Reap The Rewards of Dance With Private Dance Lessons

/in /by

Swing dancing in ArizonaIsn’t so cool to see others doing all of those fancy turns and spins out in the Country bars and Latin clubs? Wouldn’t it be great if you could do them too? Well, you most certainly can with private dance lessons from a local, qualified social ballroom dance studio!

Believe it or not, those couples out there Country Two Stepping and Swing dancing weren’t actually born knowing how to dance. Yes, it’s true! 🙂 In fact, they once felt awkward and insecure about how they would look on the dance floor too. Most of those great dancers today realized at one point that in order to shine on any social dance floor, instruction would be required. There are several ways that you can learn to dance, but only one that gets you there in the most efficient way. Let’s explore.

1. Youtube: Youtube offers thousands of instructional dance videos. From Salsa dancing to Argentine Tango dancing, you can “learn” it all online from the comfort of your home, right? Not necessarily… In fact, we at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona have a current student who spent the last 4 years trying to Latin dance, just by watching various youtube channels. He finally got to the point where he realized that learning dance steps, especially when it comes to social ballroom dancing, is simply not enough to become a competent dancer. Now he is taking private Latin dance lessons and learning all of the cool tips from us that will actually make him a confident leader on the dance floor. You can take the long way and try to learn on your own though youtube, but when you’re ready to be a great social dancer, come visit us!

2. Group Dance Classes: Group dance classes are where most people think that they should begin when it comes to learning how to social dance. This is unfortunately one of the biggest mistakes that couples, and men especially, make in regards to their dancing. Why? Well, in group dance classes, you will have singles and couples at a variety of levels on the dance floor. Some may be faster learners, and others are slower. Not only is this a challenge for the instructor to manage, but you as a student will find it twice as frustrating to try to either keep up, or to get to the next level. Additionally, group dance classes at the bars (which are usually free for a reason) are generally centered around learning flashy new moves, but you as the student rarely the details needed to either lead or follow the move properly. That gets annoying real quick as you begin to realize that, in order to really learn what you are doing and to do it right, it’s time to make the investment into private dance lessons.

3. Private Dance Lessons: Yes! You’ve have come to the conclusion that to be a great Country, Latin or Swing dancer, you need private dance instruction. Kudos to you! The first thing we recommend, since you will be spending the next few months or longer in the dance studio, is to find a place that you feel comfortable. After a visit or phone conversation, see if that studio you like offers an Introductory or New Student Offer. If so, schedule an appointment and let the fun begin! You should immediately get some good feedback in your beginner dance lesson on how to properly hold your partner as well as some other key details that will get you on the right track to becoming an amazing dancer.

Keep in mind that since you are working smart by taking private dance lessons, it will take you less time overall to learn to dance if you keep you lessons close together. Plan to initially come as frequently as you can so that your instructor can really begin to demystify dance and make it easier to digest.

Your journey into dance can start as soon as tomorrow. Why wait? The benefits of knowing how to dance are limitless! If you live here with us in Arizona, we hope to see YOU on the dance floor at Dance FX Studios in the Phoenix East Valley!

How To Avoid Date Night Disasters

/in /by

private dance instruction in ArizonaSo she didn’t turn out to be as cute as you had hoped she’d be, and he isn’t nearly as funny as he was on the phone. Now you’re sitting across the table from each other, desperately trying to figure out how to save this night from yet another blind date disaster. The movies may work, since you won’t have to spend too much time interacting. But if you want to truly see what your date is made of, boy do we have a fun and creative way to spend the next few hours! Our plan for turning a date night “never again” around? Take her out dancing! Yes, dancing is a great ice breaker, stress reliever and an easy way to see if there is some underlying chemistry between the two of you after all. Plus, hitting a Country bar with live music, or a trendy Latin dance club is so much more interesting than chatting over a cup of joe.

Of course, if you do not yet know how to Country Two Step or Salsa dance, this idea of ours can end up in one of two ways. Either she’ll think you’re adorable for trying to explore something new, unique and exciting, or you’ll completely embarrass yourself and never step on to another dance floor again. Let’s avoid the latter with an easy solution: dance lessons from a local studio. How better to prepare yourself than by getting some great tips on how to sweep her off of her feet?! With Private Dance Lessons, you will also learn to lead like a champ, making you a hot commodity for future love interests if this one doesn’t pan out.

