wedding dance lessons mesa arizonaHelping our Arizona brides and grooms start their lives together with the perfect wedding dance is one of the most joyous rewards we feel here at Dance FX Studios… especially every time a “thank you” note arrives on our doorstep. We want you to treasure your lives together, so get things going on the right foot with Wedding Dance Lessons from us!

Wedding Dance Lessons from one of our amazing choreographers means that you’re going to get a one-of-a-kind first dance made just for you. Our goal is to give you a routine that will set just the right tone for your guests. Are you looking for a wedding dance that is out of the box? Like original choreography that will really Rock Your Reception? We can make that happen! As an example, Country Western dancing is so hot right now. Maybe starting with a slow dance and then surprising your friends and family with a flashy Country Two Step filled with turns and spins will be the perfect addition to your party that will blow their boots off of everyone. Or how about a sexy Argentine Tango wedding dance? You choose the dance style and we’ll bring it to life, with your personalities and personal style in mind.

We have done it all here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona. Our talented instructors and choreographers will listen to your ideas about what you would like to express and create something personalized and jaw-dropping just for you! Maybe Star Wars is your boyfriend’s thing? Or maybe Gone with the Wind is your girlfriend’s thing? What if you’re both obsessed with Disney movies? Why not put some time into learning some customized choreography to have a seemingly impromptu space robot dance to the music of Star Wars, Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina scene emerging from the middle of something sweet and elegant? What a surprise that will be! A treat for everyone that gives you the perfect first dance and will impress your guests, leaving them with something to talk about for years to come.

What about a first dance that is more subdued? Let’s do it! An elegant ballroom dance can be the cherry on top of a romantic wedding affair. We can do a “sweet and simple” wedding dance that will still WOW your audience. Sometime less really is more.

Another priority of ours is to help you create lasting memories as a couple. Each time you come to your Private Dance Lessons, you will be working as a team, connecting and spending precious time together developing a new skill and hobby. That’s an incredible way to start a marriage! As I always say, couples that dance together, stay together. 😉

If you want to take dance lessons for your wedding but you have never danced before, or are worried about being a terrible dancer, let the fear stop here! During your Wedding Dance Consultation with us, and throughout your Wedding Dance Lessons, our staff will pay specific attention to your rate and style of learning, so that you get the most out of your investment. Whether you want to learn to Salsa dance or to Swing dance, we will make sure that you have the tools you need to kick butt on that dance floor! Just know that we believe that anyone can learn to dance. Yes…even you! All you need is the right information, and the rest will fall into place.

Wedding dance consultations are offered at our Mesa, Arizona dance studio throughout the week for your convenience. Monday through Friday we can accommodate you from noon to 8 pm by appointment. On Saturdays, we are also available by appointment from 11 am to 4 pm. If you’re wondering how soon before the wedding to get started, the short answer is four to six months, depending on how elaborate you would like your first dance to look. We have begun preparations as soon as a year in advance or as short as several weeks prior to wedding days, but, with more notice, you will really look and feel your best. Call us or inquire on our website with any questions you may have or to schedule your consultation today at 480-968-6177. We look forward to hearing from you!

How to Prepare for a Wedding Dance Consultation

/in /by

rsz_1rsz_dsc06078Your boyfriend got down on one knee and asked you one of the most important questions in life, “will you marry me?” We hope you said yes, and if you did, there is a lot of planning to be done. By this stage in your life you probably have your entire wedding envisioned and can’t wait to make it come to life. One of the biggest parts of your wedding is the first dance as a married couple. You know that it needs to be perfect, so you book a Wedding Dance Consultation with Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona. We are so excited to help you to shine on your wedding day. Here’s a bit of advice to help you prepare for your consultation.

One thing that really helps us out a lot when it comes to creating the most amazing first dance for you is when we receive a list of songs that you love. We will want to know what moves you about the song so that we can make your wedding dance truly special. Our incredible wedding consultants will determine which style of dance we will teach you based on your favorite song, so choosing what you like in advance is key.  If you are a couple who wants something simple and sweet, we can do something elegant and easy for you to learn. If you are a couple who enjoys shock factor every once in a while, we can “Rock Your Reception” with a surprise first dance that will blow your friends and family out of the water. Either way you go, your audience will be talking about your first dance for months on end.

Another great thing to bring in for your Wedding Dance Consultation is information on what you plan to be wearing. If your wedding dress is something that is tight fitting or uncomfortable to dance in, you may want to consider changing…at least for your first dance. When we know what you will be wearing, we can play around with the choreography and make sure that every move is do-able in your dream dress. As for the groom, once we know if you’ll be in a suit or a tux, we can best direct you on whether or not to keep your jacket on. It can be extremely difficult to make a turn look smooth while your arms are constricted in a tux jacket. A tip for our brides and grooms: Ladies, please avoid a sky high heel. It is almost impossible to feel comfortable as a beginner dancer while wearing stilettos or platform shoes. Guys, consider investing in a professional dance shoe. They will look exactly like a regular dress shoe, but they will be much more comfortable and easier to dance in (and you can use your dancing shoes in the future when the two of you go out dancing). 😉

The last important piece of information that can really help us out is anything you can tell us about your venue. We want to know about the size of your dance floor, where your guests will be sitting, and everything else in regards to your layout of the room. This is important because we don’t want you doing your wedding dance and realize half way through that not everyone can see you.  Your loved want to see your beautiful faces.

