/in /by

rsz_1rsz_dsc05533Here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we love to Country Dance! Don’t you? It’s so fun, freeing and not to mention, a very popular and useful skill to have. Yep, Country dancing is here to stay in Arizona and, if you don’t know how to Country Swing dance, there’s no better time than now to learn. Country Swing Dancing is incredible because of how upbeat and fun it is! Here are a few more reasons why we think you should take Country Swing Dance Lessons with us…

Country Swing is one of the most popular Country dances out there right now! Any Country bar you go  to will most likely be playing lots of up tempo Country dance songs, and Country Swing dancing can be done to most of them. Now you may see lots of Arizona dancers doing flips or something that you are unfamiliar with, or moves that even look uncomfortable. With the skills and proper techniques that you will learn at our dance studio, you will learn the correct way to Country dance and discover what works in social dance situations, and what doesn’t. That way, once you do go out dancing, you’ll be able to feel confident asking someone to dance. You’ll have everyone on the floor wishing they could look like you! Every lady and guy will also want the chance to dance with you.

With Private Country Swing Dance Lessons , you will get the boost of confident that you need! Everyone around you will be extremely jealous once you tell them about your amazing new talents. Plus, you will be able to show them all of the great moves you’ve been learning with us once you take them out. We’re not saying you should flaunt your stuff in front of everyone, but it is a good opportunity to impress the right people. If you’re single, there is no doubt being a great dancer will help you meet the right person. Women love men that know how to dance and take control on the floor, and men also love a girl who knows how to follow and who doesn’t try to take charge. With Country Swing Dance Lessons our instructors can teach you everything you need to know for a fun night out!

Country Dance Lessons (or ANY dance lessons for that matter) are a great hobby. You are constantly learning as a dancer in your dance journey. There will never be a day where you don’t want to add something new to your dancing tool belt! We would love to be the one to create the beginning steps of your own journey so that you can look great while enjoying a fun hobby. If you’re working all week, you can turn Country Swing Dancing into a weekend way to unwind from your job. Let go of the stress from your work week and shake it off on the dance floor! There will always be new places for you to try your Country Swing dance moves so you will never feel stuck in one bar with the same people. Dancing is a hobby that has many enthusiasts and with that in mind, you will create many new friendships with people who enjoy doing the same things you enjoy doing.

Top Three Reasons Why Every Guy Should Take Country Dance Lessons

/in /by

Country Swing lessons in ArizonaHello gentlemen, this is a special blog just for you.  As you are aware, we are living in the Southwest, and in the Southwest Country music is a big deal.  It plays a major role in the culture here, as we host one of the largest country music festivals in the U.S. (Country Thunder) every year. Phoenix, Arizona is also the home of many amazing Country bars and hot spots.  As my little brother calls it, Country music is “American” music.  Seeing as this genre of music plays such a key role in our southwestern culture, I think it’s quite important that every man learn to Country 2-step and Country Swing dance, wouldn’t you agree?

 

Notice the next time you go out to a Country bar how many women are standing around the dance floor and how many men are doing the same.  Now note how many of those women are actually there to dance. I guarantee it is most of them.  It seems we, women, are all secretly fighting for the attention of the men in the room who can actually Country dance.  If there are men standing around the floor, they are there for one of two reasons; to watch jealously, or to attempt to take a sweet breath of air before the next sweetheart asks for his precious time.  Take note, gents.  Who is getting the attention of the ladies in the room?  It’s the guys who can dance.  Why?  Because women love to dance, and women are looking for a man to sweep them off their feet. (wink.wink.)

 

Now, I feel as if there is a stigma declaring dancing as a female hobby.  While I believe this couldn’t be further from the truth, I can’t ignore the number of couples I have coming into Dance FX Studios here in Mesa, Arizona where I teach expressing the need for the gentlemen in the pair to learn how to dance.  The woman, more times than not, has some kind of dance background, and is at the studio with her partner seeking our help to get him ready go out.  Again, women love to dance, and we are looking for a partner to sweep us off our feet!  However, what I don’t think men always realize is, partner dancing requires two equal roles.  In this partnership there is a very strong need for a leader.  The leader is you.  You run the show, men.  I know many of you enjoy taking charge of situations, and this is the perfect opportunity for you to do so.  As the leader it is your duty to determine how the dance looks.  You choose when and where the moves occur.  Your lady is along for the ride.  Hopefully, if you are a good, strong lead (which we can help you develop with Private Country Dance Lessons), you will provide her with a comfortable, fun time, and she’ll want to continue dancing with you.

 

It’s important to know the music you’re dancing to.  To be able to hear how fast or slow a song is.  You don’t want to be doing a bunch of fast moves to a slow song.  It looks awkward.  You should be able to feel the beat and act accordingly.  If Sam Hunt’s “House Party” comes on the sound system, how do you want to look?  What moves should you do?  It’s so important to feel the ebb and flow of a song, the high points—the low points.  This makes a dancer look that much better on the floor.  Every person at Dance FX Studios is taught how to dance on time with the music when they enter their General Studies Program.  We want you to look that good.  We want you to not only get the girl, but treat her right on the dance floor, and look amazing doing it.