Now that you know how you’re going to WOW her, where do you begin when it comes to this dancing thing? Let us show you the steps (no pun intended) to becoming a great social dancer.

1. Work Backwards: Before you begin taking lessons, start thinking about where you would like to go dancing. If Country music is your thing, check out a few local venues that play Country dance music and see if you can envision yourself hanging out in that place with a date. Get acclimated by visiting the bar several times and watching the other dancers.

If Latin dancing is more up your alley, frequent a Latin dance club and watch the dancers for a bit. See what is popular right now and take it all in before you get a chance to step on that floor one day. Preparing ahead of time will give you that comfortability factor as well as give you a sense of familiarity; two key things that will give you peace of mind when you are taking out someone new for the first time.

2. Go With Private Dance Lessons: There are no shortcuts to becoming a confident social dancer. You can take months and months of group dance classes and learn just as much, if not more, in several Private Dance Lessons. Make the investment in yourself and get on the fast track to feeling great on any social dance floor with one-on-one instruction.

3. Come Prepared: So you may not be that guy or gal in the scenario that we opened with, but why wait until you’re in that situation yourself before doing something about it? Begin taking dance lessons now and see what a confidence booster it actually is to have such a skill under your belt. She will probably fall on the floor just by you asking her to go dancing! Then, when you take her out and show her that you’ve actually spent time really learning how to Two Step or Swing dance, trust us, she’ll see you in a whole new light.

Knowing how to social dance is something that you will have forever and use over and over again throughout your life. From your wedding, to nights on the town with friends to holiday parties and more, you will be ready to conquer any dance floor with ease. What a cool thing to be able to say that you can do!

Spice up your life and become the life of any social gathering with social dance lessons. Dance FX Studios’ New Student Offer is a great way to discover the many benefits of dance for just $25! Come visit us today and see how dance FX you!

The Heat Is On!

/in /by

Arizona dance lessonsCan you believe it? We’re in February and experiencing 80 degree days! Well, for those of you who reside in Phoenix, Arizona with us, you know what this means…Summer is approaching faster than we’re ready for it to hit! OK, I may be feeling a bit paranoid being that we haven’t even seen March yet, but I thought I had more time to get “bikini ready” before we start seeing continuous days of shorts weather. 🙂 Reality has set in and we will soon be basking (or baking) in 100 degree days. So what to do to prepare your bod? My favorite activity…Dance!

Yep, there’s nothing better than dancing your nights away into a more fit you. Now any dance style that gets you moving will technically do, but I prefer to meet a few of my needs all at once with social partner dancing.

What exactly is social partner dancing? Think traditional ballroom dancing. Now strip away all of the pressure and perfection, and imagine yourself in a Country bar or a Salsa club. Or even at your wedding, or on the dance floor on your best friend’s big day. Those dances that you can use in the real world on that crowded floor, like Country Two Step, Salsa, Swing dancing and, of course, even romantic slow dancing….that’s what I’m talking about.

While Ballroom dancing the old fashioned way is amazing, elegant and exciting, social dances can tick off several boxes in preparation for the months ahead. Here are just a few of the benefits of social dancing…

1. Meet New Friends: Take a few private dance lessons and see how easy it is to meet new people! Your confidence will begin to grow, making it so much easier to ask someone for a dance or simply get out and spend time with others who have similar interests in dancing. Not only can you get that body in shape by having fun Salsa or Swing dancing, but you can also expand your social circle! Sweet!

2. Blow Off Steam: Of course you can always visit your local gym to shed a few pounds before the Summer, but did you know that social dancing also helps to relieve stress? And it’s so much more fun than the traditional workout! Why run on the treadmill when you can Tango your way back into that bathing suit?

3. Reconnect With Your Sweetie: With private dance lessons, you two love birds can get away from the kids and enjoy a fun way to spend quality time together. You’ll also be “working” towards the same common goal of staying fit through dance and having fun in the process! I can’t think of anything better for couples!

Summer is coming faster than we are ever prepared for. Make this one a blast by having a cool way to beat the heat with social dancing in Arizona.

From the flowers to your favorite frosting on your cake, there’s so much to think about!

Black tie affairs have never really gone out of style, but Pinterest has taken “upscale” to a whole new level.

In these fun dances that you may have seen on youtube, you would start out slow and then bust into an exciting dance that is completely unexpected. What a way to give back to your friends and family who came to support you on your wedding day!

Ballroom AZ

Keep Calm and Dance On!

