wedding dance studios mesa azAre you a newlywed who is planning your wedding and has just realized there is a lot that goes into planning a wedding? If you are feeling a little overwhelmed or would just like a hand, Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, offers an hour-long Wedding Dance Consultation. During the consultation we will get to know your personalities and help create a customized first dance that suits both of you.

The first dance as husband and wife is a significant part of your wedding day. It can set the tone for the remainder of your reception and should show the connection and how you feel about one another. Other aspects of the first song that you have to be aware of are the lyrics, the tempo, and the rhythm. Many couples listen to a song or have a favorite song, but they do not listen to the lyrics completely. There often can be a line or two that is not what you want to associate your first dance with. This is something you can probably do on your own, but there are so many songs out there that couples find it hard knowing where to start their search. At Dance FX Studios, we have thousands of great wedding dance music for you to choose from with a variety of styles.

Along with your first dance song selection, Dance FX Studios can assist you with choreographing your first dance. Whether you would like a simple and elegant first dance or a Rock your Reception style of dance, we can help alleviate some of the stress that may come from wedding planning. We have choreographed thousands of first dances for bride and grooms so rest assured that you are in good company with Dance FX Studios.

Bust A Move on Your Wedding Day!

/in /by

wedding dance classes scottsdale arizonaMany of you have probably seen the viral videos on the internet featuring a couple on their wedding day, more specifically during their first dance as husband and wife. They often start out with simple swaying or a basic waltz and then, out of nowhere, the newlyweds begin a jaw-dropping, crowd exciting dance.Now these are not just any dances, they are usually choreographed and match the couple’s personality. Some examples of dance styles that can be incorporated into your first dance as husband and wife are Tango, Salsa, Swing, Hip-Hop, or even a Country Two-Step.

So often brides and grooms just sway back and forth for their whole first dance, it has been done and done again, and it is quite boring to watch. Everyone has a different style and personality and so should your first dance. It should capture who you are individually and together as a couple. If you are unaware of how to go about doing this, you can schedule a Wedding Dance Consultation at Dance FX Studios and let us guide you into creating a memorable evening for you and all of your wedding guests. The hour-long consultation includes getting to know you, your dance abilities, and your vision for your first dance.

Depending on your style and your comfort level, you could integrate one or many of the above styles into your first dance. If you are not familiar with the above dances, the Tango is widely known as being sensual with close, sexy movements. However, if the Tango is too steamy of a dance for you incorporate something less intimate such as Salsa dancing. Salsa still has the passion that is very evident in Tango, but it has a more playful nature to it. It can also be a little sexier if desired. If you would rather not have any sex appeal in your first dance, you could include a fun Swing number or a Country Two-Step. Swing dancing is a very playful, fun, and lively dance, while a County Two-Step is a fun and easy alternative. If you would rather do something completely different in your first dance, why not try your hand at a little Hip-Hop dancing?

If this peaks your interest to make your first dance as husband and wife a stunning and memorable one let Dance FX Studios Rock Your Reception. More information about our “Rock Your Reception” routines can be found at https://dancefxstudios.com/wedding-dance-lessons-mesa-arizona/

Need Help Choosing the Perfect First Dance Song?

/in /by

Tempe wedding dance lessonsChoosing a song for your first dance as husband and wife is an important task that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Making sure you have the right song to show off your skills takes just as much planning and preparation as the ceremony itself! When looking through your music collection, here are a few tips and guidelines to follow.

1. Choose a song that has meaning to you both. Eventhough it’s known as the bride’s day, the groom should get a say too! After all, he is the leader on the dance floor ladies. We want our groom to be comfortable and confident so he can properly show off his new bride. The more the groom enjoys the music he is dancing to, the more inclined he will be to let loose and have fun!


2. Choose a song that shows off your personalities! The whole purpose of a wedding is to share your love of each other with everyone around you. When you bring forth what makes you shine and smile, your guests will feel your love and energy come out and a memorable moment is created!


3. Be mindful of the speed of your music. Choosing something that’s faster can work against you especially if you’ve had minimal dance experience or are on a short time schedule. We want you to look your absolute best when you are under the spotlight. Ask your instructor for their best recommendation if you are not sure. If you have the time in your schedule to take lessons and practice a few times a week, the possibilities are endless to make your dance look as special and exciting as you want!


