Why Country Dance Lessons are Great for Couples

Country dance lessons in ArizonaAre you a little bit Country, but your boyfriend is more Rock-n-Roll? That’s OK! Let’s talk about something perfect for both of you to enjoy together… Country dancing! And what do you need to become awesome Country dancers? Well, Country Dance Lessons, of course.

Country dancing is so hot right now, that if you don’t know how to Two Step or Swing dance, you’re really missing out. While other twosomes are spinning and twirling out on the dance floor, you’re going to be sitting on the sidelines wishing you knew how to do what they can do. Now that’s no fun! Even worse, she’ll begin accepting dances from other guys and you’ll be bellied up to the bar with your beer all night.

With Country Dance Lessons for beginners under your belt, you’ll have the confidence to take your gal out anywhere, anytime. You’ll see through private dance instruction, which is the best way to learn in my opinion, that all the questions on how Country dancing works can be answered. For example, and this is a biggie, “How do I get her to spin comfortably?” is a common question that guys need to know. With one-on-one lessons, you will learn to lead on the dance floor as a guy, and how to follow, as the lady. With that skill alone, you can do anything. How empowering is that!? I would say it’s the key to a successful night out Country dancing!

For couples, Country dancing can also bring you closer together. (Who knew??) When you take lessons to explore exciting Country dances, from the Two Step to the ever-popular Country Swing, you will discover how to work together as a team. This effort alone will be a fun challenge that will allow you to both accomplish your goals on the dance floor. From there, you can really have a blast Country Western dancing!

And let’s not forget the physical perks of going out dancing on the weekends. When you put down the ice cream and pry yourselves off the couch, you can burn up to 500 calories and hour Country dancing. You will also be using muscles that you didn’t know you had, so be prepared to shed a few pounds and gain some muscle…on your date night with your sweetie! Bonus!

Lastly, dancing is romantic. Whether you’re giving Country dancing a try, or learning how to Salsa dance, you will be doing it together, in each other’s arms. There’s really nothing more intimate than that when it comes to an incredible date night with one another.

In case you’re wondering, “What exactly is Country Dancing?”, let me help.  Like a lot of other current popular dances, Country dancing developed from folk dances to become one of the top social partner dances in the United States today. If Country music is being played, and it is often these days, you’ve got to know how to blend in with the handful of dances are “in” today, including Country Two Step, Country Swing, Line Dancing, West Coast Swing, Nite Club Two Step and Country Waltz. Each of these unique styles will keep you busy on your dance lessons as you become well-rounded and competent dancers.

Connect With New Friends Through Social Dancing

adult dance lessons arizonaHave you ever thought of how cool it would be to know how to Salsa dance, Swing dance or Country Western dance? Think about the idea of actually holding and touching a real person, instead of your phone or tech gadget, by giving social  dance lessons a try.

One of the best ways to offset “social media syndrome” is to get out there and start connecting with the real world. Meeting new people at your local dance studio for adults is a fun and exciting way to do just that! Once your eyes connect with another person who also loves to Latin dance or Country dance, you’ll be so glad you put your device down and chose to spend time dancing instead.

Trying new experiences like social dancing instead of looking at life through the internet makes our lives so much richer. And if we’re going to document everything that we do on Facebook, or other social media sites, then we should have something cool and interesting to share, right? I mean, which one of your friends wouldn’t be envious of seeing you sweep a hot girl off of her feet on the dance floor, or want to check out that good-looking guy who you spent the whole night Swing dancing with? Not only would they be jealous, but I bet they might want to join in the fun of learning to Country Two Step dance or Ballroom dance too!

Looking over someone’s shoulder at the latest popular YouTube video is about the closest many of us get to body to body contact. Most of our Friday and Saturday nights are spent watching a movie or reading an e-book because, in reality, the friends we can physically go out with are few in numbers. When you know how to social dance, that’s OK! Pick your favorite place to go Country dancing and see how many people you’ll soon meet once you show them your dance moves. Yes! Every lady loves a guy that can dance!  There are so many more reasons to leave the virtual world behind and step into reality than you think. Getting social not only increases online connections, it builds your confidence like nothing else can!

That’s right, social dancing is an incredibly cool way to meet new people, while also discovering an exciting hobby! Going out to night clubs or events where there’s a chance to dance is a blast-especially when you’re the one who know’s what to do on the dance floor. Connections found through dancing will build to the point that your social calendar of activities will be full. Unlike Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter, dancing with another person is real, face-to-face interaction. Instead of posting a picture of your dinner on your home page or spending date nights in front of a computer screen Skype-ing, why not go out Salsa Dancing?!

Imagine meeting your new potential girl or guy out at a dance club knowing you already feel comfortable anywhere there is dancing. You two can spend some romantic time actually getting to know each other while dance to create and keep passion in your relationship that will last a lifetime. You can’t use a computer or cell phone while dancing so both of you will be looking and interacting with full attention on each other. How great is that?! Go out together at least once a week and you’ll notice a lot more happiness in how you feel about yourself, your friendships and your romantic relationship, guaranteed!

Learning a variety of social dances like the Country Two Step, Swing or Salsa gets you out from behind your device and into the big wide world. Social dancing offers many benefits as it is incredibly upbeat and can lighten your mood in just about any atmosphere. Start with beginner’s dance lessons for adults and see how you can start getting out into the real world and having amazing interactions today!  If you live anywhere in the Phoenix East Valley, our dance studio for adults is just minutes away.