/in /by

Ballroom AZBeginner dancers, learning a new hobby as cool as Salsa, Swing or Country Two Step dancing is amazing! As you may also be discovering, though, it can take a little time to get to looking smooth and natural on that dance floor. Keep plugging along…knowing how to dance is a timeless and extremely useful skill. But, on those days when you feel like throwing in the towel (and we have all had those days), here are a few tips on what to do.

1. Think less. Yes, believe it or not, over-thinking has lead to the death of many dancers with great potential. It makes sense to think that if I just obsess over my dance moves, surely they’ll sink in, right? Wrong. In fact, when you are getting stressed about that challenging step, you are sure to not recall it at all. Our tip? Just walk away and let it go. Wait for another time when you can approach your dancing with a clear mind. From there, you’ll be surprised at how much you actually did retain in your private dance lesson. Keep in mind, the muscles do remember, even when the brain seems to forget. 🙂

2. Remind yourself that Rome wasn’t built in a day. That’s right. While Country Two Step dancing, for example, may seem like a breeze, those out there who are stealing the spotlight have put in their time training. While everyone would love to be great instantly, knowing how to dance just doesn’t happen overnight.

If you want the shortest route to becoming a confident dancer, then take private dance instruction. Without a doubt, you will learn more in one hour of a private Country dance lesson with a qualified instructor than you would in 5 to 10 hours of group dance classes.

3. Invest in yourself. This is the biggie. It’s not only your time, but there’s a financial investment to learning to dance. Those “free” group dance classes in the bars are free for a reason. Set aside some funds for this new venture as you begin learning to dance. It’s truly a great investment in yourself and, if you have one, your partner. Social dancing has so many wonderful benefits, from weight loss to stress relief to improved balance and coordination, that knowing how to dance is probably one of the best investment that you can make in you. So stick with it when you begin climbing that first steep hill as a beginner and remind yourself that anything that is worth doing takes time and effort. Then, once you get that ball rolling, you’ll have people waiting in line to dance with you! (Trust me, it will happen.)

If you are willing to put a little time and energy into taking care of you, and you happen to live here with us in Phoenix, Arizona, come enjoy time learning to dance at Dance FX Studios in the Phoenix East Valley. We can help you to explore popular dances like Salsa, Country, Swing and Argentine Tango. Our New Student Offer is a great way to check us out for just $25! So, what are you waiting for, strap on your dancing shoes and let’s get this party started!

If The Shoe Fits…Dance In It!

/in /by

Arizona country dancing number 13Congratulations! You’ve decided to take private dance lessons to become a comfortable social dancer. How exciting! Which popular dance styles are you most interested in; Country, Latin, Swing or the steamy Argentine Tango? They’re all so fun for different reasons, it’s almost hard to decide where to begin.

If you live in Arizona like we do, all of these social dance styles are useful for occasions from going out to the bars to taking a date out for dinner and dancing to attending your best friend’s wedding. Regardless of where you start, social dancing will give you a newfound confidence that will trickle into other areas of your life before long. You just wait and see…

In the meantime, it’s time to get ready for your dance lessons. What do you need? Why, the perfect pair of shoes would be a great starting point. Let us give you our recommendation for the kind of shoes to invest in as you embark on your journey into social partner dancing.

For Country Dance Lessons, a great pair of Cowboy (girl) boots is ideal. Not every pair of boots is equal, though. Look for ones that are made of soft leather so you don’t end up missing chances to dance as you are breaking in your new kicks. Leather bottom boots are also much better than rubber soled boots. Rubber tends to stick to the floor. You are going to be aiming for a more slick look than sticky one. 🙂 Keep in mind that for Country dancing, we do not suggest tennis shoes or flip flops. Both are unsafe and not great for all that shuffling that you will be doing to your favorite Country Two Step tune.

If you are looking to become a confident Salsa or Bachata dancer, a pair of short heels with straps around the ankles are ideal for the ladies. Guys should grab a leather bottomed shoe that is also made of soft leather so they are easy to break in initially, versus distracting on your Latin dance lessons.

To all of the brides and grooms who are taking Wedding Dance Lessons, consider these things when shopping for your first dance shoes: comfort and height. Visually,  it looks best if the bride is either equal in height, or slightly shorter than her partner, so ladies, look for a heel that is both comfortable and the right height for your man. A strap around the ankle is also recommended, unless you are a seasoned high heel walker.

