Country Western dancing AZ

Look HOT Country Dancing!

/in /by

Country Western dancing in ArizonaNew and exciting things are around the corner in Arizona’s Country Dance community! This September, a new Country bar is opening in Tempe: Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row! If you have ever been out to Moonshine in Tempe, you know that there is a lot of Country Two-Stepping and Country Swing that is join on out there! Whiskey Row will definitely attract a large number of Country dancers, especially on the night of their Grand Opening. Come learn how to Country dance so that you’ll be ready for the hoopla surrounding this big event! 🙂

At Dance FX Studios in the Phoenix East Valley, we are well-rounded in the dances that we teach. However, a large number of students come in specifically for Country dances because it is extremely popular in Arizona. When you go out Country dancing, you generally see two dances the most: Country Two-Step and Country Swing. We teach both styles at this studio!

Country Two-Step is a fun, easy dance with many turns, twists and more turns. 🙂 There are two varieties of Country Two-Step that are done – Texas or Progressive and Arizona or Rhythm. The biggest difference between these two styles is where the dance goes. Progressive Two-Step is a dance that travels counter clockwise (in Line of Dance) around the floor. Rhythm Two-Step is mostly stationary, is effective in crowded dancing conditions, and is often what you will see here in Arizona.

Country Swing is one of many Swing dance variations, which means that some guidelines do apply, but these help to make you into a strong leader. This dance also includes spins, turns, and cool combinations that create a very fun, lively dance that will be sure to make you grin ear to ear. This dance is also adaptable to music other than Country, which is great to have in your back pocket!

September may seem like it is many moons away, but it’s never too early to discover Country dancing! Here at Dance FX Studios we are results driven and goal oriented so NOW is the time to get started so that you can really shine on any dance floor.  Let us help you to become the dancer you are envisioning – smooth and natural – while having a great time and learning a life-long skill that will cover you for any occasion. Dance FX Studios’ New Student Offer for beginners is a great way to be introduced to Country dancing.

AZ Latin dance instructors

Meet More Dance FX Studios’ Instructors!

/in /by

Arizona Latin dance instructorsOriginally from Cuba, Alvaro has graced Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona with his enthusiasm and love of dance. Three words to describe him are: curious, dynamic, and lighthearted.

At a young age, Alvaro began to dance. “My parents began to teach me how to dance when I was four. When I was five, in kindergarten, I was in a dance group doing traditional mambo, cha-cha, danzon, pilon, salsa, and cumbia. After I turned fourteen, I began to learn Waltz so I could be a ‘professional’ dancer at quinceañeras (fifteenth birthday parties specifically for girls) and continued to do that for five years. I also used to choreograph dances during this time for quineañeras. Throughout my time as a dancer, I got a taste of many different dances. After that, I just kept dancing. I love salsa the most. In Cuba, it is one of the most popular dances.”

Overall, Alvaro loves to dance with a partner. He values creativeness and enjoys making new moves. At Dance FX Studios, he has found many nice people and whenever he comes to work, he is happy every day. He likes to see how everyone wants to learn to dance here. “It is the best place in the Phoenix valley to teach social dancing.”

“Me gusta el baile social, me parece divertido tener el papel de líder. Me encanta hacer nuevos movimientos y mezclarlos espontáneamente, lo que muestra mi creatividad. En este lugar estoy rodeado de buenas y agradables lo cual me hace me hace feliz venir cada día y dar lo mejor de mi. Me gusta ver como todos pueden aprender a bailar con facilidad, y me fascina dedicarles todos mi empeño para que luzcan mejor en la lista de baile. Es el único lugar en el Valle que enseña baile social, pienso que es una gran oportunidad venir y llevarse consigo esta gran experiencia. Me encanta el ambiente de alegría que hay en Dance FX Studios, sobre todo los estudiantes que vienen con dinamismo y creatividad emocionados para cada clase. Todos los miembros del equipo de trabajadores son muy amigables y todos nos llevamos bien, hacemos un grupo de trabajo muy divertido. Aquí aprendo como enseñar pero también aprendo muchas cosas nueves sobre baile, me ayuda a crecer un poco mas en mi carrera como bailarín y coreógrafo .”

