Yes, right here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we can help you to reach your fitness goals in an much more entertaining way…with Private Dance Lessons in your favorite dance styles, from Country Two Step to Salsa!

Why Dancing Can be Intimidating

/in /by

rsz_1rsz_dsc05806Starting something new and unfamiliar can always be a challenging feat. At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona we love to challenge our students! Just remember, some things that seem scary at first usually end up being not so bad or even enjoyable after that first try.

Imagine being ten years old again and your family decides to take a day trip to the local swimming pool. The first thing you notice is that high dive and as you watch other kiddos your age jump off you ask yourself… “How in the world can they do that?” All day you sit and watch everyone else have fun and once you finally get the nerve to climb up those stairs you kind of want to back out at the last second. It’s too late though because someone is behind you waiting for their turn to jump. So you do it! Then you realize hey… that wasn’t so bad after all.  You spend the rest of your time jumping off the high dive you swore you would never jump off of. Any type of social dancing, whether it’s Country Two Step or Salsa dancing, is exactly like this…

A lot of times when you go to a bar (a Country one especially) you see tons of couples who look like they know what they are doing because they dip, flip, and twirl with ease. In all reality though, that couple probably only knows what they have memorized and can’t dance with other partners who do not know the same routine they memorized. You really shouldn’t be intimidated or scared to get on the dance floor, because after a few Country Dance Lessons with us you will be looking better than them in no time. Our studio teaches a lead and follow technique which can help you be successful when it comes to dancing with anyone you want, not just the partner you showed up with.

Another factor of dancing that can feel uncomfortable is asking a stranger to dance with you. You don’t know this person and that person doesn’t know you! What if he/she doesn’t like the way you dance? It can all become a big ball of fear and anxiety in the pit of your stomach. If we are being honest, the worst thing that could happen is someone saying no to you, but the odds are in your favor! Just because one person who doesn’t want to dance (maybe they are scared!) doesn’t mean that the 20 other potential dance partners in the room will say no as well! Eventually one of them will say yes and then
you can show the last guy/lady what they are missing out on. 😉

Come and see what we’re talking about. Dance FX Studios can show you that there really is no need to feel scared or intimidated by dancing. With our New Student Offer you can come experience a comfortable learning environment and instructors who can make you feel better about getting up and dancing on the dance floor!