4. And last but certainly not least, if having a memorable first dance is something that’s important to you, make the time to do it. Dance is a process that takes time and patience. Try not to wait until the week or even the month before the wedding to start taking lessons and putting your dance together. Give yourelves at least 4-6 months to get going and you’ll be happy you didn’t wait till the last minute because you will both be shining with confiedence!

What to Wear For YOUR First Dance

/in /by

first dance classes for wedding mesa azA-line, ball-gown, mermaid, trumpet, strapless, simple, flashy, sleek & sexy, big & loud. Wedding dresses can be so many things but how do we know which one is going to be perfect for your first dance as husband and wife? There are a few guidelines that I like to follow when choosing what to wear while you boogie down.

1. Try to choose a dress that your legs can move freely in. A mermaid or trumpet style isn’t quite ideal for dancing because they can be constricting below the waist. An A-line or even a ball-gown are great choices to show off your moves in. Those legs can move forward, back, up and down with ease as your new husband shows you off to your family and friends.

2. Go for dresses that have lighter fabric. Silk, tool and lace are great choices. Satin, cotton, and polyester are heavier fabrics that can make it more difficult to maneuver around the dance floor. On your wedding day, you want to feel light, airy and on top of the world, not heavy, bulky or weighed down. The less layers, the better!

3. If you go strapless, don’t forget the double sided tape! Ladies, in order to prevent your guests from getting a striptease, put some tape between your chest and dress. Especially for that big dip at the end! We don’t want to give them a show unless they are paying for it, hahaha!

4. The shoes! Stay away from platforms and anything higher than a 3 inch heel. In order to get that fluid, “dancing in the clouds” look, we must have a shoe that’s lower to the ground and is strapped securely to your foot. The worst thing would be kicking up your leg and hitting your grandmother in the face with your 6 inch platform. The lighter and lower to the floor your shoe is, the lighter we look up on top. If we wear a bulky shoe, we will be klunking around the dance floor looking like we weigh a thousand pounds heavier. We don’t want that! Go for small and strapy! Tip: You can also change your shoes for your dance and then change back into your platforms if you like.

Guys, I have a few tips for you too!

1. If possible, dancing without your jacket allows you to turn your wife with ease and grace. You could even incorporate your wife removing your jacket for you at the beginning of the dance before you start shakin’ it.

2. Dance shoes are a great investment! Tux rental shoes tend to be very slippery and the last thing you want in your photo album are shots of the groom taking a face dive into the dance floor during that special moment. Dance shoes allow a certain grip while still helping you look “smooth as butta”.

Take these helpful hints into consideration when showing off your moves on your wedding day. A great first dance can be a memory that will last forever for you and your guests!

Before Your Wedding Consultation at Dance FX Studios…

dance studios for wedding lessonsThis is Rachel here, wedding choreographer for Dance FX Studios for almost 7 years. Read these 3 things below that I recommend you do before coming in for your first wedding dance lesson and you’ll be on your way to a fun adventure with your fiance- one that you’ll remember forever!

1. Discuss with your significant other what he/she would like for their first dance. Knowing how your partner wants to look on the dance floor and communicating that with each other is half the battle. Coming into your lessons as a couple who also knows what they want as far as songs, budget and availability speeds up the process and gets you to your goals that much faster!

2. Try to have some song options picked out even if you are not set on any of them. A small guide can go a long way for your choreographer. I guarantee that I will always have more options for you to choose from once I understand the direction you are trying to go by listening to the type of music you like. Your first song is going to be a special one for years to come, so let’s not waste any time picking out the perfect one for you!

3. LADIES: Bringing in a photo of your wedding dress is very helpful. We want to make sure that everything goes absolutely perfect on your big day. Knowing what kind of dress we are working with helps your choreographer tailor your routine so you can sparkle your very brightest on the dance floor.

With these three tips, your first dance consultation will be a breeze. We will get you on the dance floor and, before you know it, you will have a one-of-a-kind dance to remember!
