About The Sensual Argentine Tango

/in /by

rsz_1rsz_dsc06101Argentine Tango is a beautiful dance to learn, but it can look quite intimidating from a beginner’s point of view.  We don’t want you to feel afraid to learn something new, so here are three reasons why you should take Argentine Tango Dance Lessons with us at Dance FX Studios, in Mesa Arizona.

The Argentine Tango is a very intimate dance. Argentine Tango Dance Lessons are a great way for you and your spouse to spice things up in your relationship! Or if you are just beginning a new relationship, Tango dancing is a great hobby to discover together. It is one that the both of you will have for years to come. Since you are so close together while dancing, you get to explore the chemistry between the two of you that was either lost over the years, or has yet to be discovered. How exciting! The female, or follower, in this dance really has to focus on trusting their partner. When there is trust involved, the both of you get to establish a new and deeper level in your relationship.

What is also so great about Argentine Tango is the community that surrounds this dance. There are many events called “Milongas” that are held specifically for Tango dancers. You will get to meet people who have danced the Tango here in Arizona for so long they are considered masters, as well as new friends just like you who are beginner Tango dancers.  If you go out Tango dancing,  you can also meet a potential dance partner. With the confidence that you will feel after a series of  Private Argentine Tango Dance Lessons at our studio, you can begin mingling with others who also love this special dance. The possibilities of meeting all sorts of interesting people are endless when it comes to dancing.

The Argentine Tango is all about being close to your partner and creating a sensual and sexy look. With Private Dance Lessons at our studio you get to discover your sensual side and make a connection with whoever you get the chance to dance with. If you don’t think you can be sexy, you are so wrong! Our instructors have every answer to your questions and can teach you everything you need to know to look confident while dancing the Argentine Tango. All you need to do is show up for your dance lessons and getting involved in the community, and soon enough others will see you dancing, and the rest is history!

So instead of feeling scared or intimidated by other Argentine Tango dancers, come in and join us for an Introductory Argentine Tango Dance Lesson and experience how beautiful of a dance Tango really is. Bring a partner if you would like, but if you don’t have one, do not let that stop you from learning. We can teach you, and soon enough you will be enjoy this dance of love and passion for yourself.

rsz_1rsz_dsc05441Tomorrow is the first official day of the fall season this year and what better way to spend the cool nights ahead than to start social dance lessons with your significant other? At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we can help you and your one and only discover a great hobby that can be used throughout this chilly season and beyond! With so many popular social dances to explore, from Country Two Step dancing to Swing dancing and Salsa dancing, you can’t go wrong!

Couple’s Private Dance Lessons with our studio is a great way to warm up this fall. If you hate the cold as much as I do, then you will be looking for any way to escape it, and couple’s dance lessons can be just the distraction you need.  That is why we think it is such a great hobby to start now. With Country Dance Lessons or Salsa Dance Lessons, you and your partner can dance the night away at almost any club in Arizona before long. Or, if you tend to stay indoors, you can push the couches out of the way and dance in the living room. Country Two Step dancing, and even Salsa dancing, hardly takes up any space at all, so no worries if your “dance floor” is small. And, if you have a fire place, you can even create a very romantic environment to dance in. What a great way to warm up! 🙂

Once you know how to Country or Latin dance, you can also find new Country bars and Latin clubs in Phoenix that have plenty of other couples Country Two Stepping into the night! It’s fun to meet other couples with similar interests, and dancing is a great hobby to share with new friends.  For a more intimate evening, you can plan a date night after your Latin Dance Lesson at our studio and grab something to eat after the lesson is over, or maybe catch a movie. How fun!

We all know what is about to come in the following months, tons and tons of holiday shopping and preparing. If the two of you want to learn something new together before the hectic holiday season, then now is the perfect time to start. If there is a holiday work event that involves any kind of dancing, you will be totally prepared to get on the dance floor together. Once Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas rolls around, you will find yourself barely getting enough time together as a couple. If you want to take a break from making costumes or wrapping gifts, find a way to dance together with Couple’s Dance Lessons. Even if it is just for an hour here and there,  you’ll be able to take a breather, enjoy some one-on-one time and take a break from the chaos around you.