For Alvaro, curiosity didn’t kill the cat… it motivated him. He loves to learn, whether it is directly related to him (dance, music, culture), or related to those around him (personalities, likes, how to make people laugh). Due to his curiosity and ability to quickly pick up new skills, the word that best describes him next is fast. Not only is he a fast learner, but he also makes friends quickly because he is able to see similarities with everyone! Lastly, “dynamic” rounds out Alvaro because it encapsulates him well. The definition of dynamic is: characterized by constant change, activity or progress.

Even though Alvaro absolutely LOVES dancing, he does have a few hobbies on the side which include, playing guitar, watching soccer games, roller blading, spending time with family, and playing some sports!

Meet Dance FX Studios’ Staff: Jessie!

/in /by
Arizona Country dance instructorsHey there! Jessie here. I thought I’d take a little moment of your time and introduce myself.  I’m a dance instructor here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona.  I wasn’t always a dance instructor though. Before dancing, I did many different things.  I love exploring new avenues and am always seeking growth, so exploring dance and all of the exciting popular styles from the Country Two Step to Salsa dancing has been a blast!  I think I’m a fairly eclectic individual, and have always imagined being the kind of person to grow old and share all of my experiences and stories with my grandkids.  Some other things I’m passionate about outside of dancing are:  hot yoga, music (going to shows, sharing it, blasting it in my car and singing at the top of my lungs), the outdoors, books, geology, theology, behavioral psychology, and road trips.  I know, I’m all over the board.  Below is a Q&A section covering more about me and of my dance background.  Enjoy!
Q: What is your dancing background?
A: I grew up dancing.  I did jazz and clogging as a kid.  I loved to make up dancing routines in my living room with my friends to all our favorite pop songs.  We even did a couple talent shows and festivals around the Phoenix valley.  When I got older, I started going out to clubs and bars to dance.  It was at that time that I discovered Country 2-Step dancing.  WOW! I was entranced by it, and desperately wanted to learn.  Apparently those vibes were noticed because someone immediately asked me to dance and offered to teach me.  I’ve been in love with partner dancing from that moment on.
Q: Why Dance FX Studios?
A: Well, I was actually working as an Office Manager before I became a Dance Instructor.  I was steadily becoming discontent with this position.  I have always considered myself to be a very creative, artsy person, but I love helping people too.  My job situation, at the time, was not harnessing either skill.  I went away on holiday one day, and stumbled across a book in a tiny boutique.  It seemed to know exactly the discontent my heart felt.  It spoke of finding your “bliss” or “calling in life” with beautifully painted pages.  I sat down and considered my skills and the desires of my heart.  It was during this time of reflection I ran across Dance FX Studios. I knew the moment I saw it that I had to be there.  I love helping people above all things, and I love social partner dance too!  The combination of the two seemed absolutely golden, and I’ve not looked back since.
Q: What is your favorite thing about working at Dance FX Studios?
A; The people!  I’ve never been someplace where the people I am surrounded with everyday are so friendly, encouraging, and inspiring!  How often does one person get to say they genuinely love and enjoy their job and the people they work with?  Staff and students included,  Dance FX Studios attracts incredible individuals that are a joy to be around.
Q: What is your favorite style of dance to teach and why?
A: I love teaching the Nite Club 2 Step (Dance FX Studios version).  I love how romantic and smooth it feels.  It’s elegant and beautiful.  I think I also like the type of song that goes along with such a dance.  I’m a sucker for music that makes you feel things, and Nite Club seems to encompass the emotion of a song better than most other partner dances.
Q: What three words would you use to describe yourself?
A: I would say that I am passionate, creative, and empathetic.
Q: What’s a fun fact about you?
A: I would love to own a motorcycle and road trip across the U.S. one day.
So there you have it folks!  Hopefully I’ll get to see you at Dance FX Studios soon, teach you some more about dance, and learn a bit about you too! And…since I get to work with newbies, check out our New Student Offer for beginner dance lessons with me! At the studio, you can learn everything that you will use out in the “real world”, from wedding dances to how to twirl your lady at your favorite Country bar in Arizona. I can’t wait for the opportunity to meet you and share my passion for dance with you!
Country Western dancing AZ

