I have one of the DVD's made by Mr. Trautman and thought I would try the book.The book breaks down all the popular dances out there and makes them easy to do and follow. It has helpful hints on teaching the men how to drive and the women how to follow. It even has clues on what to wear when you go into any of the dance clubs.The book even comes with one of the great Trautman DVDs so it is a true bargin!Great book for the beginner and intermediate dancer.

Read this book and you will feel like you are ready to dance with the stars! These instructors teach the dances in detail with pictures and they lead practice sessions for each dance on the DVD. Their professional approach makes it easy to learn a variety of steps. I like the video included with the book so much that I am now planning to buy some of the other dance DVD's produced by these instructors. It looks to me like this book and anything from the Trautman series of dance videos will be perfect for holiday gifts this year!

Picture Yourself Dancing is a perfect partner for the Learn to Dance Series of DVD lessons offered by Shawn and Joanna Trautman. These professionals provide a logical approach to learning all of the dance steps. In this book, they include a comprehensive history of each dance, as well as step-by-step instructions for the dances. The video included with the book shows you the way each dance should look and it helps you to develop your own individual dancing style. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning the total dance "picture". The vivid action photos and suggestions for dance attire inspire you to actually imagine yourself on the dance floor. Buy this book for anyone who loves to dance or who would like to learn, and include it as a companion to the Shawn Trautman Learn to Dance Series of DVD's!

I have a little dance back ground but my husband to be has 2 left feet. He's a very analytical and logical learner whereas I am a visual learner.This book was perfect. It explained the how's, what's and why's of dancing. It teaches how to lead and follow in the simplest way.Along with the video it was the best way for my husband and I to learn how to dance for our wedding- and we looked great on the dance floor!! Great book for the beginner dancer!

Great literature on the history of dance. Great word discriptions on the steps but no foot pattern diagrams. The enclosed DVD is Couples Ultimate Dance Sampler which I already own. The DVD's are very good. All of the dances covered in the book are in one or the other of their several DVD's. If you have the DVD's you don't need the book
