Arizona Wedding Season is Coming!

/in /by

Teacher and student dancing in Mesa, ArizonaFlooding or not, wedding season is upon us! Since it’s usually too hot for Summer weddings in Phoenix, our wedding season falls a little later in the year. Whether you’re planning a Fall or Winter wedding or you’re looking to be a Spring bride, now is the time to look into one of your biggest moments… Your first dance! At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ, we accommodate every bridal couple we can, no matter what your budget or time frame. We offer different types of wedding dance lessons, so which one is right for you?

Is your wedding elegant and classic? If you want to sick with a more standard wedding, it doesn’t mean you have to stick with the prom sway. We can help you learn a simple and sweet first dance that doesn’t take away from the simple beauty of your big day, but still makes you look like a star. Whether you have 6 months or 2 weeks, our wedding consultants can help you create the perfect first dance, without it looking overdone or choreographed.

However, if you’re looking to be a little more of a rockstar, we also offer Rock Your Reception wedding dance lessons! This can be anything from a fun Swing dance number to a a flashy Salsa dance routine to anything you else you can imagine. Although we specialize in partner dance, we have done our fair share of wild and crazy first dances. Although these usually need a little more time – we recommend starting dance lessons at least 6 months before the wedding – we can also help you rock it out with a crash course. Just be ready to sweat!

Now, we do more than just make you look great for your first dance… We also want to help you shine for the rest of the reception! We offer social dance lessons (at a discount when we do your first dance!) for brides and grooms who want to keep dancing all night! If you’re having a Country wedding, why not learn how to Two Step? You’ll have Country music playing all night, so you might as well be able to dance to it. Dance FX Studios is known for our unique teaching style that focuses on true lead and follow. Instead of just teaching routines and patterns, we teach you how to really communicate on the dance floor so you can dance to all your favorite songs, instead of just one.

Still don’t know what to do for your first dance? Stop by our studio in Mesa, Arizona and meet with one of our wedding dance consultants. We’ve choreographed thousands of first dances, so we can hep you figure out what is right for you. We will also help you find the right song, dance style, and answer any questions you may have about your big day. If you aren’t interested in wedding dance lessons, but still want to get out on the dance floor, join us for private dance lessons or fun group dance classes! We offer Latin Dancing, Country Dancing, Ballroom Dancing, Argentine Tango and more. Let us make your perfect day even more perfect.

Private dance lessons are available by appointment Monday-Friday from 12-8 pm and on Saturdays from 10 am-3 pm. For more information, call us today at 480.968.6177.

2014 Wedding Trends

2014 Wedding Trends

/in /by

2014 Wedding Trends, DanceFx Studios, Wedding Dance LessonsWedding trends are always changing, so it’s pretty easy to lose track of what’s still hot and what’s not. Some trends fade mid-season while new ones pop up, and some stay constant throughout the season. From the ever-cool surprise first dance to adding color to your gown, here are a few of our favorites this year, 2014:

Blush Tones

The hottest color in both bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses is blush tones. Long gone are the days of the bright magenta bridesmaid dress (thank goodness!)! Brides this season are opting for a more subtle look. Stick with pale pinks, soft corals, and nudes when out shopping with your girls. But these mild tones aren’t just limited to the ladies around you. Be bold and add some pink into your gown. Designers are doing everything from a fully pink gown to ombre effects for their brides-to-be. If you still want to keep the white gown, consider adding in a small pop of pink to your bouquet or shoes. Blush tones

Flash Mobs and Surprise Dances

Although fun first dances aren’t necessarily new to weddings, this season has been taking it to a new level. Viral videos of fun, choreographed wedding dances are appearing all over the internet! These dances can be so exciting and can range from a beautiful intimate dance between husband and wife to a crazy, full-fledged Swing dance number with the groom and his groomsmen. If you aren’t a natural dancer, find a dance studio near you and get a professional’s help. If you’re in the greater Phoenix area, Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona can get you on the right path. We’ve choreographed spicy Salsa dance numbers, original Ballroom dances, and even sensual Argentine Tango routines. Or, if you’re just looking to upgrade from the 8th-grade sway, basic wedding dance lessons can give you a smoother, more elegant look.

Vintage

2014 is really bringing class and elegance back to the wedding world. With inspiration from the Great Depression era, brides and grooms are going back to a classic look and feel of times past. Feathers and lace have made a definite comeback in both the dress and decor. Hair embellishments in lieu of veils, black and white themes, and marquees are all great additions to your wedding.

No matter what theme or look you go for, the most important part of your wedding is that it matches you and your unique personalities. This is your day, so if you want to make your own trend, go for it! Keep it classy, keep it happy, and have fun getting married!