Enjoy the weather, have a cup of hot chocolate, and give social dance lessons a try with your true love this fall. If you need to prepare, for an upcoming event, we can help you out with that too so you can discover a great new hobby that will keep you connected for years to come.

Making Your Wedding Day Special With A Customized First Dance

/in /by

rsz_1rsz_dsc05409So your soulmate recently got down on one knee and popped the question. Of course you say YES! as you cry tears of joy, but now you have a lot to think about when it comes to planning your wedding. Whether your wedding is three months from now or two years from now, you will need a unique and memorable first dance as a married couple, no doubt. Here at Dance FX Studios in the Phoenix East Valley, we can help relieve some of your wedding day stress with Wedding Dance Lessons. We teach many different styles to our brides and grooms, but here are some of our favorites.

If you’re a southern lady, or gentleman, then you may be more drawn to a Country themed Wedding Dance. We love Country Dancing for wedding couples as Country dancing has been trendy for several years now. If you want something fun and upbeat, then Country Swing may be just the dance for you! The Country Swing is fun and exciting as a dance, and will surely get your friends and family on their feet for you! In your Wedding Dance Consultation with us at Dance FX Studios, you can even try out the basics of  Country Swing dancing to see if it suits you. Country Two Step dancing for your wedding dance would be another great option if you want something a little slower, but still crowd pleasing.  Whichever Country dance you choose for your first dance, you’re going to want to change into your Cowboy boots beforehand to get into character for your special dance. 🙂

If you’re looking for something more traditional and romantic, we can also teach you to Waltz or learn another slow dance called the Nite Club Two Step. Your first dance will look classy, and you will still have a great time doing it. A lot of couples lean towards doing these types of dances because they are sweet and simple dances for your wedding. Most importantly, you get to enjoy each other and stare into each other’s eyes as husband and wife for the first time. Both the Waltz and the Nite Club Two Step are great if you are having a traditional wedding on your special day.

If your personality is a little more “out there” then we know that an unexpected dance that includes your bridesmaids and groomsmen is a cool surprise for your guests. Add a surprise element can really liven things up a bit at your wedding by having your best girlfriends and buddies learn a choreographed dance together. What a great way to create more memories with your friends! You could do something creative like a flash mob that is pre-planned and perfectly executed, with Wedding Dance Lessons, of course. These surprise routines have becoming very popular and are even trending on the internet. Who knows, maybe you and your wedding party will become YouTube famous! It really shocks your audience and will have them doubled over in laughter (in a GOOD way) while they watch you, your new husband and your wedding party do the moon walk, Hip Hop dancing, or whatever you can think up. We love a new challenge!

Let us help you choose a one-of-a-kind wedding dance that is customized for you. The team at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ can plan out your dream wedding dance to give you a wedding to remember.

Discover These Top Three Popular Social Dances in Arizona!

/in /by

rsz_1rsz_1dsc05535You may be wondering what kind of social dances are right for you. Will it be Swing dancing, Salsa dancing or maybe a little Country Two Step dancing will tickle your fancy!  At Dance FX Studios, we can turn you into a great social dancer in these dance styles and more! That way, when you come in for your Introductory Private Dance Lesson, you will get to explore all of the cool and useful dances that you need to know if you live here in Arizona.

Salsa dancing, you have to have it! It’s sexy, fast paced, playful and intimate. If you are looking to spice things up in your relationship, then Salsa Dance Lessons are a great way to start. A steamy dance where you are being held close can spark whatever you’re missing between you and your partner. If you’re single and looking to meet someone new, a night out Salsa dancing can create a great environment to do just that. You can meet friends who like the same type of music dance style. How fun is that!? In the future, you will always have the option of going out together and never have to argue about where to go. 🙂

Swing dancing is another popular social dance style of dance here in Arizona. There are many different types of Swing dances, but we have a few favorites here at Dance FX Studios. With Jitterbug or Country Swing Dance Lessons, you can see how great it is to know how to Swing dance. Beginner’s Swing dancing, from West Coast Swing to Jitterbug is very exciting and can be complimented by all styles of Jazz music, Big Band, Rock and Roll and even Hip Hop music! It’s great to Swing dance where there is live music, so be sure to look for local places to go Swing dancing in Phoenix.

