and speeds in a way that’s simple to understand, even if you happen to be one of those people who has a problem staying with the beat of music. In addition to the in depth step by step instruction, throughout the video Shawn adds many helpful hints along the way to help guys with the lead like keeping your partner’s mind occupied by doing the left, right, and underarm turns he demonstrates. Joanna also chimes in with helpful tips for the ladies from the followers perspective and makes sure that the followers have just as in depth step by step demonstration as the leaders receive from Shawn. The only flaw this video had was that when the camera zoomed in on some parts of the instruction it used a digital zoom which causes a bit of clarity loss, but it does not the degrade the excellent quality of the lessons taught (which is what really matters), so I still give this video a 5 Star rating. I’d recommend at least getting the Beginners Volume 2 Swing as well because you’ll learn all the basics in this video fairly quick and want to start trying the more fancy turns, spins, wraps, and other moves to come in Volume 2. – AK Hunter
