Most people encounter social dancing for the first time at weddings or other social events. When they look on to the dance floor, it is often with admiration, and sometimes even jealousy, that everyone is smiling from ear to ear in enjoyment. Oftentimes,   fond memories of dancing with your friends and family is what most people remember as the highlight of the night. And why not, social dancing, from Country Two Step to Swing and Slow dancing romantic, exciting and great fun!

No matter what the activity, most people are focused on having a great time. With regard to dancing, as long as you’re out there shaking your bodies to a musical beat, there’s no need to fuss about details or technique, right? For social purposes, that is true. And kudos for even having the courage to get on that dance floor. However, when you begin to go out Swing or Tango dancing regularly, you will notice that there are people on the dance floor who are much better than you. In fact, those “better” dancers stay out on the dance floor a lot longer than everyone else. How did they get to be so great as social dancers? Here’s how:

Private dance lessons: After investing in private dance lessons in popular dance styles like the Country Swing or Bachata, you realize that when you go out dancing, it is a LOT MORE FUN! You find you share an unspoken comradery with other good social dancers in the club, and the attractive men or beautiful women want to dance with you because you know what you are doing. What’s coolest about social dance lessons is that you can really learn how to lead or follow, putting yourself in demand on the dance floor as you are easier to dance with. Plus, making your dance partner look good is never a bad thing…

Being a great dancer does not mean you are a snob or on a level above anyone else on the dance floor. It simply means you enjoy more social interaction with a wider group of people and now have a valuable tool which allows you to meet many more new people.  You are now trained to be aware of the music, navigate a crowed dance floor and giving any dance partner you dance with an exciting evening.

The good news is, it’s not hard to become a great social dancer. Here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we have been teaching people how to achieve their goal of becoming confident social dancers for almost 15 years. Sure, learning how to dance Country, Latin or the Argentine Tango takes a bit of time and practice, but just like surfing, bowling, knitting, or learning to use a computer, anything new is easy once you have the attitude of a committed mind. Investing in yourself means you accept that there are many things that increase your enjoyment in life once you have moved beyond the beginning stage.

During your process of discovering dance, you moves will become second nature. Many good dancers felt they had two left feet before they started. It may take a while to become a well-rounded accomplished dancer, but the effort is worth it. The instructors at Dance FX Studios were all beginners too at one point. We happily welcome newcomers and want to help anyone who decides they want to dance.
