West Coast Swing for Beginners Volume 2 offers the same great instruction that you found in Volume 1, and then some, as you'll add a number of essential moves and leadable patterns to your repertoire. 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 continue building your confidence as you dance along with them. Just like Volume 1, the design of the curriculum and camera placement for the DVDs allows the leaders to do the EXACT movements that Shawn presents, and 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 get to dance each dance with music alongside the instructors at the end of each section. What you'll learn in WCS for Beginners Volume 2 will stick with you throughout the rest of your dance career. In an easy-to-follow and logical presentation you'll go through several moves originating from the left side pass, then you'll go through several off the underarm pass, a few more to add on to your tuck turns, the two basic whip patterns, and a couple of fun bonus moves that you'll find only in Shawn Trautman?s Dance Collection. As usual, you'll spend enough time learning the lead and follow elements to each move that you'll be able to dance anywhere with anyone, rather than just learning a single step or two that can only be done with your partner. 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. Their demonstrations, explanations, and teaching abilities regarding WCS will impress you and leave you wanting more. This innovative DVD series teaches the basics and the most essential steps for beginners at a slow and steady pace, which is perfect for gift-giving to friends, family, co-workers, or yourself. This DVD is best used in conjunction with Volume 1 to help you quickly accelerate your way through Shawn Trautman?s WCS Dance Collection and/or 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. Owning this DVD is the equivalent of having your own private instruction at home - over and over and over. If you're looking to learn WCS from proven instructors and not just see flashy competition moves that are near impossible to execute, then Beginner Volume 2 is for you. Once you're comfortable, you'll want to look into Intermediate Volume 1 as it seamlessly adds on to everything you learned here in Volume 1. Aprox 90 mins. (2006) DVD-All-Region.
