Lucky for you, you’re up for the challenge as you’ve either completed Swing for Beginners 1 & 2 or you’re an accomplished dancer already. There’s plenty of fun and refreshing combinations that include more advanced techniques and turns based on the extensive set of moves you already know. This dance lesson shows you how you give those moves the “WOW” factor and really impress your partners or your audience as the complexity goes up at the same rate as your confidence.

Swing Dancing for Intermediate Dancers Volume 1 extends the thorough instruction that’s trademark to the Shawn Trautman Dance Collection. As is the norm, this video is easy to follow and provides hours of fun for anyone ready to pick up the pace and really heat up the dance floor. With clear instruction, multiple camera views, and an excellent curriculum, Shawn and Joanna Trautman get you moving the moment you hit play. Filmed and presented with multiple camera angles and Picture-in-Picture technology, you will be surprised at just how easily you learn with the right instruction. In addition to just learning the steps, you’ll also get to dance each of the moves with music alongside the instructors at the end of each section.

Shawn Trautman’s Swing Dancing Intermediate Volume 1 is a definite must have. What I found most useful were the moves taught from hand change positions like the shoulder roll and pretzel which enable me to keep dancing with style in between hand changes instead of just going back and forth from one hand change to the next. Other moves like the inside turn and outside turn he/she added further complexity to what I could do by showing how to execute simultaneous moves by the leader and follower. I believe this DVD is appropriately labeled Intermediate because you’ll need a bit more experience and balance to be able to do some of the moves, so if you have little or no experience swing dancing make sure you can handle the material in the Swing Dancing Beginners Volume 2 before you dive into this lesson. The moves are still laid out nicely, step by step, as in the Beginner DVDs with tips for both leaders and followers throughout. Since I bought the 3 disc Swing Dancing set I’ve learned in a relatively short period of about a month all the material from Beginners Volume 1 to the Intermediate Volume 1 and I’ve gone from barely being able to do the basic steps of swing dancing to dancing to blues, country, and rock and roll in bars and big band music at ballroom events. From a guys perspective take my word for it, if you make it through this DVD you won’t be spending any songs sitting down by a dance floor once the ladies see what you can do. – AK Hunter
