Gift Yourself Dance Lessons This Season

/in /by

adult dance lessons phoenixEvery holiday season comes with a certain amount of stress and pressure in order for all to have a good time. Each year we will spend months preparing for just a few important moments that stretch the length of a mere couple of days, stressing ourselves out to our wits end, just for the perfect dessert or holiday gift. I for one could use a holiday where perhaps I treat myself a bit as well! Don’t you feel the same way?

As we prepare for this fall season, I urge you all to take some time for yourselves and indulge in something that will literally wipe your stress away, not to mention put a smile on your face.

Have you thought about Country dance lessons, or maybe learning to Swing dance through the holidays to stay fit and mentally sane? What about Salsa dancing? Does learning to Latin dance excite you? If so, adult dance lessons could be exactly what you need this holiday season. What better way to put pump up your spirits than a weekly dance lesson for yourself, or for you and your sweetie? Dancing gives you energy as we head into this holiday season, and we all need some more of that!

At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we’re excited every day to help people just like you not just survive through the holidays, but thrive through this upcoming season. With fun and exciting dance lessons to attend on a regular basis, you’ll be ahead of your New Year’s Resolutions, and even prepared for those upcoming holiday parties! Now that’s planning!

Once you see the benefits of unwinding with Private Dance Lessons, you may also discover that you can give the gift of social dancing to those you love. Think of your co-workers who could use a little “me” time, or your adult children who would enjoy a weekly date night away from the kids. Dance lessons for adults are just the thing to get them on track for a healthy and fun way into the new year. Gift cards for dance lessons are a wonderful way to let your loved ones choose what they want explore, from the dramatic Argentine Tango to the sultry Bachata to the playful Country Two Step.

Regardless of the dance, lessons are a fantastic way to make time for you. Social ballroom dancing is not just about relaxation, fitness, fun and stress relief (all very important things), but it can also be used as a way to meet new people in your area. Have you thought of how lonely the holidays can be without friends and/or family to share them with? You’re never alone when you take dance lessons at your local ballroom studio because you’ve got people to share your new hobby with. It’s amazing how open people can be to connecting with others once they find similar interests with them.

So what are you waiting for? We’re almost in October and that’s when it all begins! Start learning to dance now and you’ll be sailing through the holidays this year, (or should I say “dancing”?). Gift yourself adult dance lessons. You’ll be so glad you did!

Reignite the Passion With Ballroom Dance Lessons

/in /by

ballroom dancing and romance for couplesHas it been too long since you and your loved one took a night to yourselves? Are date nights becoming a thing of the past? Then, it sounds like it might be time to make some changes, and there’s no better time to get started than right now!

If you’re looking to add something new and exciting to your lives, then taking adult dance lessons just might be the perfect solution for you both! We firmly believe that couples who dance together, stay together, while also enjoying a deeper understanding of compassion and connection for each other.

Couple’s dance lessons can offer you something that you will not find anywhere else. When you have enrolled in a Private Dance Lesson program and start to learn exciting dances like the Country Two Step and Swing, you are essentially committing to a certain amount of times that you and your partner will come together – just the two of you, to dance. That means that you have also committed to romantic, uninterrupted time together to focus on each other. How unusual is that? Creating alone time for one another shows that you are all in when it comes to the health and growth of your relationship. Life can be very hectic at times, and if we don’t make time for those that we love and care about, soon enough your relationship will take a back seat to other less important things.

Time to reconnect with each other and disconnect from all the worries of life, like work and everyday stresses, is critical, and learning a fun new skill like dancing together can reignite all the passion in your relationship! Just imagine how much closer dancing together will bring the two of you. Slowly but surely you’ll both gain a level of intimacy you’ve never before experienced. What’s even more, is that once you see how easy and fun it is to become confident social dancers, you will be just as addicted to dancing as we are! So, sign up for couple’s Swing, Latin or Country Dance Lessons and discover a new way to communicate with your lover!

Learning to partner dance is a revealing experience for couples everywhere. You could say that lessons can work in the same way as some couple’s therapy! You’ll gain a very unique perspective of what “holes” there may be in your relationship, and you can help to fill these small holes through couple’s dance lessons. For instance, some women have trouble giving up control, even if it is on the dance floor. It’s very difficult to understand when you are so used to running the household, and yet now you have to sit back and not help when it comes to leading through the dance. There are many other issues that come up though learning to dance that we can gently assist with, from working better as a team and opening lines of communication. Dance lessons are a powerful opportunity to understand each other on a deeper level.

Now it’s your turn to join in the fun, strengthen your relationship, and have a blast learning how to dance popular social styles from Salsa to Two Step. Private dance lessons for couples begin with an Introductory Offer for just $25, so there’s no reason that your journey into re-connecting can’t begin this week. Don’t waste any more time and give us a call at 480-968-6177 to set up your Private Introductory Dance Lesson today!

How Athletes Benefit from Ballroom Dance Lessons

/in /by

ballroom dance lessons for beginners mesa arizonaWe are about to kick off the 2016-2017 NFL football season, (Lets Go Cardinals!) and it couldn’t be more exciting! All the athletes we love and admire have been training their hearts out for months just to make us proud – and to win, of course! Every last one of them, doing everything they can to stay fit, strong and prepared for anything that comes their way out on the field.

Although most of us probably know that their training includes things like throwing and catching passes, as well as remembering their assignments on every play and run,  did you also know that a huge part of all football players game day preparation includes dancing? Now, just to be sure – I am not speaking on those famous victory dances when a touchdown is made, like Victor Cruz’s salsa dance. I am, however, talking about ballroom dancing. Crazy enough, popular dance moves like the Grapevine (think “side, forward, side, back”, and repeat in a straight line) are used in football, but they directly stemmed right from the traditional ballroom dances like the Waltz and Foxtrot. The Grapevine has in fact helped many football players to stay light on their toes and ready for anything. And what about balance and coordination? Those are two key things that every football players needs. Ballroom dance lessons and tips from ballroom dancing in general are a very useful tool that can enhance those qualities in any athlete. Pretty cool to know, right?!

Former NFL Cardinals Superbowl Quarterback Kurt Warner participated in the 2010 season of Dancing With The Stars, and agreed that many of the skills required of athletes could probably be easily translated to the dance floor, and vice versa. He went on to further say that “I played football for so long that it became natural. It became something I was good at, but Dancing With The Stars was such a huge challenge, and was more difficult than I thought it would be.”.  Furthermore, you probably haven’t considered it, but ballroom dancing for football players is amazing for posture, core strength and improved memory, all very important traits for athletes of any sport.

Social dancing, like the Country Two Step, Swing and Salsa dancing, can help off of the field as well. First off, any guy that can dance is a hot commodity to all those singles ladies out there. Everyone knows that ladies love a guy that can move well on the dance floor. Making the investment in Private Social Ballroom Dance Lessons will therefore pay off exponentially. Once you know how to Latin dance or Country dance, your confidence will skyrocket! It may be hard to manage at first, but I’m warning you now, be prepared for the long line of ladies that will be waiting to be swept off of their feet by you. 🙂

So whether you’re on the field or not, men that can dance are winners! Gain confidence, gain poise, gain finesse, then put your dance moves to work for you. What do you have to lose? Nowadays, a man that can dance is pretty rare, so separate yourself from the crowd or you may as well be just one of many! You can become a great social dancer by taking your first step into our Arizona dance studio. Your fun awaits you here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ!