Country Dance All Summer Long!

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Country Western dancing in ArizonaDoes Country music invoke happy thoughts? Do you find yourself tapping your feet, smiling, and maybe even singing along to your favorite tunes (even if it’s in the shower)? Build upon those feelings by learning to Country dance! Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona has been teaching social dance lessons to singles and couples in the Phoenix valley for 15 years. Many students come in specifically for Country dances! There are three popular styles of dances done to Country music here in Arizona that you MUST know 🙂 : Country Two-Step, Country Swing, and Country Waltz.

Country Two-Step is one of the most common dances in the bars. It is a fun and easy dance with twirls, twists, and turns! There are two varieties of Country Two Step dancing: Progressive or Rhythm. The only difference between the two is that one travels (Progressive) and the other is mostly stationary (Rhythm). Both are great to know in preparation for going out dancing, however, in Arizona, Rhythm Two-Step is done almost exclusively out in the bars because it is effective for crowded dance floors.

Country Swing was recently recognized as one of the many Swing dance variations! It does have certain guidelines, which includes cool turns, spins, and combinations, that help keep you on time with the music while having fun on the floor. It is also adaptable to music other than Country which makes it great to use at either a wedding or a bar! This dance is higher energy, fun, bouncy and often results in many smiles!

Country Waltz is a progressive dance that has a more relaxed look to it than other Waltz styles. In the Country Waltz, the frame, hand and arm gestures are not exaggerated. This is a great dance to have in your back pocket for slow Country songs. Remember to keep that romance alive!

Cowboy boots are always welcome, but not necessary. In the end, we want YOU to have a great time! Dancing can be a relaxing, fun, new hobby for you to partake in whether you are dancing with a partner or just solo. This is a skill you’ll have for the rest of your life!

If you are interested in learning how to Country Dance in Arizona, give us a call at (480) 968-6177 to try our Introductory Offer for Country Dance Lessons. We are available Monday through Friday from 12 – 8 PM and on Saturdays from 11 AM – 4 PM. Soon YOU will have all the tools to keep you on the dance floor all night long!

Arizona Two Step dancing

Dancing is Not For Men?

/in /by

Arizona Two Step dancingHow many times have you been dragged out on the dance floor by your wife, girlfriend or random person at a wedding or work event? Why are you hiding in the corner or at the bar when the deejay gets going or in between songs? Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona has three basic theories as to why you men express “I don’t like to dance”.

We have watched time and again as men scurry like roaches far away from the dance floor and that shouldn’t be a “thing”.  In fact, guys who know how to dance tend to be major lady magnets because they  have tons of self-confidence. What a shame that guys should avoid a hobby that’s so alluring and attractive to women! In any case, here are a few of our theories about why men don’t dance:

What you don’t know can hurt you! Men feel they need to know what they are doing before they try something, especially when other men are out there doing it. When you are out of your comfort zone and trying to look like you know what you are doing and fail, this embarrassment hurts, am I right guys? Guess what though? Social ballroom dance lessons are a great solution for overcoming the unknown. Forget about traditional old school “ballroom” and think Country Two Step, Swing and Salsa dancing. Now those are cool dances to know! How about overcoming the un-known in a way that is tailored to your learning style? Here at Dance FX Studios we know that dance instruction is not a cookie-cutter experience and must be personalized for each student, so let us help you to become a confident social dancer.

