This DVD is best used as a starting point that will help you quickly accelerate your way through Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection in its entirety where you'll have your choice of more than 20 highly-rated full-length beginner 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 to dance from proven instructors and not just see flashy moves that are impossible to execute, then the Dance Sampler series is for you.
