All the instructors create a fun and professional environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes as you go. We have had a blast and look forward to many more lessons through the studio. We would recommend it to anyone looking to start from square one or to learn a few new moves.”

About Us

/by

Almost two decades ago, the concept for Dance FX Studios was imagined by co-founders Adam and Nicole Dekavallas. Adam and Nicole’s vision for Dance FX Studios stemmed from a strong desire to develop couples and singles into comfortable and confident social dancers. Additionally, they wanted to create a FUN and RELAXED environment in which to learn to dance.

While competitive ballroom dance studios seemed to be the only place to learn to dance at the time, Adam and Nicole found that what most people really wanted was to become great social dancers. The everyday person simply wanted to learn to dance for social events like weddings, nights out with friends and dates.

Coming from a more traditional ballroom dance studio themselves, Adam and Nicole knew that they would have to modify their entire way of teaching to make this concept a reality. After two years of developing an unparalleled system of instruction that could make anyone a great social dancer, Dance FX Studios was established in 2001.

In 2020 Sierra Graves took the reins of Dance FX Studios. With a passion for both business and dance, Sierra brings a fresh perspective to the studio blending her entrepreneurial spirit with a deep appreciation for the art form.

Since 2001, Dance FX Studios has set the bar for quality social dance instruction in the Phoenix valley. With the motto “Real dancing for real people” in mind, the staff at Dance FX Studios has helped thousands of Arizona residents to learn to dance with ease.

Over the years our concept has been attempted to be replicated by other studios- which we take as a true compliment. Our commitment to you is that we will continue to evolve and grow our unique and original product to stay ahead of the pack. It is our mission to positively affect the life of each and every person that comes through our doors. Hence the name “Dance FX” and our first, albeit cheesy, tagline: “Dance FX Studios… because dance FX YOU!”.

The entire Dance FX staff is sincerely grateful to each and every student for allowing us to share our passion with you!

What Others Have To Say About Dance FX Studios…

“We started lessons here about two months ago after first trying another “chain studio”. Our instructor Sierra has been amazing from the very start. She has an eye for details and a unique talent for breaking things down to help us learn and for always giving us the just right challenge during our lessons. The environment at the studio is very comfortable and welcoming and, although it will probably be awhile before we can be considered good at dancing, we really enjoy our new hobby that we share. I highly recommend  you try it if you are even slightly considering it!”
