Salsa and Bachata at Dave and Buster’s with Dance FX Studios

/in /by

Last night was another evening of fun at Dave and Buster’s in Tempe, Arizona! The Dance FX Studios’ staff  and a large group of students danced out on the roof top patio under the stars for our Night Out Latin dancing. Throughout the evening, the dj played salsa, cha cha, bachata and merengue music for everyone to enjoy! At 8 pm, prior to going to Dave and Buster’s, the Dance FX Staff and students met at the studio for a Latin group class. The students were given tips on how to dance on a crowded floor as well as how to do the basics to several Latin dances. From there, we joined in with over 200 dancers who were already at Dave and Buster’s on the top of the building. Dave and Buster’s in Tempe hosts a Latin dance night each Wednesday for those out there who are looking for a place to practice your salsa and bachata. We found many good dancers were there and that dancers of all levels were accepted and comfortably able to join in on the dance floor.

For most, salsa dancing does not come naturally. That’s where we come in! At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ, we will get you prepared for any social dance floor with the confidence that you need to shine. There are several routes that we offer to help you become a great social dancer. To start, private Latin dance lessons are recommended. With private dance lessons, you will gain the skill set needed to become comfortable in a Latin club dancing salsa, merengue, cha cha. Private dance lessons here at Dance FX Studios are not only tailored for the dances that are of interest to you, but they are also geared for your specific rate of learning and needs. For example, if you have never danced salsa or merengue before, you will learn how to hold your dance partner in a proper dance frame as well as how to use your body weight in addition to learn dance steps. With these key concepts, learning to dance becomes easier. There is no doubt that you will also get better results with healthier habits right from the start.

Many people associate learning to dance with simply memorizing where your feet go, but did you know that, in partner dancing, your feet are the least important part of dancing? This is a little known fact that tends to shock our new students when they first hear of the idea. With private dance lessons at Dance FX Studios, you will learn what actually IS the most important part of your body to use on the dance floor as well as how to use it.

Private dance lessons are available by appointment at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona Monday through Friday from noon to 8 pm and on Saturdays from 11 am to 4 pm. We are located just minutes from Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Scottsdale, AZ for your convenience. We hope to take YOU out Latin dancing one day soon after a few private dance lessons from one of our skilled professionals.
