Two-Step Moves & Patterns Volume 6 (Shawn Trautman Dance Instruction)



Moves & Patterns - Vol 6
Moves and Patterns Vol 6--WOW! The material in Trautman's video is really good stuff. Trautman/Frye present a series of moves with inside and outside turns starting out of the promenade position, working through torques and open releases, and eventually incorporate a windmill maneuver. When Frye, a national champion, pauses, looks at the camera, and says of the windmill maneuver, "it looks really fancy", you know you can take that to the bank! In his usual style, Trautman patiently walks you through the leads for each move, giving specific instructions for body/hand/foot positioning, which ultimately means you CAN lead this (guys), and follow this (gals) very successfully. On the back end of the video there is bonus material to challenge you. This material gives you an opportunity to come back, once you have the basic leads and steps down, to refine the moves in the pattern to produce an even more fluid and polished look.

I'm not saying that my dance partner and I...

Limited moves and impractical manuever.
I am very disappointed in this dance dvd due to the limited number of items taught and the impracticality of the arm movements being taught in section 3. I have danced country western two step for a long time, but gotten rusty and wanted to brush up on turns and moves. This dvd has basically only one pattern with a couple of options and some arm manuevers at the end that look sloppy on the dvd and would be impossible to lead, especially to fast music. I hope I can return this even after viewing it.