Dancing is not masculine! This is a huge misconception. Fortunately, especially because of the rise in popular TV shows like So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars, this perception has declined over the years. Additionally, since Country dancing is BIG and getting BIGGER, Cowboys are without a doubt some of the very hottest and masculine of men!

Guess what else guys, when you are dancing, you get to be in control. That’s right, the man is the decision maker, or “leader”. That is exciting news right? Why would you want to miss out on learning a skill that teaches you to be in charge of giving the woman you dance with the feeling of being beautiful and elegant, or hot and sexy?!?!

Letting your inner dancer out might be scary! Admit it, you have an inner dancer! Even if that dancer has only actually moved in your mind, it is in there! Maybe you let yourself go crazy dancing at home. Maybe you have caught yourself in the mirror when you thought you were performing the best recreation of Tom Cruise’s Risky Business dance in his skivvies! Then thought, no, no, no, that’s not good, I am not a dancer! The truth is, no one truly has “two left feet” and comparing yourself to others who have had training, or in Tom’s case, choreography, is not a fair comparison.  The same is true if you have been comparing yourself to someone who has been practicing the Country Swing, for example, for 5 or more years.

Learning to be a great social dancer won’t happen with the click of a button. In our everything is now and instant society, the idea of a learning curve can stop you from trying. However, think about all the other great manly skills that took a while too but where totally worth it. Here are just a few: soccer, skateboarding, snowboarding, basketball, swimming, riding horses.  So why not start now and let the good times roll! Come on guys … find out what is really possible and learn to social dance! All of the results will be yours for the taking! Try out Dance FX Studios’ New Student Offer and begin a journey that will bring you joy for years to come!

Ahhh…The Country Sounds of Summer!

/in /by

Country dancing in ArizonaThe temperature here in Arizona is in the 3 digits! It is currently 112 outside, but inside Dance FX Studios the temperature is ranges from a cool 72 to 74 degrees. It is so HOT outside, it’s a good day to dream about other places where it’s cool and the wind doesn’t feel like Tabasco.

Summer Country songs about the joys the carefree sun-filled months help us to take our minds where dancing and fun are happening near an ocean or lake. A place where we might spend time at the beach, throw parties or just do a lot of nothing experiencing summer fun. A place where we might meet Mr. or Ms. Right, fall in love or at least share a cold drink with our friends.

What are the best Country songs about summer? Below are lyrics by some of our favorite artists crooning about the kind of places most of us here in Arizona would rather be right now. Find that perfect summer song to help set your mood and make Arizona sun-drenched days much more enjoyable.  If you are lucky enough to be inside right now, why not put on a few tracks, grab a partner and get to doin’ some Country Swing, Country Two-Step or Country Waltz dancing.

 

“There’s a local band playing at the sea side pavilion. And I got just enough cash to get us in. And as we are dancing Mary’s wrapping her arms around me. And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin. In the midst of the music I tell her I love her.” (Kenny Chesney, Anything But Mine).

“Recking ball dancing down the hallway. You’re holding your shoes, wearing my shades. We fall against the door, we fall into a wild warm kiss. We’re buzzing like that no vacancy sign out front. Your skin is begging to be kissed by a little more than the sun. You take my hand in yours, you lean in. And your lips taste like sangria, your lips taste like sangria.” (Blake Shelton, Sangria).

“Somethin’ about that southern sky, sitting back behind that moon. It goes perfect with your eyes. Girl, tonight looks good on you. It’s something about the way you’re smiling. Making the stars fall right on queue. I just gotta tell you, baby. Tonight looks good on you.” (Jason Aldean, Tonight Looks Good On You).

