Country Dance Events in Mesa, Arizona

/in /by

rsz_1rsz_dsc02974Wow! We really had an amazing time this last Saturday at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona! Thanks to the amazing local Phoenix Country band, Two-bit Shotgun, playing great Country music, we danced the night away.

Did you know that as a beginner Country dancer that you too are able to attend our events? You can! If you live in Phoenix and you are looking for dance events that are not necessarily at a bar, you are more than welcome to join us. Our parties can benefit you as a Country dancer in so many ways. Here are just a few…

  1. When we have any kind of party at our studio, you get to dance with people who have the same goals as you, to be a confident social dancer. You know that everyone who is taking Private Country Dance Lessons with us will be discovering dance and needing to practice what they are learning. What better time than at one of our parties, with all of our amazing dance instructors there to help! On that note, our dance parties are also a great way to meet new people, potential dance partners and friends. You will definitely meet a ton of new people who you know you will enjoy going out Country dancing with you around town with in the future. The exciting part is that you never know who you will meet by coming to a party here at Dance FX Studios! 🙂

2. We always encourage our students to practice so that they can become great social dancers. What better way than to practice with other students just like you? There will be plenty of students who are at the beginning of their Country dance journey just like you. Not only that, but students who may have been taking lessons longer than you can show you what it really takes to become a great dancer in a social environment. It can take a lot of hours dedicated to your dance lessons as well as practice time to create an amazing dancer, but we like to help make it easier for you to practice, so instead of having to push away your couches and practice in your living room, you get to enjoy some live Country dance music, get to know new people, and get in those practice hours.

3. Attending one of our events helps you understand what a real life social dance situation looks like. If you feel like you might not be ready to go out into that big scary dance world, come hang out with us and see that it’s not as bad as it looks. Don’t be too intimidated, just have fun while attending a party because we definitely know how to have fun! In fact, we offer a Country Swing or Two Step dance class in the beginning of the party so that you can learn a few more new moves that you get to show off throughout the night. You can great great tips like how to keep your partner from bumping into other couples on the dance floor. That way when you really do go out Country dancing, no one will get upset with you.

How can you prepare for a great party such as this last one? Check out our New Student Offer for Country Dance Lessons and we will teach you everything you need to know about getting ready to dance in the real world. In fact, that is our main goal at almost any dance lesson. We strive to help you feel comfortable anytime you go out dancing, whether it’s at our studio, or at a Country bar.