As we say here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, if the shoe fits, dance in it! Come join us for couples and singles dance lessons and see how much fun awaits you! Our New Student Offer will give you a chance to check us out for just $25! What are you waiting for, grab those shoes and let’s get dancing!

Putting Your Best Foot Forward…

/in /by

Arizona Country dancingSo you’ve decided that you’re tired of bellying up to that barstool and watching everyone else on that dance floor have fun. Why should they be kicking up their heels while you are watching from afar? It’s time for you to learn to dance and you’re ready to finally do something about it. Does this guy or gal sound like you? Then give your local dance studio a call and get the ball rolling!

There’s no better time than now to invest in yourself with private dance lessons. With private dance instruction, you can get great tips on how to lead or follow, how to connect with a variety of partners (or your special someone) and how to actually do all of those cool moves in your favorite styles of dance. If you’re like most people, you have questions when embarking on a new hobby such as social partner dancing. Here are a few of the most common questions along with answers from us, the pros at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ.

1. What styles of dance should I/we learn first? This question comes up often.  You wouldn’t want to begin exploring a dance that is not useful to you as a couple or single, so our instructors begin by asking you what kind of music you enjoy. If you’re a couple that loves Rock and Roll, we will show you how to Swing dance. If you love Country music, the Country Two Step is definitely in order. For those that love Latin music (and it is so popular here in Arizona), of course we will explore the Salsa and Bachata as your two most useful dances.

With so many dance styles to choose from, we believe in quality over quantity, so our suggestion is to start learning 3 or 4 dances, at the most, initially. That will lead us into Most Common Question #2…

2. Can I start with just one dance and go from there? We don’t recommend it. Not only is learning just one dance limiting, but it is also the slowest way to progress. With one dance, you will be sitting out a majority of the night. What’s the fun in that? Taking in at least two styles will keep you out there on the dance floor longer, which is exactly what you wanted, right? Since dancing is healthy and enjoyable on so many levels, you wouldn’t want to take lessons only to find yourself watching from the sidelines again.

In terms of slowing down your progress, learning several styles that are relatable all at once is ideal. You will be working smart and not hard, as well as staying up on that dance floor having a blast!

3. What type of footwear should we wear for our dance lessons? Proper footwear is a main component of partner dancing, believe it or not. For you golfers out there, would you consider golfing with a stick if you didn’t bring your clubs? Or using an apple as your ball if you ran out? Of course not.

For Country dancers, we always recommend a nice pair of leather bottom shoes that you can find at your local boot store. Rubber does tend to stick to the floor, so leather is best. Latin dancers ideally should be in a heel with a strap around the ankle (for ladies) and a leather bottom dress shoe (for guys). Ease of movement is what we’re after here. Think back to the golf analogy when beginning your dance lessons so that you set yourself up for success out there and you don’t waste your time being distracted by your shoes.

Social partner dancing is a skill that makes an impression on others. It’s hard not to be impressed by someone who’s a confident social dancer. Embark on your exciting new journey into the world of social dancing with us at Dance FX Studios! We will take you, the everyday single or couple, and give you the tools to dance anywhere with ease and certainty.

Arizona residents… give our New Student Offer a try and see how dancing can help you to put your best foot forward in any social situation.

Why Free Group Dance Classes Don’t Work

/in /by

group salsa classes in ArizonaHave you ever heard the expression “You get what you pay for.”? Well, that saying rings true for many things, even learning to social ballroom dance! You’d think that with all of the free group dance classes in the Country bars and Latin clubs that there would be tons of great dancers out there, but the fact is that most social dancers haven’t a clue what they’re doing. “But they’re having so much fun! Isn’t that all that matters?”. Truly, no. That is not all that matters (although fun is real important). What matters most when social dancing at bars, in nightclubs or even at your best friend’s wedding is that those around you are safe and comfortable and that you can actually apply what you know to a real world situation. How do you learn those skills? With private dance lessons, of course!

Consider social ballroom dancing, like Country Two Step, Salsa, Swing and other partner dances, to be the same as learning a new language…the language of dance! How can one possibly learn enough detail to become a clear communicator on the dance floor in a group class with 20 to 30 other people? Even more, how can one become a proficient dancer when they are just learning patterns and not how to really lead or follow? These are just two questions that we will delve into to reveal that private dance lessons are a better investment if you are sincerely looking to learn how to dance with confidence.