Will you be having a band, a deejay, or both? Once we edit your wedding dance music to make it fit your first dance perfectly, we want to make sure that you will have somewhere to play it. We will always email a copy of your music to your deejay for you, as well as get you a copy so that you will have practice music while you are learning your special dance.

There really isn’t such thing as too much information that you can bring us on your Wedding Dance Consultation. Our priority is to make you look your best on that dance floor so that your first dance can be the highlight of your reception. Dance FX Studios is located in Mesa, Arizona on the southeast corner of Dobson Rd and Guadalupe Rd. Make an appointment for your Wedding Dance Consultation today and we will have you shining on the dance floor in no time!

With wedding dance lessons under your belt, you will be sure to look natural and smooth on that dance floor for your first dance. Why prepare in advance for your first dance? Let us explain…

1. Wedding dance lessons give your guests a special memory to treasure: Sure, you can “fake it” out there, or even do the 8th grade prom sway for 5 minutes straight (boooorrriiing). Or, you can take the time to have something original and unique put together for you that will leaving a lasting impression on your friends and family. Keep in mind that with private wedding dance lessons, you can share your personalities and vision of your perfect first dance with your choreographer so that the routine that you learn can be customized for you.

Not everyone wants a slow dance into a side by side Hip Hop dance, or a wild Swing dance routine. If you’re looking for something simple and elegant, you can express that to your dance instructor so that your wedding dance can reflect you as a married couple. That is the benefit of private dance lessons.

The best way to get started learning to dance for your wedding is with a Wedding Dance Consultation. Find a local ballroom dance studio and see what they offer in the way of meeting and discussing what you would like for your first dance. Consultations are key to begin the process of personalizing your dance routine.

2. Dance lessons builds confidence. When you know what you’re doing, of course you will be able to relax and enjoy this special moment on the dance floor that much more. Your first dance as a married couple is your opportunity to show to the world how much you love each other. Through each lesson, you will get more and more self-assured as you see how this whole mysterious dance “thing” works. Then, you can spend more time having fun, and less time stressing about how uncoordinated and uncomfortable you feel about dancing.

3. Wedding dance lessons provide much needed stress-relief from wedding day planning. Speaking of stress, dance lessons for couples are a wonderful way to lift that wedding planning weight right off of your shoulders. When couples learn to dance, whether it’s for their wedding or not, they must work together as a team for a common goal…to have fun! With your partner by your side, you will soon have a new skill with the love of your life that you can enjoy for years to come! From “cutting a rug” at your friend’s weddings to enjoying Country Two Step dancing at the bars on the weekends, your new hobby will keep you connected and smiling at any social event.

More Wedding Dance Tips…

/in /by

istock_000005697257smallThe last thing you should have to worry about when planning your wedding is your first dance as husband and wife. It is easy to get caught up in all of the wedding planning and forget some last minute details, such as the first dance that you will have as a married couple. To help ease the stress that may be surrounding this special part of your wedding, here are a few tips and ideas to get you started in planning your first dance.

One thing you will need to do is plan out is the vision you have for your first dance. To help you determine what type of dance you would like to do, whether it is fast, slow, romantic, or fun, you can pick out your song choice for your first dance. Pick something that the both of you like and are comfortable with, as it will be a long lasting memory. The song that you choose for your first dance will help you set the tone for the remainder of your wedding reception and is a way to let each other, and everyone else, know how you two feel about each other and what kind of relationship you have.

Next, it will be helpful to decide if you would like to prepare a dance for the parents of the bride and groom. Honor dances, as they are called, are a superb way to highlight and show gratitude to your parents. Do you have a special father/daughter song that you and dad have been listening to since you were little? Or how about a mother/son dance to show thanks for everything that mom has done for you.

Since your first dance represents your families coming together as you are united as husband and wife, you probably should not go onto the dance floor and plan to sway back and forth. If you record a video of your wedding reception, most likely you are not going to want to watch yourself bobbing along on the dance floor with your new spouse. So the last tip, or piece of advice, that we will leave you with is to come visit us for help with preparing your first dance customized just for you! You will leave a lasting memory in the minds and hearts of your guests and have a keepsake to treasure for a lifetime.

Finally, plan ahead! Learning to dance is a process and we want you to shine on your wedding day. Give yourself at least 3-4 months for a dance that will include style and flair. That way, you will look natural and dance with confidence and poise.

If you are in need of a dance studio with to help choreograph your first dance and/or to help you pick out a song that represents you as a couple, Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, is just the place for you!
