Phoenix Male Dance Instructors Wanted
If you have been reading our past blogs or “liked” Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona on Facebook, you know we are looking for new instructors. Talented Dance Instructors, that is – the kind that smile all the time, are inspirational, confident and have a passion for sharing their joy of social ballroom dancing. No experience is needed, but if you dance Country, Latin, Swing or Argentine Tango here in Phoenix, Arizona, that is wonderful too! Not surprisingly, we have been interviewing a majority of female applicants. So today I am taking advantage of this blog to show the guys around town that cool men dance too!
Guys, you already know that a man that can dance is a hot commodity among us ladies. Now some of you are already leading us around the dance floor at the many Country bars and Latin clubs in the Phoenix metro area. Others of you are practicing your dance steps in front of the mirror at home, or even at work, when you think no one is watching. Just like the London man Sean, best known as the Ridiculed Dancing Man, we are waiting to discover you!
Did you know that the guy known as the Ridiculed Dancing Man was later was given a party with Pharrell Williams, Moby and 2,000 ladies? How’s that for cool!? Just think, knowing how to Country Two-Step or Swing dance can really pay off!
To get you guys motivated to take the first step to becoming a dance instructor with us at Dance FX Studios, or maybe just a great social dancer, here are some famous men that you may know, but had no idea they were also talented dancers…
Also known X-Men character Wolverine, sexy actor Hugh Jackman is also a singer and dancer who has performed in musicals, even winning a Tony Award for his role in The Boy from Oz. If you check the Dance FX Studios’ Facebook page, we have posted an amusing commercial which shows Mr. Jackman showing off his dancing skills.
Often playing an odd or strange person, he has appeared in over 100 film and television shows including The Deer Hunter, a personal favorite of mine, is Christopher Walken. If you are a fan of Saturday Night Live you may have seen him during the seven times he has guest hosted, however at least one of the times he broke into a dance routine on par with something you would view from Fred Astaire. This is because Walken enrolled in the Professional Children’s School in Manhattan at a very young age and trained extensively to become a dancer, learning tap, ballet and acrobatics. His early career was spent as a dancer in musicals, so in fact Christopher Walken is a trained dancer who fell into acting.
Christian Bale, maybe most well-known for the film American Psycho, grew up in a family of entertainers, training in more than one modality including performing as a clown, however his Mother was a dancer, Bale he began his dance training very early on when he was only a child.
Michael Fassbender, another X-Men, is a very good dancer, Patrick Wilson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Chris Hemsworth, Jean Dujardin and Adrien Lester, are all dancers! Ewan McGregor, who started his career singing as we viewed in his performance with Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge is also a dancer! Brad Pitt’s journey to stardom began as a dancer of a more unconventional type.
Not to leave the girls totally out of this, Bridgette Bardot, Elizabeth Berkley, Catherine Zeta-Jones, J. Lo, Debi Mazar, Madonna, Penelope Cruz and Zoe Saldana all started out becoming dancers!
Back to the guys … we know you are out there! What great company you will keep by being a wonderful social dancer! Guess what else? You could be the person to teach a beginner their first dance lesson, and later find out they became famous!
Why not try a career teaching dance? We will train you! Maybe you find your tedious IT Tech job boring and the only fun you have in your day is tapping your toes to the music playing on Spotify or Pandora? Or maybe as soon as you leave your office cubicle on Friday’s you drive straight to Denim and Diamonds in Mesa, Moonshine’s in Tempe or Handlebar J’s in Scottsdale for some Country Two-Step and Swing dancing.