Here’s the scoop on why free group dance classes don’t work:

 1. The attention to detail is missing: In group Swing or Salsa dance classes, you will get an overview of a few cool moves or “tricks” that you can take out social dancing. But what if you are not sure how to lead or follow them? What if you don’t have a proper dance frame or even know that your footwork is secondary to the connection you have in your upper bodies? What you are left with is just a bunch of sloppily executed moves with no structure or foundation with which to rely on. How unfortunate! After just a few private dance lessons, you could actually know how to lead or follow those moves so much better, just by understanding your roles and responsibilities on the dance floor as a leader and follower. With these tools, you are sure to have more confidence to take with you on any social dance floor.

 2. Group Classes are not customized for how you learn best. The one major disadvantage of group dance classes is that you are learning with the masses. Some of you will pick up the material slower than others, simply because you are not being taught in a way that makes sense to you. For example, some students learn best when seeing the move over and over again, while others learn best when their dance instructor explains the moves in more detail with pictures or examples that are relatable to them. With customized instruction from a knowledgeable instructor, you can bet that you will be taught in a way that makes sense. That’s our job. In a group setting, it’s just not possible to personalize the learning experience, leaving some out in the cold to fend for themselves, so to speak. This tends to be quite demotivating and leaves room for you and your partner to give up on a hobby that can truly enhance your lives.

 3. Group Classes are pattern-based. Social partner dancing is all about adhering to a specific rhythm, rather than memorizing patterns. If you didn’t know that, it’s OK. It probably just means that you haven’t taken private dance lessons yet! It’s not too late to enjoy the real benefits of knowing how to dance by not just memorizing routines that you can watch on youtube, but by getting quality instruction that will keep you on the dance floor all night long!

It’s your turn to make the investment in yourself, or in you and your partner with private dance lessons. There’s no reason to fumble around on that dance floor when you can be floating with ease and comfort through any social dance, from the Argentine Tango to the Country Two Step. If you live in Phoenix, Arizona, come have some fun with us at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ. We are right off the 101 highway so that we can accommodate residents valley-wide. Your days of enjoying social dancing are just around the corner!

Country Two Step dancing

Two Step Your Way Into Her Heart

/in /by

Country Two Step dancing in ArizonaAre you single and dating, or single and ready to date? If so, make yourself a hot commodity by knowing how to Country dance. Think about it, guys. You already took the time to learn to Two Step and Country Swing dance, and now you get to take her out on the floor and sweep her off of her feet. Do you think she’ll be impressed? We know she will!

Oftentimes, we do not think to prepare for what may come our way. But you can be proactive and make a great investment in yourself with Country dance lessons!  Here’s how…and why!

Country dancing builds confidence: Asking a girl out can be intimidating enough, but with the confidence you will gain by knowing how to dance, any woman would be lucky to date you, right? Actually, Country dancing is such a cool hobby and skill for a guy to have that you will surely have the ladies lining up to hang out with you.  That is pretty cool! Just show off your goods on the dance floor and see how your popularity with the ladies goes on the rise.

Country dancing is cool!: Why would you not want to partake in the Country dancing craze? If you live in Arizona, and other southwest states, Country dancing has been around forever. But now you can even go Two Stepping and Country Swing dancing in Los Angeles, Chicago, and other “hip” cities. Country music is here to stay, so get on board with the dances that can make your next evening at a Country bar a blast!

Getting started: Now that you know how key Country dancing can be to improving your social life, don’t wait to get started. You never know who’s around the corner waiting to be twirled around that dance floor by you! 🙂

The absolute best way to begin your exciting new hobby is by investing in private Country dance lessons. To get the one-on-one time with an instructor is so crucial to your overall experience and will ensure that you will stick with your dance lessons.

Unfortunately, most men miss out on the opportunity to shine on the dance floor because they took short cuts when they first started learning to dance. Going to those free group classes in your local Country bar can be a disaster in the making. We’ll go deeper into this in an upcoming blog, but let’s just say that without personalized and detailed instruction, men are generally the first ones to scurry off the dance floor, never to be seen on one again. How tragic! Really!

Phoenix, Arizona residents…come visit us at Dance FX Studios in the Phoenix East Valley to begin your dancing journey. We have an incredible New Student Offer that will show you just how fun and easy it is to learn to Country dance. Let us help you to get ready for all of the thrilling opportunities that will be coming your way!
