With an excellent crew of instructors and a unique method of teaching, you can become a confident social dancer in no time!

One of the unique things about our studio is that we strive to create an environment where you can get the most out of your private dance lessons. Everything is personalized: the types of dances you will learn, the method of instruction your instructor will use, and the lesson plans your instructor will map out-just for you. This customization ensures that each of our students at Dance FX Studios receive the instruction that is adequate for them and their goals.

Speaking of goals, do you know what your goals are when it comes to your social dance lessons? There are many reasons why someone would want to take dance lessons. Sometimes they simply want to learn a new hobby and have been thinking that going out and kicking up their heels would be a fun addition to their life. Perhaps their love life needs some spicing up, so they decide that dancing with their significant other might just be the ticket. Dancing can be an excellent form of exercise or physical therapy as well, and we have had students who take up dancing for the physical benefits. Emotional growth or stress relief can also be what a student is searching for, and they can find it here!

No matter what your goals or ideas are for dancing, they are important to keep in mind when talking with your instructor about during your Introductory Dance Lesson. Make sure that you discuss your needs and wants with your instructor so that they can incorporate these aspects into the structure of your lessons. You will be able to accomplish your dancing goals much more quickly and efficiently this way! It’s also not to say that you will only or can only accomplish or benefit from what you discuss with your instructor; you will experience the effects of dance in many aspects of your life!

If you would like to try out dance lessons and see what your goals may be, schedule your first lesson with us today! You can call the studio at 480.968.6177 and chat with one of our client coordinators about why you want to dance and when you can come in, and they can suggest where your starting point may be!

Ballroom Dance Tips

/in /by

dancing in the woodsAll of our social ballroom dance instructors here at Dance FX Studios in Arizona are top notch. They go through rigorous training and receive ongoing education to learn even more technique so as to be as knowledgeable as possible for their students. Having been a leading social ballroom dance studio in Arizona for 13 years, Dance FX Studios has seen it all and we will turn any individual into a confident social dancer. Be it the Country Two Step, Jitterbug Swing, Salsa or the Argentine Tango… our instructors have got you covered with top notch quality dance lessons!

One aspect of our instructors off-the-floor planning is creating Teacher Tips. These tips are helpful tidbits of information related to social dancing that are created to help students about things that are helpful to know.

This week’s Teacher Tip comes from Bethany, one of Dance FX Studios’ top dance instructors. Bethany was only two years old the first time she set foot in a dance studio. Born a performer, she spent her youth singing, competing in gymnastics, and trying out many facets of the dance world with learning ballet, modern, jazz, tap, musical theatre dance, and partner dance. For the past eight years, Bethany has been singing, dancing, and acting on both professional and non-professional stages.

Originally from Texas, when Bethany moved to Arizona to attend ASU and earn a degree in Musical Theatre Performance, she discovered how much fun social dancing is. She fell in love with dancing Salsa, Bachata, and other Latin dances, and eventually branched out to other styles. With many years of experience dancing many styles of dance, Bethany definitely knows a thing or two about dancing. Here is her tip this week:

“Get your dancing shoes on! Learning how to dance is challenging enough as it is. Make your life SO much easier by investing in a pair of proper dance shoes – be it smooth ballroom, Latin, character, or even some jazz shoes. You wouldn’t go to the gym in flip flops, so don’t let the dance floor be different. You’ll be amazed at how much easier turns are when you change out of rubber soles and into leather or suede. Not only are dance shoes specifically built to make your dancing smoother, but they can also help you transition into a dancers mindset. So go out and make that investment in you and your dancing.”

Take it from Bethany and put your best dance-shoe-clad foot forward! Not sure which style is best for you? Ask your instructor during your next dance lesson for advice on which type of dance shoe is best for you. Not taking lessons? There’s no better time than now to come check us out with our private dance lesson Introductory Offer. Call us at the studio at 480.968.6177, send us an email at info@dancefxstudios.com , or come visit us during business hours from noon to 8 pm on weekdays and from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturdays. We look forward to meeting you and helping you to reach you dancing dreams!