Country Swing is less bouncy, but still just as fun! All of the newest Country songs you hear on the radio can mostly likely be danced to with Country Swing steps or Country Two Step dance moves.

This brings us to our last, but not least, popular social dance, the Country Two Step. Country Two Step dancing is the most asked for style these days. There are so many styles of the Two Step, but we teach the one we think is easiest and works best for a social dance floor, Arizona Two Step. Also known as Rhythm Two Step, the Arizona Two Step is the best Two Step that we have found that works for a real world situation. The Arizona Two Step is a medium paced dance that is easy to learn and can be used on any dance floor. Even though it is a traveling dance, our instructors can teach you everything you need to know to keep your partner from bumping into other couples with a few Country Two Step Dance Lessons. As mentioned above, just like the Country Swing, the Country Two Step can be danced to almost any current Country music. This is what people like most because bar deejays tend to play current music.

Have you picked a favorite social dance style yet? If you can’t decide, then let us help you out with our New Student Offer for an Introductory Private Dance Lesson. Our incredible social dance instructors can show you in person what each one of these dances looks like. From there, you can choose which ones you would like to explore.  Come visit us today and let the fun begin!

A Night on the Town Country Dancing in Arizona

/in /by

rsz_11dsc05487At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona we love taking our students out for a night out on the town. Recently we hosted a night out Country Dancing at Cactus Moon and had such a great time! Here’s why we love having our Nights Out.

Taking our students out to our local Country bar for some Country Two Step and Swing dancing can really show what a social environment is actually like in the real world. Once you start taking Country Dance Lessons with us you, will learn that everything we teach is based on navigating smoothly around the dance floor. It can be pretty difficult keeping your partner from bumping into other couples while you’re dancing, but we love teaching all of the things you need to know to become successful at it. Once you finally go out (whether it’s with us on a night out or by yourself) you will understand what we mean and why we focus so much on our lead and follow technique.

When you get the opportunity to spend a night with us Country Dancing you won’t want to say no. This is a great way to meet new people who enjoy the same hobbies that you love, and if you’re single, you could possibly meet someone new that you can ask on a date… a night out Country dancing perhaps?

If you are lucky enough to already have a partner, you can meet other couples who are experiencing the same dance journey that you are and spark some new conversation. On top of meeting great new people, you will have the chance to dance with your instructor and even other instructors that you haven’t had the chance to have a Private Dance Lesson with. You could ask for a few pointers while you’re dancing with them, and if you’re nervous, they can help ease your worries.

It can be hard to squeeze in practice time with everyone’s busy lives, but we strongly urge you to get as much practice as possible. The best way to remember anything is by repetition, and what better way than to have fun with it? Try going out Country dancing in Arizona as much as you can in one week and see how confident you feel by Saturday. We can promise you the results will be worth the practice time!

When you join us for a Night Out, you get to add even more practice time and have a great time doing it. You will also get to practice how to ask someone you don’t know how to dance. Which can be a pretty nerve-wracking thing to think about, but like we said before, the more you do it, the more confidence you will have. More confidence means you won’t be as nervous and you can just think about dancing the night away.

These are just some of the reasons why we love going out Country Dancing with our students. If you want to experience a great time with us, try our New Student Offer for Country Two Step Dance Lessons so you can prepare for the time of your life dancing with the staff and students of Dance FX Studios.

Why You Should Take Country Swing Dance Lessons

/in /by

Country Swing Dancing is incredible because of how upbeat and fun it is! Here are a few more reasons why we think you should take Country Swing Dance Lessons with us…

Country Swing is one of the most popular Country dances out there right now! Any Country bar you go  to will most likely be playing lots of up tempo Country dance songs, and Country Swing dancing can be done to most of them.

If you’re single, there is no doubt being a great dancer will help you meet the right person. Women love men that know how to dance and take control on the floor, and men also love a girl who knows how to follow and who doesn’t try to take charge. With Country Swing Dance Lessons our instructors can teach you everything you need to know for a fun night out!

Country Dance Lessons (or ANY dance lessons for that matter) are a great hobby. You are constantly learning as a dancer in your dance journey.