“Holding hands and walkin’ around the pond. I can’t remember when we ever had so much fun. Bobby got pushed in and we just bust out laughin,’ somebody got a guitar out, now everybody’s dancin’.” (Mark Bray, Let me know that You’re Mine)

“How ’bout them cowgirls, Boys ain’t they somthin’, sure are some proud girls, and you can’t tell them nothin’, and I tell you right now girls, may just be seven wonders of this big, old round world. But how ’bout them cowgirls.” (George Strait, How ‘Bout Them Cowgirls).

“Want a towel on a chair in the sand by the sea, want to look thru my shades and see you there with me. Want to soak up life for a while, in laid back mode. No boss, no clock, no stress, no dress code. No shoes, no shirt, no problems.” (Kenny Chesney, No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem).

Now that you’re cool, relaxed and in a good mood why not do what all the best Country Music singers are suggesting, grab your shades, shoes, grab your partner and say “let’s make some of our own fun, let’s do some Country Swing dance   or maybe do some Two Step dancing?  Don’t know how to dance yet? That’s easy! Pick up the phone and call 480-968-6177, and let us get you on your way to enjoying a Country fun summer. Our New Student Introductory Offer hour long dance lesson is only $25, the music is on, our studio A/C is keeping it cool and we are waiting for you to join us here at Dance FX Studios.

Country Swing dancing AZ

Swing Dance into Summer!

/in /by

Country Swing dancing in ArizonaSince 1994, Tim McGraw has sold more than 40 million records and dominated the charts with over 30 number 1 hit singles. Twenty plus years later, he’s had beyond 8 million spins on the radio, thus making him the most-played artist of the past decade, in any genre of music to boot, and guess what? He will perform tonight here in Phoenix, Arizona!

We know he will be singing Shotgun Rider, a Country Swing dance song, so the question is: Are you ready to stand up from that uncomfortable stadium seat and Swing dance? And what about all of his other hit songs? How long are you going to ignore your body before you let go, kick up your heels and dance?

For those of you who can dance (past students of Dance FX Studios), or those of you who have learned several cool dance moves, we know it won’t take long. But what about the rest of you, why aren’t you dancing? Is your girlfriend already up swooning and moving, begging you to get up and dance? Are you sitting there while attending one of the best Country music concerts simply because you cannot dance?!?

Well, Dance FX Studios here in the Phoenix East Valley has the solution for your next Country music event as well as the Country dance scene at large. At Dance FX Studios, we teach Country dance styles and so much more!  Choose from the Arizona Two-Step, Country Swing, Country Waltz, Nite Club 2-Step, or even the West Coast Swing! Discover up to four Country dances easily by our trained instructors- even if you feel you have two-left feet. 🙂 We are the only Arizona dance studio that teaches you how to fit in confidently to any social dance situation! We are the go-to studio if you want to avoid choreography and really learn to lead or follow. Even if you are getting married, we have you covered too with one-of-a-kind wedding dance choreography!

We can get you up, out and moving faster along in dance ability than you think, especially if you are committed to learning. Currently we have several students who are on the fast track to dancing success! We have a male student who committed to getting all his foundation dance lessons done in one week and attending our studio 3 days per week because he has four weddings coming up, each of which he plans to successively blow his friends away. He also will impress the minds and hearts of the cute bridesmaids in attendance when he shows off his knowledge of Country Swing, Country Two-Step, Nite Club 2-Step and even some Latin styles during the reception.

We also have another student who has a work party coming up in a few months. She is fast tracking her lessons too. Her reason … because all of her co-workers expect her to dance with her boss! At every work event, he asks her to accompany him out on the dance floor. Well, this year, she has decided that she will be prepared! Before that party takes place she will be an outstanding follower, and no matter what he leads her into, a twill, dip or spin, she will rock, roll, glide, spin and twill effortlessly and easily right along with him! How great is that?

Are up off the chair and rushing to the phone to call us so you can fast track your dancing journey too? Our number is 480-968-6177 and we are located on the southeast corner of Dobson and Guadalupe, just off the 101 highway for your convenience.
