Movie Reviews of Dance Lessons 101: The Basics and Beyond
Movie Review: I'm Convinced!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I wanted to dance at his best friend's wedding this last weekend and not make fools of ourselves. We practiced at home over the last month with Dance Lessons 101 and I told him that if it worked, I'd be the first to tell everyone I knew - so here goes.
It worked!!!
We had a blast at the reception and had 4 (yes, 4!!) compliments on how good we looked and how much fun we were having (this never happens to us). This was HUGE for my husband's confidence and I can tell you he was just soaking it up. We danced a good 10 dances that night, which is more than we've danced in the last 5 years. Oh, and Swing is now his "favorite dance".
This video was our first time trying to dance together and we quickly saw how much we had to learn. We liked how it started out with a number of things that are important for all dances. It was a good way to get us started without the steps. We liked doing it on video, too, because we had to stop a few times and practice and talk through what we were learning. Overall, there were so many things we liked and only a few we thought could be improved. Here are my notes -
Pros: excellent instruction; easy to see and follow; down to earth instructors; a lot less than private lessons; convenient; information that made sense; a good flow to the lessons; a lot of information; instruction was done in a small space similar to what we learned in; two hours of lessons; good variety of dances; the fact that we learned without anyone watching us!
Cons: not enough practice time to music; there were a few times we had questions and couldn't ask anyone.
Overall, we were thrilled with what we got out of this DVD and will definitely be buying more of Shawn's videos. If you're looking for a great value and easy dance lessons, give this one a try. I'm convinced that if it worked for us, it can work for anyone!
Movie Review: Wish we had this before taking private lessons
Summary: 5 Stars
I've now told several of my friends they should watch this video before taking private lessons. Having spent over $1K in lessons in the last month, I was more than surprised to see how much we picked up by going through these lessons. Shawn and his partner are surprisingly clear with their instructions and very straightforward about the lessons. We found it not only helpful, but encouraging as we feel like we can actually get out and dance now. I've already ordered several other of Shawn's DVDs and am looking forward to them! Movie Review: Great beginners introduction to dances.
Summary: 5 Stars
The dance instruction is clear and the photography shows the steps from more that one direction. It's a great overview to the different dances to help you pick out which dances you want to focus on and then buy the specific instruction cd for that dance. I like their style of instruction.Movie Review: Fun and Easy!

My husband and I are enjoying learning a few steps of a variety of dances. It's just enough to make you want to buy more!Movie Review: Great for preparing for your first dance!
Summary: 5 Stars
With all of the other wedding expenses, our dance lessons with a personal instructor fell out of the budget. We decided to at least get an instructional DVD to help us out. We have had a great time learning to slow dance and will have a lot more confidence on the day of the wedding. This DVD is a collection of a number of dances. Because we wanted to focus specifically on the slow dance - we ended up ordering another one of Shawn's DVD that was all slow dance instruction. Shawn and his wife are great instructors. I feel like we should almost invite them to the wedding!
