Discover These Top Three Popular Social Dances in Arizona!

rsz_1rsz_1dsc05535You may be wondering what kind of social dances are right for you. Will it be Swing dancing, Salsa dancing or maybe a little Country Two Step dancing will tickle your fancy!  At Dance FX Studios, we can turn you into a great social dancer in these dance styles and more! That way, when you come in for your Introductory Private Dance Lesson, you will get to explore all of the cool and useful dances that you need to know if you live here in Arizona.

Salsa dancing, you have to have it! It’s sexy, fast paced, playful and intimate. If you are looking to spice things up in your relationship, then Salsa Dance Lessons are a great way to start. A steamy dance where you are being held close can spark whatever you’re missing between you and your partner. If you’re single and looking to meet someone new, a night out Salsa dancing can create a great environment to do just that. You can meet friends who like the same type of music dance style. How fun is that!? In the future, you will always have the option of going out together and never have to argue about where to go. 🙂

Swing dancing is another popular social dance style of dance here in Arizona. There are many different types of Swing dances, but we have a few favorites here at Dance FX Studios. With Jitterbug or Country Swing Dance Lessons, you can see how great it is to know how to Swing dance. Beginner’s Swing dancing, from West Coast Swing to Jitterbug is very exciting and can be complimented by all styles of Jazz music, Big Band, Rock and Roll and even Hip Hop music! It’s great to Swing dance where there is live music, so be sure to look for local places to go Swing dancing in Phoenix.

Country Swing is less bouncy, but still just as fun! All of the newest Country songs you hear on the radio can mostly likely be danced to with Country Swing steps or Country Two Step dance moves.

This brings us to our last, but not least, popular social dance, the Country Two Step. Country Two Step dancing is the most asked for style these days. There are so many styles of the Two Step, but we teach the one we think is easiest and works best for a social dance floor, Arizona Two Step. Also known as Rhythm Two Step, the Arizona Two Step is the best Two Step that we have found that works for a real world situation. The Arizona Two Step is a medium paced dance that is easy to learn and can be used on any dance floor. Even though it is a traveling dance, our instructors can teach you everything you need to know to keep your partner from bumping into other couples with a few Country Two Step Dance Lessons. As mentioned above, just like the Country Swing, the Country Two Step can be danced to almost any current Country music. This is what people like most because bar deejays tend to play current music.

Have you picked a favorite social dance style yet? If you can’t decide, then let us help you out with our New Student Offer for an Introductory Private Dance Lesson. Our incredible social dance instructors can show you in person what each one of these dances looks like. From there, you can choose which ones you would like to explore.  Come visit us today and let the fun begin!

A Night on the Town Country Dancing in Arizona

rsz_11dsc05487At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona we love taking our students out for a night out on the town. Recently we hosted a night out Country Dancing at Cactus Moon and had such a great time! Here’s why we love having our Nights Out.

Taking our students out to our local Country bar for some Country Two Step and Swing dancing can really show what a social environment is actually like in the real world. Once you start taking Country Dance Lessons with us you, will learn that everything we teach is based on navigating smoothly around the dance floor. It can be pretty difficult keeping your partner from bumping into other couples while you’re dancing, but we love teaching all of the things you need to know to become successful at it. Once you finally go out (whether it’s with us on a night out or by yourself) you will understand what we mean and why we focus so much on our lead and follow technique.

When you get the opportunity to spend a night with us Country Dancing you won’t want to say no. This is a great way to meet new people who enjoy the same hobbies that you love, and if you’re single, you could possibly meet someone new that you can ask on a date… a night out Country dancing perhaps?

If you are lucky enough to already have a partner, you can meet other couples who are experiencing the same dance journey that you are and spark some new conversation. On top of meeting great new people, you will have the chance to dance with your instructor and even other instructors that you haven’t had the chance to have a Private Dance Lesson with. You could ask for a few pointers while you’re dancing with them, and if you’re nervous, they can help ease your worries.

It can be hard to squeeze in practice time with everyone’s busy lives, but we strongly urge you to get as much practice as possible. The best way to remember anything is by repetition, and what better way than to have fun with it? Try going out Country dancing in Arizona as much as you can in one week and see how confident you feel by Saturday. We can promise you the results will be worth the practice time!

When you join us for a Night Out, you get to add even more practice time and have a great time doing it. You will also get to practice how to ask someone you don’t know how to dance. Which can be a pretty nerve-wracking thing to think about, but like we said before, the more you do it, the more confidence you will have. More confidence means you won’t be as nervous and you can just think about dancing the night away.

These are just some of the reasons why we love going out Country Dancing with our students. If you want to experience a great time with us, try our New Student Offer for Country Two Step Dance Lessons so you can prepare for the time of your life dancing with the staff and students of Dance FX Studios.
