You’ll soon be dancing the Waltz by working through several rhythm & timing drills both in place & around your practice area to ensure you understand and feel it the way you should. Next, you’ll get ‘hands-on’ as you work your way through the specific Waltz connection points & style tips that help make you look the part! It’s easy to overlook a lot of the detail, so pay attention to the “little things” as you go (i.e., posture, timing, hand positions, flexed knees, rise and fall, where to look, etc.). When you’re ready, you’ll learn & test your skills with several fun moves like the box step, natural turns & right turns you can use with anyone & take to the floor immediately. Plus, you’ll have a full soundtrack of elegant Waltz music playing through the entire lesson that doubles as a practice tool each time you play the lessons – just turn it on and practice until you’re ready to go out.
One of the first Dance videos I have bought from Shawn Trautman. The video is easy to understand and follow along. He has a way of presenting dance instruction that puts a person at ease. Shawn and his wife seemed to love dancing and doing dance instruction. I am impressed and I am learning the Waltz. Another great thing about Shawn is I emailed him about a question on foot work with the waltz. He answered my email right a way. Of course I didn’t explain it well and it took a few more emails to explain my self better. Mr. Trautman treated me with great respect and tried the move with his wife on a Friday evening at his dinner time. That is first class professionalism and the guy really cares about his customers. I would recommend anyone wanting to learn any type of dance to give Shawn’s dance videos a try. You won’t be sorry…
