Reap the Rewards, Start Dancing Today!

/in /by

Phoenix danceStarting to dance early in life can have some of the same physical and mental benefits as dancing at any age, but there are also some additional advantages to beginning dance lessons early on. Children can even start as young as 2 ½ to 3 years of age, but it is completely different from child to child, and depends on their own development level.

During this younger stage in life, kids can still benefit immensely from dancing. Children can learn to move safely and with confidence, which includes coordination, balance, spatial awareness, and general body control. In addition to fine motor movement, this will help keep a child active and create a healthy lifestyle early on.

Aside from the physical development benefits, children can grow in creative development too. Their imagination and communication of ideas through movement can begin to unfold when they are little. Another development area includes personal, social, and emotional development. These are some of the more obvious things like enjoying themselves, working individually and as a group, developing trust, interacting with a new group, and exploring their feelings.

Since you are reading this, I know you are not a little 2-3 year old kid. However, you can still reap the same and even more benefits than a child could by starting dancing now. Some additional physical benefits, other than coordination and balance, consist of flexibility, endurance, muscle and strength, and many others. Within the personal, social, and emotional realm, you can have improved sense of well-being, reduced stress and tension, increased self-confidence, and improved social-skills.

If you are interested in unleashing some of these benefits for yourself, visit Dance FX Studios located in Mesa, Arizona. Dance FX Studios offers group and private social dance lessons.

Join the Zumba® Fitness Party!

/in /by

Zumba mesa

If you haven’t tried a Zumba® Fitness class yet, you need to go out and try one today! Zumba is a great way to get into shape while expressing and challenging yourself at the very same time. It is unlike any traditional way of exercising that will leave you feeling like you have just had the best workout ever.

Do not feel intimidated if you have not done a Zumba® Fitness class and would like to participate. With Zumba you are able to move at your own pace and do the basic moves until you become more familiar and comfortable with some of the dance steps. It can be a gradual improvement where you challenge yourself to get to that next level of complicated dance steps. Another nice thing about Zumba is that you do not need any special equipment or clothes. What you have at home will most likely work.

The best thing about Zumba® is probably the exhilarating and fun environment that you get to work out in. Many people refer to Zumba as a party instead of actual exercise. The combination of fast and slow rhythmic movements will feel like you are just dancing the night away at a club with some friends rather than in the studio working out. Why don’t you join the craze that more than 12 million people enjoy every week? You may just find your favorite workout routine.

Zumba® Fitness classes are held at Dance FX Studios in Mesa three days a week: Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 pm and Saturday mornings at 10 am. If you are a newcomer to at Dance FX Studios check out our “5 for $25” promotion at https://ev2.8dc.myftpupload.com/zumba-classes-mesa-az/

Rehabilitation, One Step at a Time

/in /by

ballroom dancing mesa azDid you know that Ballroom dancing could help you with rehabilitation? If you or someone you know has recently had surgery, specifically heart, knee, or one that requires movement for rehabilitation, you can use Ballroom dancing as an alternative to other forms of exercise to strengthen your muscles.

With knee surgery, after the initial phase of physical therapy right after surgery, the physical therapist will likely instruct you on stretching and strengthening your muscles around the knee. Ballroom dancing can help with both stretching and strengthening of your muscles while being low-impact on your joints as well. On The Knee Society’s website, they even recommend Ballroom dancing as a suitable activity.

At Flagstaff Medical Center, they use monthly Ballroom dance classes as part of their Cardiac Rehabilitation program. Heart patients get a great support network along with some aerobic activity to help improve their balance, stamina, and mental acuity. Another reason why Ballroom dancing is good for cardiac rehabilitation comes from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. According to them, dancing can lower your risk of coronary heart disease and decrease blood pressure.

So if you are looking for a fun way to get your body back after rehabilitation, you should try Ballroom dancing! It is not as monotonous as walking or some other exercises may be, so you may enjoy yourself. After all don’t we deserve something to enjoy in life? Although this method may work for others, it may not be right for your condition and recovery. Please check with your doctor before doing anything that may re-injure your body.

If you are able and allowed to use Ballroom dancing as a form of rehabilitation, and you live in the East Valley, visit Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona. Dance FX Studios offers private Ballroom dancing lessons that let you move at your pace. Try our Introductory Offer for private classes.

How about delaying memory loss and the process of aging, while having a good time as well? Ballroom dancing can do just that. It will keep your mind sharp along with many other physical and mental anti-aging benefits.

The unique combination of mind, body, and spirit that ballroom dancing requires is the perfect combination for a great anti-aging secret.

All of which are things that change with aging. She further expressed the psychological benefits of social dancing as well. She found increased communication, social engagement, and positive feelings emerged from social dancing.

There are many studies out there that have unlocked the numerous health benefits, including mental and physical, of ballroom dancing. So if you start now, or even while you are a child, you can delay the signs of the aging process that so many of us fear. Even if you are not currently seeing any signs of aging, you can still help out your mind, body, and soul through ballroom dancing.

Some specific results you may see from ballroom dancing include stronger bones, slower heart rate, lower blood pressure, improved cholesterol profile, improved agility, improved posture, strengthened muscles, increased stamina, and mental health, among many other possible benefits.

Salsa class Tempe AZPut some pep in your step with Salsa dance lessons. Salsa dancing is a part of the Latin dance family that has playful and passionate feeling to it. Surprisingly, believe it or not, Salsa dancing will help with your balance and coordination. The reason why this is, is because of the constant shifting of weight and other movements associated with Salsa dancing.

If you are particularly clumsy or do not have very good coordination in your movements, Salsa dancing can help you gain confidence in these areas as well. Previously stiff and maybe even awkward movements will be able to be more fluid and flow gracefully with the help of the quick changes in body positioning done in Salsa dancing.

Along with balance and coordination, Salsa dancing can help make you more confident about yourself and with your self-expression. The sensuality of the dance that comes from the energetic and even sexy movements that are associated with Salsa dancing may become apparent in your demeanor as well.

There are many other benefits to Salsa dancing, ranging from physical, mental, and even spiritual. The benefits you may receive from Salsa dancing may not be the same as everyone else’s, so why don’t you see for yourself what Salsa dancing can do for you.
