Are you going to the gym a couple times a week, and feeling like you’re not accomplishing much? Are you bored with the same old thing? Something big could be missing from your everyday workout routine that can give you that boost of confidence that comes from looking and feeling your best. What is that thing?? Social dancing, of course!

I’m sure you already considered the possibility that there may be other ways to elevate your heartbeat besides running on that awful treadmill for 30 mins a day, three days a week. Wouldn’t it be so much more fun and rewarding if you could get fit while doing something that you love, like salsa or swing dancing? I’ll tell you where the real joy is; it’s being excited to be healthy and doing it with a smile on your face! So, if you have ever pondered any of these questions about your fitness, then I have some great news for you! In this blog I’m going to discuss the benefits of why someone would come in to Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona for fitness, rather than getting a gym membership.

Multiple studies have been done around the world proving the fact that dancing is one of the very best exercises you could possibly do throughout your life. In a previous blog called “The many benefits of social ballroom dancing“, we discovered that in a 21-year study done by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City that ballroom dancing was the only physical activity to offer some kind of protection against dementia! Dancing has the greatest risk reduction to mental deterioration than that of any other activity studied, mental or physical! How incredible is that?! So yes indeed, dancing is a sure way to quickly get healthy, gain confidence, and while doing so, extending the longevity of your mental health and stability!
It seems that if dancing has so many more benefits than just regular workouts, why not find a dance membership to a local studio near you? Here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we can help you reach your fitness goals in a much more exciting way. With Group Dance Classes and Private Dance Lessons for singles and couples, you’re investing own your mental, physical, social and emotional health. (Yes, there are that many reasons to learn to social dance!)

With our our new Club FX Membership, you’ll enjoy all of your favorite dance styles, from Country Two Step dancing to Latin dancing, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you start to feel healthier! Membership does have its perks too! You will gain access to exclusive dance videos, dance discounts on lessons and special events and so much more, with a Club FX Membership. For just $99 for six months of classes (one per week), you really can’t go wrong.

What’s even more amazing about investing in yourself with adult dance lessons is that you can burn up to 450 calories in an hour, and at the same time that you’re getting your workout, you’re also having a blast by learning new moves and building confidence! Going to your local gym isn’t usually a stress-free environment, nor is it too creative or fun, but dance lessons provide you with an appropriate outlet for all that built up stress and anxiety, and assist you in unwinding in a positive and productive way.

Getting healthy is more than just about how we look after we complete a workout. Most important is how we feel about ourselves when we’re finished with our workout. Now I’m not saying that going to the gym will not provide you with these wonderful feelings. In fact, going to the gym will most definitely make you feel good. However, varying your workout is ideal. Adult dance classes may be just what your workout routine was missing to give you those all-around benefits that come with feeling healthy, while challenging you in the best way possible! So stop wasting your valuable time and money by just going to the gym, and join us here at Dance FX Studios to start your journey on becoming truly healthy in body, mind and spirit!
