Description

Amazon.com
Learn social dance basic steps and snippets of routines in ballroom, Latin, country/western, wedding, and disco. Instructor Teresa Mason offers practical tips that apply to all social dance: attire, dance etiquette, poise, posture, rhythm, and connection. Then she introduces the basic steps, variations, and styling of 5 different dance styles and 12 different dances within those styles. Elegant, competition dancers in gorgeous costumes present inspiring mini-routines, then demonstrate basic steps--first with leader alone, then leader and partner, and finally to music. There's not much instruction about how to do each step: it's basically watch and imitate. You won't become a fabulous dancer just by following this 80-minute DVD, but you will have a better understanding of social dance, and you'll be more confident about dancing at a wedding or other social occasion--as well as at home with your special partner. --Joan Price

 great for beginners June 13, 2007
The dvd gives lessons in a very easy to understand method. It provides a good basis for going out and having some fun dancing. I suggest using this DVD to learn with your girlfriend or boyfriend.

This dance video is brief viewing of advanced dancing and did not help with learning how to dance. I would not recomend this video. I feel this is money wasted.
 Worst DVD ever November 9, 2006

This DVD did not serve the purpose it was intended for. It fails as an instructional tool no matter what level you are on. If you are a beginner, you will be really dissapointed as this video does not address some of the basic rules of dancing, it is not very detail, and it does not guide you step by step. For those who have some kind of dancing knowledge, you will also find it dissapointing because the moves taught on the video are really basic and not very attractive.

I was more than disappointed in this DVD. As someone with two left feet, I was interested in learning all the different kinds of dance that it advertises.
First, there is almost no instruction. At the beginning of each session they will show the male part for about 5 seconds. You just watch the guy dance. He doesn't even do a simple step more than once! He moves right into intermediate moves. Then add the female part for about 5 seconds and I guess they think you'll know how to dance.
Secondly, no considerable amount of time is spent "practicing." This is related to the first point becuase they show you the step and then move on. There's not a single, "let's try that again." They're great dancers, but I don't know what I'm doing.
I wish I could return this awful excuse for "beginner's dance instruction."
Doesn't actually teach anything November 8, 2004

This video doesn't teach you anything about how to dance. For starters every type of dance is broken up into sections that only last 5 minutes or so. Every move is demonstrated for you very quickly and only twice so that if you can't learn a move within the ten seconds that its shown you have to keep rewinding. To make it worse you are only showed the man's steps and the woman is just told to do the opposite. Trust me, just doing the opposite is not that easy. I can't recommend any other videos because I haven't tried them, but if you have no clue how to do any basic moves, as I don't, Do not waste your money on this DVD.
